maybe adding lamina would be a good idea, difficult because while pricked foot is a standard, this particular one has no (to the best of my riding knowledge and as ower of two horses) standard terminology
I would even venture pricked foot with embedded nail, the best of luck

sure this is not a guess although difficult to help you, I had not seen the no guess bit in your question

1 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks for the suggestion. I don't believe there is a standard term, either, and you have to add the "sensitive laminae" part. Tom Stovall (writes articles on the subject) gave a long explanation of pricking/quicking and talked about "nailing the foot" and "a nailed foot," so that is what I used. If you're interested, check out his articles on the Internet (http://www.web.wt.net/~stovall/farrier.htm, for example) -Gaby"
