Im another who doesnt do long periods of box rest. I have done it in the past and watching the mental impact it had on one horse in particular made me decide Id never do it again.
I have one recently diagnosed with PSD, sound in walk, about 1/10 on the straight in trot and about 4/10s on a circle. Damage is fairly substantial to the right hind. Shes living her normal routine, except for the work, Ive taken her shoes off and I will re-evaluate her in 12 months. I can just about afford to have her as an expensive pet and shes happy enough with half time in and half out.
If she can be turned away and you can afford an ornament for the time being, I would be tempted to give her a year and then see what things are looking like then. If that isnt an option than I would PTS.
