The author (MB, right) applying a cooling collar to a horse in the immediate post-race period. The horse showed signs of distress, irritability, restlessness, and was occasionally kicking out. It has been cooled with iced water and the ice collar used as an adjunct to whole body cooling. Note the dull-eyed look, slack ear position, and the dilated nostrils. Source—J Equine Vet Ed, 2021.
