Infrared & magnetic boots/rugs

[Cowpony101]

Hi all, I’m thinking of buying some magnetic or infrared boots/rug / massage pad for post XC/ hard work but I’m wondering if they are actually worth it? I know basically nothing about them so anything is helpful! what do they do/ how do they help? what are the best ones? which is best for what reason out of the three: infrared, magnetic, or massage/therapy products?
tia!!

The equilibrium back massage pad is great, however I know nothing about magnetic products.

Ive got a magnetic rug and boots for my pony. I bought them to help with his slightly stiffer joints as he gets older. He wears the boots for an hour or so most days if hes stabled overnight and the rug to travel in as it helps warm and loosen his back up pre and post exercise. Im not 100% sure they make a huge difference but he does seem to enjoy wearing them and his legs are always lovely and warm afterwards, not hot and uncomfortable, just nicely warm. My farrier suggested I try them as he was struggling a little bit to hold his back legs up for long whilst being shod
