My daughter and son-in-law have an older horse whose facial bones were 
fractured just below the eye, caused by another horse that kicked him.  There 
have been no adverse reactions and the only residue of this injury is a 
tennis ball-sized depression in the skull.  I guess it would depend on the 
location of the fracture as to the outcome.
