How long would it take for a centaur's broken leg to heal?

My fantasy world is medievalesque in technology. While healing magic exists, most centaurs do not have realistic access to it. Centaurs are your archetypal human torso, horse body. How long would it take for a centaur leg to heal?

I did some background research and a related question dealt with what kind of crutch they could use, but not the recovery time.

I also found info that a horse's leg (when not put down) takes about 3-8 weeks to heal with 4-6 months rehab. However it's my understanding that a horse is kept practically immobile to prevent them doing more damage and that's with modern medicine. On the contrary my Centaurs cannot afford to be stationary as their tribes follow/lead herds over the plains, which means a centaur with a broken leg will have to me mobile during recovery.

I'm assuming that the difference between front leg or back leg wouldn't be drastically different.

So, to reiterate, how long would medievalesque tech centaurs need to heal a broken leg given their nomadic lifestyle precludes the possibility of bed rest?
