It's the lower part of his right hind leg. I saw it, but don't want to go into details.

It was his ankle. He was running on the side of it. Putting all his weight on the ankle bone

It looks like he has fractured one of the bones in his fetlock/pastern. His hoof was flopping wildly when he was pulled up and when he was standing waiting for the ambulance. The fact that he will not put any weight on it at all speaks volumes. Horses' hooves simply do not move like that normally. What a shame.
