It's an enterolith... a "stone" that forms in the digestive system of animals. That one probably came from the horse that is still undergoing surgery in the background (and is probably a record holder of some sort)

that's more like a large goat or a calf. too small to be a horse and has the wrong leg structure.

I agree that is not a horse shown. It might have come out of another animal not shown. It looks pretty big to have come from a goat. A calf maybe but how would a calf have been alive long enough so far to develop such a big thing? I'm guessing the stone and animal in the pic do not match up.

that must be Dr. Pulse in the background.

Yeah, definitely not a horse in the background now that I look again... too small. Probably just someone holding it up in the vet's office to go "look at this one we pulled out" and a picture was taken.

Doesn't Enterolith = Bezoar ?

Those are found in birds gizzards, crocodiles & dinosaurs. They deliberately swallow stones.
Goats are special, they grow some of their ones. But technically are the same thing.
I've heard of people developing them from stuff they eat. Horses too.
Do a booble image search for bezoar.
