Magnetic boots-how long?

I've been leaving my boy's on overnight for a good few months now and, well, I don't know if it's that or the 101 other things I've tried to help with his soundness but he's looking sounder!!!

Good luck!
 
Brillient, when he was on box rest it was easy but now hes back out its become tricky to give him a decent amount of time with them on. What do you guys do nows its yucky in the fields? Do you not bother with them if there legs are wet?
 
I put mine on overnight, removing them during the day. If legs are wet then he doesn't wear them. I put them on just before I leave for the night.
 
Which ones do your guys use? My mare has hock arthritis and ive been using my friends and putting one on each hock but want to get my own and dont want to spend money on ones that arnt that great! :)
 
Have you thought of getting magentic bands instead of boots? The only reason the magnetic boots can't be left on all the time is because they heat the legs up, which bands dont do so you can leave bands on all the time even when they are turned out. I use them on my horse and they never come off even when he is ridden. I think this is a link to the ones that I have:
