Magnetic Bell Boots

[criso]

Hi
I was wondering if anyone had had success using these and for what conditions.
A friiend of mine has just got some for her horse with Navicular and I was wondering if it would help mine who has soft tissue damage deep inside the hoof.

Also I noticed some referred to North magnets and some to South - does this make a difference.

Magnets help with circulation and degenerative conditions when used in the early stages of the degeneration.

Magnetic bell boots for navicular are certainly a good idea esp for structures deep inside the hoof.

Some people swear by magnotherapy and others do not. My OH, cat and horse all have magnotherapy for arthritic conditions and when OH does not have his magnet on, he really really feels it and without it my cat is a lot stiffner and requires more metacam. Am considering trying it myself.

Again its a matter of opinion, some people recommend north, south or bipolar magnets.

Its worth researching and finding the magnet which is best for your circumstances.

I am a big fan of magnotherapy and my horse has bioflow boots, armadillo and equilibrium magnetic stable chaps - he doesnt wear them all at the same time, bioflow for exercise in the summer, armadillo was the first ones I bought, but I wanted a boot which would dry his legs off and provide magnotherapy and the equilibrium ones fit the bill.

My cat has a bioflow 'necklace'.

Hope this helps.

I used N.E.W magnetic bell boots for my shetlands while line seperation and under-run soles. I think they help with the healing process and the new hoof growth so i would def unvest in a pair if possible. I was a bit unsure hence i got mine used from ebay and paid next to nothing for them, worth a look?

Thanks for the replies.
I should have made it clear - a friend of mine bought some for navicular; my horse has soft tissue damage ( he was MRI'd and there are no significant bone changes) and I was wondering if they would help.

I have bought some Equilibrium ones from Ebay and I figured it can't hurt. His hooves do grow very slowly so if they help with that too.
