Depending on the nature of the break and the age and overall health of the horse, this very serious injury can sometimes be successfully treated. The treatment is usually extensive and expensive, but quite often worth it. However, if the horse is infirm or aged, the kind thing to do might be to put the animal down. This is something you should decide with lots of input from your trainer and your vet.

If the indent has been there sense he was born, then it is called a witch's thumb. This happens when a foal in the womb pushes one of his hoofs into himself (usualy in the neck). Thus if it is something along those lines there is nothing to cure/heal and your horse is perfectly fine.
