That's my understanding as well. In the wild, a horse that cannot run is dead anyway. They never had any evolutionary pressure toward healing a leg injury.

Another issue may need to be addressed, probably as just a quirk. Unlike humanoids, they cannot reach their entire body. This was already raised with the "how do they scratch their butts" issue, but matters for other things, too. Without help, they cannot put armor or bandages on their rear legs.
