Stocking up is cool swelling in a horse's legs. It is most often seen in the back legs, but can occur in the front legs as well, and even in one leg at a time. It is common in horses that are used to moving around but are confined. For example, a horse who is normally in pasture but is put in a stall may have some stocking up in his legs. It generally doesn't cause problems and after moving freely, either under saddle or in pasture, for anywhere from 10-20 minutes, the swelling will do down.
