| I don't always have access to cold hose so I do ice boots. But don't get the expensive ones, cheap ones will do. I always do liniment once they are dry. If they have to be stalled for a weekend I try to get them out as much as possible to walk. |

| Walk until breathing normally. I ice legs afterwards. I have the cheap ice pack sheets you find in the camping section at Walmart and I use standing wraps to secure them, remove after 20 minutes. |

Location: MN | 98% of the time - I'll walk out of the arena, step off, loosen saddle, walk back up into the alley and take off all of his boots. He gets treats while hes stading there too. I believe that's what keeps my horse working so well...he literally will do anything for his favorite treat
Otherwise - if I cant get back into the arena, at a rodeo or some place, I'll walk up to the panels and take his boots of there. I usually hose him down afterwards if I have access to a hose as well.

What liniment do you like?
I've used them all I fee like. Really like DRAWitOUT. So much so I became a dealer.
No mess, no odor, no color, no fuss, no burn, no blister. It works. |
