No, that would SURE not be desirable, but actually, stocking up is due to 
fluid leaking out of the circulation, not out of the joint capsules.  It is 
indicative of the circulation in the lower leg not being adequate to handle 
the stress.  Some horses will stock up simply from standing overnight locked 
in a stall.
