I noticed a lady at the yard using These on her arthritic 16yr old and it got my thinking

My beloved Sam, who is only 4, has bone spurs, one in his left hock. he's slowly coming off box rest and going out, but I was wondering whether this magnetic boots might be a worthwhile investment for him as the spurs will no doubt become arthritic in a few yrs

So would they help slow down the onset of arthritis?

And do people notice a difference when they do and don't use them?

He's also been on a joint supplement but as I'm not riding him at the moment it's difficult to know if it's really working/helping

[I bought the premier equine ones in their 40% off for daughter's mare with bone spavin. We put them on for hour before riding and does appear to help her a good bit. Even her instructor says that noticed she wasn't as stiff coming into lessons.

So glad we got them. But will admit unsure if its the magnets or just warming up hock area that helps. Maybe a bit of both. Either way I don't care as it works for horse.

Unsure if it would prevent any thing developing or getting worse tho.
