I’m usually skeptical about stuff like this but horse has acquired the fleece rug and I can totally see the difference, so as she has to wear stable bandages at night and I was wondering if I got the BOT under pads instead of my normal ones can they be used all night? I use the rug all night but read somewhere you couldn’t with the bandages but can’t find where I read it.

I have the BoT pillow wraps for under my girls stable bandages and they stay on all night and have done since I bought them. I cant recall ever reading that they couldn't stay on all night!?! I really want some of their new scandic pads for under bandages :D.

I keep the stable boots on all night and have the no bow wraps and a rug that stay on as long as I need them to also. The thing with BOT is it is ceramic and not magnetic, so that's the reasoning behind being able to keep them on for longer periods of time.

Just out of interest as I'm always curious and have looked at all the BOT stuff, what differences do you see from using the rug?

She used to be really tight through her shoulders struggled with expression in trot and medium/lengthening and always got comments about needing to be softer over her back. Everything just feels much more free and things like mediums feel much easier. Had to leave it off two nights as I had a tear on a buckle to repair and she instantly looked/felt more stiff and needed longer to warm up.
Again I’m usually skeptical but I’m being won over.

yep I got got the light mesh rug and was really surprised at how effective it was. my lad is arthritic and used to come out of horse boxes at shows very stiff. when I use the rug to travel he comes off 100% bendier and more supple. it cut my warm up time by a massive amount, I can feel the difference in him straight away

I use the exercise sheet but nothing on earth could persuade me to use anything on their legs. It works by keeping the area warm. Not something you really want for legs.
