How about poulticing?  I use Bickmore's, then wet paper bags, then quilted 
wrap, then polo wrap.  Supposed to draw any heat out. (Plus I figure it 
provides some support for the trailer ride home). I don't wrap after every 
ride as I  want to keep an eye on conditioning progress.  But, after a 50 or 
longer, I do.  Am I doing any harm, or just wasting my time, or doing some 
good?  Interested in opinions.
