tendon injury

[michael mcmurray <mmcmurra@micron.net>]

How long does a horse with a 1 centimeter tear in his right front tendon
need to be confined? He has been in a paddock for almost 3 weeks. He has
no swelling, no heat and is not off when he paces and whirls in his
paddock. THe vet said 30 days stalled, but he is going crazy. I worry
about him re-injuring himself. Has anyon had any similar experience with
this type ijury and a horse that hates being confined?

I'd appreciate any information.
