So my boy has recently started having a few stumbles in the trailer, we think we have solved this. He had his back done after the major stumbles but he's still a bit stiff, seems fine once warmed up.
We are off the dressage today and i always plait the night before (he get less tense this way) & whilst plaiting i put a magnetic rug on him for the first time, within ten minutes he was well and truthfully relaxed (if you get what i mean ;) ) & asleep.. is this normal? I had been suggested to travel him in it but im slightly concerned with quite how chillax he got
I was going to get a massage pad for him but was let down at the last minute for a second hand one i was due to buy
 
Magnetic rugs are supposed to increase blood flow, maybe thats how it affects him. I've just bought one for my kissing spine mare to see how it helps her, it was recommended by my Instructor. Will see how it goes.
