Everyone with magnetic boots, please answer

[charlie55]

Can you feel the magnets in the boots?

 

[wonkey_donkey]

Yes I can clearly feel the magnets.

I have the Premier Equine one's

 

[loz9]

yes, they are about the size of a 5p. I have Aerborn Colin Cook ones.

No I can't feel the magnet's in my boots (bioflos) but I can feel the pulse if I put them over my arm..

Mmmm, i bought some off ebay, woof ones and i cant feel any magnets at all. Didnt know if i had been sold a VERY expensive pair of brushing boots!!
I will have to put them over my arm and maybe i will feel a difference??....

I can put boots on my mare and there is no heat on the leg...put magnetics on and she develops sweat under them..which I think is why you have to restrict useage on them when you first start using them also they drink more..

Just remember not to use them on pregnant mares, or use them if you are pregnant!!

I've got bioflow tendon wraps. The material that the wraps are mads from is flexible, so it's obvious where the magnets are.

 

[kezimac]

i have bioflow ones - i cant really feel where magnets are as they are brushing type ones for field - but you can tell if put on your arm

 

[charlie55]

Ok thanks guys, i shall be wearing them tomorrow

Test them with another magnet to see if it attracts (or repells) - spot the science teacher!!

Hi lizfh65
Yes, that was my thought - however, I found the magnets weren't that strong. They would repel (I think?!) my yard keys but it was fairly slight. However, I can feel them - bought them fairly cheaply from an ebay seller. I borrowed a friends Bioflow ones - which are much stronger - but just wanted to check how srong they were before putting them on!
OP - the answer is Yes always been able to feel them. However, worth trying with a key or similar....

 

[Prince33Sp4rkle]

yes, got the premier equine ones and can easily feel them.

 

[charlie55]

Ok, ive tryed everything possible to get them to repell or attract and ive worn one on my arm for half an hour and cannot feel anything different at all. Even got my mum to wear one lol.
Ive emailed the seller off ebay and as i expected im getting ignored so i may have to open a dispute thingy

If you aren't sure about where the magnet is - run some metal over it and see if the magnet grabs it.

My mare has Arthritis in her knees and I have just started to use Bioflow boots this week in the hopes they will help her and my Vet says leave them on all the time but as it's been hot since using them I just take them off in the evening, give her legs a really good rub down until they're dry and then put them back on that way I know she's comfortable too.

Get something metal and smooth it over the boots. If the magnets are there they will pick up the metal. Try it and see?
