I’ve just bought some PE magnetic over reach boots. Really looking forward to using them. What are your opinions on magnetic boots/wraps and do you feel they have improved anything? Thinking about getting the hock wraps next...
 
We have magnetic rug & also fetlock boots. I was sceptical about them when we bought them as I could find no scientific reason for then actually achieving anything. We have been using them on our horses, 20yrs, 15 yrs & 8 yrs & wife & daughter say they can feel the difference in the horses when they are being ridden after using the magnets on them. I can only go by how they feel about them as I no longer ride. They appear to be working, but I cannot give any science as to why they are. :)
 
After feeling a massive difference to myself after using a bio flow band I now use the rug and boots for my older horse.
Straight away I felt more loose and less achy, I took it off for a few days and I definitely felt the difference so I’m my opinion I do think they work.
 
I don’t think they are amazing, but I do think they increase heat and blood flow, which improves circulation and relieves pain (same as a hot water bottle would). I used a pair of N.E.W. on my older horse when stabled at night in winter, I do think they helped him. (Prone to filling legs, and arthritic). I’d not use in summer, and I am not sure I would work in them, as risk over heating legs too high IMO.
 
Thanks guys, seems like positive experiences. I bought the over reach ones as my boy is on the long road to recovery of laminitis, he’s 2 months past the acute stage, looks and walks normal but still on box rest until hoof grows out a bit more and sometimes I find he’s a bit stiff on colder mornings. Worth a try!
 
Im neither a believer nor disbeliever in magnets and such. Yes they may work for some and not others but either which way they certainly do no harm.

I wear a copper bracelet with magnets in, i have done for nearly 2 years now and whilst i cant say it has had any massive effects I havent had any ganglion cysts in those 2 years. I used to have them on both wrists that would come and go for 8-12 months at a time. So i will continue to wear it.

My oh got me a pegasus magnetic bracelet for my birthday, again didnt notice anything special until it broke. I havent managed to get round to super glueing it back together yet!
