And Bilbo's got it in one!
The center of a horse's hoof has a soft, spongy pad called the 'frog,' surrounded by hard substance just like our fingernails. That 'frog' actually helps pump blood back up the leg every time the horse takes a step! Without the action of their little hoofies, circulation would be more difficult.
You're up, Bilbo!
