Uh, you better check with the head vet at the ride.  I know that some
ride vets will not allow ice during competition (including holds)
because of the anesthetic effect -- that it could mask symptoms the
vet needs to see.  AIR this was the position of the AERC Vet
Committee, too, but I'm not certain of that.  Heidi?
