    Yard Owners - is there such a thing as duty of care?

    Magnetic Boots

    Does anyone know if magnets wear out? Loose their polarity? I just bought some second hand veredus magnet leg wraps on ebay and they don't seem to be magnetic at all.

    Most ludicrous comment by show judge

    Cant agree more! However - I recently competed my Veteran Hunter in a VHS qualifier. All these judges are listed on a VHS list and have to be accredited.
