Re: [RC] FEI/Bute - Sisu West Ranch

"...and that is ice. Ice has VERY strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties,..."

There are a few of important differences.

1. It leaves absolutely no residue. When you stop the ice, the anti-inflammatory properties stop.
2. It is completely external to the horse.
3. It is a logical extension of natural cooling. I have personally, encouraged a horse to stand in a cold, flowing stream at a checkpoint.

PS. Please do not interpret this post as advocating anything to mask pain in a horse before final check etc., I am just trying to point out that there are very real differences between internal, pharmaceutical treatment and external cooling.
