Swollen Fetlocks in the Morning

[Piglet]

Advice needed re the above pleeeeeeease! My horse is stabled at night in a big stable, he is 13 years old but evey morning when I go to turn him out, his fetlocks are very swollen, I appreciate he has developed some small windgalls which doesn't help. I have recently bought some magnetic over reach boot style bands for him to maybe hopefully help with the circulation, has anyone used them before for the above complaint and if so what is the result, I haven't left them on overnight yet as I need to monitor first.

Any advice or ideas on diet etc would be much appreciated, he is fed a sugar free diet and hay due to his temperament, too much sugar sends him hyper!!

yep, sounds like my tb, magnetic boots help as do the stable wraps from premier equine. Providing that they are sound and they go down its nothing much to worry about.

So long as they go down with exercise/turnout there is nothing to worry about like the previous poster said. Bioflow boots are good but the new boots do not wear well in the slightest!
