The last time my horse developed a splint after being bored in the field and doing a bit of self mutilation to himself by kicking his opposite leg I managed to ride him after about 5 days, I think I was booked into a ODE. My horse stopped being lame after about three days. Just be sensible and if the horse becomes lame then stop.

Best thing for splints are ice cups for up to 3 days after the initial injury.
