 It is virtually impossible to get free-flowing iced
 water in sufficient quantities at most of our away vet
 checks.  Most checks are in an inaccessible location
 where the only water source is a pond or stream.
 
 Ice boots are a nice compromise in some situations.

Well, there is no naturally free flowing ice water that I know of.  Here's 
what we do with the race horses.

put crushed ice in a bucket, add a mix of 1/2 water. 1/2 alcohol. Soak two 
polo bandages per leg in the mix, then wrap the legs in these. Then pour the 
remaining ice/water/alcohol over and through the bandages for no more than 20 
minutes.
