best magnetic boots for fetlock arthritis

[zulu705]

Hi,

I going to buy some magnetic boots for my mare who has now decided to have arthritis in her front fetlocks. She lives out 24/7 and I would prefer some sort of boot that could be worn 24 hours and/or a boot that could be worn for exercise. Can anyone recommend anything?

Thanks.

i got mine ages ago, but it was off ebay and it goes on similar to a sports wrap boot. i like it because its got moveabloe magnets that velcro on when you need them. i cant remember the name at the moment but if you get stuck give me a shout and i will rumage it out!
.......not sure if any of them are suitable to be worn 24/7 as yoou have to build up the time gradually i believe

Cairo used to wear magnetic straps and he wore them for several years 24 x 7. I used to run my finger under them every few days to make sure no rubbing - they never did.

For him, they worked and being straps did not cause any heat, plus they went under his feather and people did not know he had them on. In winter they could be taken off and dipped in a bucket if they got very muddy, but his did not as covered in hair.

They come from http://www.magnetic.uk.com/

Thanks to both of you.

Think I might get the strap ones then as they can be left on in the field. I presume they are adjustable so they don't fall down and off?
