I agree here with Wendy - I've used one of those neck things
and you have to rotate it often to keep yourself cool. It
seems to work by evaporative cooling - so if you wrapped the
horse's legs in crystal filled wraps, you might just end up 
with moist, warm legs.

Maybe those freezeable gel packs would work better - do they
stay squishy once frozen?
