I have read (somewhere - Trail Blazer, EN, SERA newsletter, maybe??) that
icing at a vet check and then taking off the trail may NOT be such a good
thing because you are asking cooled, very tight tendons to start working
again and the chance for injury increases over asking non-cooled tendons to
start working again. Makes sense I guess....Course I have also read that
icing at checks *is* a good thing - maybe I read too much???? <g>
Also, how long do you leave them on?
