My boy, General, attached a trailer when he
was 3+ and broke his forehead. For about 3 weeks, he had a jibbah that would
make a “Living Art” Egyptian breeder drool. Then the swelling
went down and he was left with a divot about 3 inches by 3 inches and maybe an
inch deep in the middle of his forehead. There was nothing that
could be done with a break in that area, so we just had to let it heal on its
own. Makes a great conversation piece! Other than the cosmetic, there’s
nothing wrong with General since it healed.

Have a gelding that got
kicked or ran into something in the pasture 1 month ago. Looked like a bang on
the forehead between eyes and ears, dead center. He is a pill, so I imagine he
deserved it if he got kicked. It was a small abrasion that swelled a few days,
scab fell off. Now that it is healed, he has a 1" round
"dent" in his skull! Will it grow back or be that way forever? Its my
kids horse and he seems ok mentally, still bossing everyone around. Should a
vet look at it now?
