Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Sorry to hear about your turkey. I can't imagine that bones were not broken if he was stepped on by a horse. Have you tried soaking his bad foot in cold water to try to reduce swelling?

Poor turkey. The foot isn't going to heal correctly without setting it.
