"I use it, but in conjunction with other treatments, if your horse has a problem, it's a important to start with your vet. There's been research in the human field on bone healing which shows that it can definitely help. It wouldn't for example reduce an old splint, but if you have an active splint, it might help it to settle down quicker. It can also help settle things like bone and bog spavins with chronic inflammation. I have used static rugs and boots on chronic conditions such as old tendon injuries where the tendon is now all right but the horse's legs fill, and it does seem to bring down chronic inflammation. Static magnets have also helped windgalls. Rugs can be beneficial after competition and when travelling as long as the horse does not get to hot under the magnets themselves.

"There are very few people in serious competition who don't use it now and there's no doubt it can be of benefit. Scientifically, it's still somewhat controversial. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence from people who find that a horse who has been wearing a rug with magnets is a lot looser to ride straight out of the box".

Chris Caden-Parker - Equine Sports Therapist

"Experiments with thermography (heat imaging) have shown an increase in blood flow the use of magnets. Therefore, conditions which benefit from improvements in circulation are likely to respond positively to the use of a magnet". 

Magnetic Boots

Abigail Cannon's Holstein horse, Zing, has suffered from a variety of problems during the last year or so, and he is now coming back into work after some time off. Abigail started using magnetic boots on him quite recently and has been delighted with the results: "Zing is quite a stiff horse and takes some time to loosen up, especially after a night in his stable. I have been really surprised by the difference in him since using the magnetic boots. When I lead him out in the morning, instead of pottering off to his field as he used to, he really strides out. And when I ride him out with the other horses, he now keeps easily, whereas before he used to struggle. I was always a bit sceptical about magnotherapy, but now I'm convinced it really does work!"  

Magnetic Rug

We have recently purchased a Magnetic rug and have found it a very useful and valuable buy. It cost over £200, but feel it has not only been beneficial to our daughter's horse, who has arthritis in his neck, but also to our young horse when travelling. They sometimes came out of the horsebox stiff after travelling long distances, but when using the rug, we have never experienced a problem with this. Our daughter's horse has become much less stuff in his neck and she can feel the difference when she rides. The rug is straightforward to use and we are now considering buying some boots as well. I would definitely recommend the rugs to other horse owners, whether their horses are young or old.

Magnetic Boots

Sam Cundy found magnetic boots very useful for treating her Irish Sport Horse, Rosie, when she recently threw a splint. "Treating Rosie's splint was a real fuss at first, as it entailed ice packs and bandaging, which was quite difficult to do single-handedly, and was also quite time consuming. I also had to be sure that the bandaging was not too tight, yet tight enough not to slip, and I had to remember to put the packs in the freezer for use later on. It was all a bit of a performance really! "I then saw that magnetic boots were suitable for treating splints, and suddenly life became so much easier. All I had to do was put them on, which took just a minute or so, and then I could forget about them for a few hours! I just left them to work overnight in the stable. "It's rather difficult to quantify the benefits of the boots, but Rosie's splint healed at the shorter end  of the timescale then I had been told to expect, rather than the longer, and the remaining lump is actually quite small."
