In anticipation of snow - if pony-o's feet get packed with snow, will pouring warm water on them to defrost them have a negative impact on his hooves\frog?

Have stocked up on vaseline too try + prevent snow clogs xx
 
Cold water will melt the ice just as quickly.

I have a tub of water, use the brush side of my hoof pick to get the snow/ice wet and then it comes out easily :)
 
Thanks guys. When snow\ice is really packed in solid a hoofpick sometimes won't dig it out. As pony has mild arthritus in the knees I have to be very careful when picking out his feet or it hurts his knees! Thanks for the water tip x
