Straw Poll

How do you look after your horse's legs after strenuous exercise?

There are lots of ways to cool your horse's legs and minimise the risk of swelling after strenuous exercise such as eventing, endurance, show-jumping or even hunting. What's your preferred method? (By the way, have you seen the superb demonstration of icing horses legs with event rider, Kitty Boggis? It's in the Stable Management section of the Library. Infact, it gave us the inspiration for the Straw Poll!)
