First you must make sure that you do not add more injury to the leg. Making sure that there is not a bad problem with the leg by asking a vet would be the preferred way. But if you know it is only stiff and not anything worse you can (If the horse will allow you) put the leg in a bucket of hot water (hot that you can put your own foot into) and let it soak to relieve stiffness. After soaking wrap with a leg wrap and let the horse stretch the leg by walking for a few minutes.
