	What do you do for legs while hauling-especially 4+ hours? I have one that doesn’t like splint boots very well so I am looking for an alternative to help him when we go longer distances. Thanks!

If I’m hauling 4+ to a competition i generally try and plan for enough time to do some hand walking when we arrive to get circulation going again and then let him chill with his BOT boots on. For the return trip if I have to load up and leave right after a run I will either ice his legs while I pack up, or use a poultice without wraps.
