For decades, stall rest was considered the standard treatment for many equine injuries. According to sport horse veterinarian Dr. Julie Vargas, prolonged inactivity can lead to bone density loss and make the return to work more challenging. Today, many rehabilitation programs focus on carefully managed, controlled movement that supports healing while maintaining strength and long-term soundness.
