Muscles, tendons and ligaments need to be able to move and stretch accordingly or they'll tear. If they're tight, a simple maneuver can be devastating because the normal range of motion is inhibited. You warm up before a run to prevent injury by getting everything warm and loose.

I would for sure not ice close to a run, like other posters have said, getting everything warm and loose is more helpful for barrel horses. This especially important when it's cold and damp out, because even I feel stiff then.

Expert Posts: 1409 Location: Oklahoma	that is why I was confused because I knew the track ice before. I haven't been icing before I always thought warm before and cold afterwards. Thanks
