Has anyone any advices on bipolar boots. I have a horse sensitive to hard ground. X-rays & vets advices have been inconclusive. Sound again after a rest but i want to keep us sound!!! Thinking of PE hoof boots & or wraps!

I have three different sets. I have bio flow magnetic brushing boots I use for turnout. They are fab and lasted really well. I have premier equine stable boot magnetic wraps I don't like them they are bulky I find they slip and soak up urine but if your on a budget a cheaper option. I have replaced them with veredus magnetic stable boots much more expensive cheapest place I found was horse health website. But I love them they are light weight don't slip and not bulky. I highly recommend them.

Thank you! Veredus boots i looked at also, but until I'm sure this is going to help this horse I think I will stick to the budget option! Lol!

Don't blame you as the soo expensive !! I do think magnets are helpful and have used on a few different horses with success. Best of luck x

Bioflow are brilliant, they keep my horses legs down by improving circulation due to the central reverse polarity, which is unique to Bioflow. Its just another word for messing around with the south/north poles of the magnets to create an additional blood flow due to the pull of the poles.
The only thing I hate about the new style bioflow (by new style I mean the materials been in production about four years now) is that they don't last very long due to the material used. THey used to use a stomatex type material with a bind around the boot, but now they use neoprene (presumably to cut costs) and it doesn't last very long and ends up fraying and getting chunks missing out of it.
Luckily the yard that I am - the YO always puts them up high onto the stable manger of the stable opposite so that the dogs/horses can't eat them which used to happen at the old yard.
I would strongly advise getting Bioflow boots, I have the tendon wraps as well as the brushing boots. Having owned a horse who I was told would never jump again and was 3/10ths lame coming out of his stable, 48 hours after wearing the boots completely drug free old Billy came out of the stable almost sound. I use them every day for a maximum of 12 hours as there can be adverse affects if they are left on longer. Each day I alternate them.
Brilliant piece of kit - if it wasn't for the rubbish material I'd rate an easy ten out of ten. As it is I'd give 9/10. I absolutely swear by them. If you are near Solihull I can loan you the tendon wraps/an old pair of brushing boots for a week if you are prepared to give me a deposit which is only fair as I don't know you at all! Then you can see for yourself before you buy your own as they are about £70 now.
