According to "Horses:A Guide to the Selection care and enjoyment" by
Evans, scalping is defined as: The top of the hindfoot (right above the
coronet) hitting the toe of the front foot right after the forefoot
breaks over. So this scalping would be an injury on the rear leg.

I couldn't find an exact name for what you described, but I'll keep
looking....
