'Therapy' boots - do they help?

[muddygreymare]

My mare has mild arthritis in one of her hocks. It doesn't affect her too much but she does get quite stiff sometimes. After trying supplements and gels and things like that that sort of help but not massively, I was wondering about a therapy type hock boot for her.

I've looked at the Back on Track ones which look really good but does anyone on here use them and what differences have you noticed? Also any experiences of other brands of boot/types of therapy that could help her would be helpful too. Thanks

I have the back on track boots and they are great - my horse is currently on box rest and wearing them her legs look fab - she has a splint that is rubbing on suspension ( not the reason for box rest) and her splint has actually gone down

Thank you I might buy one and see, i suppose if it works it's cheaper than forking out on different supplements etc.

I've got the NEW Magnetic boots, and find that they do help.
