The Product:
Store the First+Ice packages in your home or stable refrigerator freezer chamber. Remove just before you plan to use. Store in an insulated cooler if you are unable to use them immediately.
The Horse:
Cross tie the horse in a stall or wash rack. Wet down the horse’s hock(s) with a sponge.
The Wrap:
