If a horse has a nail in his sole, he has a high risk of infection. Below the sole is living tissue. A nail could have introduced dirt and bacteria into the hoof. Consult with a professional such as your veterinary practitioner.

What do you do for a horse who a shoer quicked this hooves with a nail?
Call the vet and the farrier (if he didn't know he did it). Since the nail will carry bacteria with it (imagine how dirty the sole is that the nail was pounded thru) and the quick is a very sterile environment you don't want to take any chances. I don't think it's safe to self treat it. No hoof, no horse.

If a horse throws a shoe while riding what should you do?
If you are just excerisng your Horse/Pony in the arena, dismount immediately, and lead your horse out to untack him and call the farrier. If you are on a Hack and you are far from home, use your mobile phone to call anybody you know with a horse box to come and pick you up, then phone the farrier. Never continue to ride a horse if it has thrown a shoe, is is most likely to damage the hoof more severly. You need to make sure that the shoe is completely off and that there are no punture wounds on the sole or frog of the foot from the nail. If the shoe is still partially attached you need to completely remove it, which may require a pair of shoe pullers. You should keep a well fitting boot on the hoof to protect the bare foot until the farrier is able to see your horse. If you are riding, walk the horse back to the barn, don't ride.
