Your bones are tough stuff - but even tough stuff can break. Like a wooden pencil, bones will bend under strain. But if the pressure is too much, or too sudden, bones can snap. You can break a bone by falling off a skateboard or crashing down from the monkey bars.
When a bone breaks it is called a fracture (say: frak-chur). There's more than one way to break or fracture a bone. A break can be anything from a hairline fracture (a thin break in the bone) to the bone that's snapped in two pieces like a broken tree branch.

What happens when you break you bones?
Bones are tough but they can still break for many reasons. When a bone is broken, it is called a fracture and it can break in many different ways, like a complete fracture is when it is broken in two, or an open fracture where its sticking through your skin. Anyways, it takes time to heal depending what has happened, but it will heal in time.
Can horses self-heal broken bones?
It depends on the bone that is broken, how it is broken and how old the horse is. Tail bones (coccyx and caudal vertebrae) will generally be left to heal on their own without the need to set or cast the injury; leg bones will generally not heal even if a cast is placed over the break. Also, a smooth break tends to heal worse than a jagged break, because all the cracks and crevices in a jagged break help hold the pieces together. Finally, a young horse (colt, filly, yearling) will typically heal from broken bones better than a mature horse (mare, stallion, gelding) due to the increased weight placed on the skeleton.
