The hoof surrounds the distal end of the second phalanx, the distal phalanx, and the navicular bone. [5] The hoof consists of the hoof wall, the bars of the hoof, the sole and frog and soft tissue shock absorption structures. [5] The weight of the animal is normally borne by both the sole and the edge of the hoof wall.
