State competition

i went to the county competition and made it to state but my horse gets a little scared in the stall and sometimes her feet swell up even after excercising and taking her out alot, should i give her relax or something like that? and should i wrap her feet to keep from swelling?

I agree with quilts and standing wraps -- cold hosing helps also.

Multiple day shows I usually end up poulticing overnight.
