This just seems plain foolish to me. Did you get a followup ultrasound? If
there are
still lesions in the tendon fibers, there's a good chance of re-injury. Just
because
the horse is going sound, doesn't mean that the tendon has healed. Tendon
fibers simply don't repair/regenerate that quickly.

I recommended that, as soon as the muscle stimulation via TENS brought the
heat and swelling down, that rehabilitative exercise be undertaken. I
recommended that any sign of adverse reaction to the exercise would be cause
for backing up and taking a hard look. Thus far, this hasn't occurred here,
and the rehabilitative exercise is providing benefit without further injury.
This is standard practice in human medicine--imaging is not a continuing
sidelight of these treatments because it is so expensive. Before going into
hard work, though, another ultrasound scan would be appropriate.
