What is
the material used within the Magnetic Boots for horses?
Our Magnetic Boots are made of nylon inner and outer, with
polyester fill. The fill provides enough warmth and padding but is not too
thick so the boot remains flexible and comfortable while providing some warmth
but not overheating the legs.
The inner layer is completely velcro receptive too so that
our magnets can be placed anywhere throughout the boots.
Four Magnets are supplied with each pair of boots.
They are reasonably thin and flat, yet extremely flexible. This allows them to
mold to the horses’ legs, should they need to be placed over a joint. Supplied
in a small pouch, they can be placed anywhere within the magnetic boot lining
with a simple hook and loop attachment. This allows you to target the magnets
exactly where your horse needs them.
Which
magnets are used and how do they work?
The body’s cells have electromagnetic properties which
means they can be affected by a magnetic field. The magnets used in our
Magnetic Chaps for horses and present two alternating poles to the body,
negative and positive, making them different from standard Neodymium magnets,
which present only one pole. These strong, linear and permanent magnetic fields
of alternating pole sequences penetrate into the body tissue.
When
should these Magnetic Boots for horses be used?
- Every
day as part of your horses’ daily routine for maintaining leg health.
Usually overnight or in the day when stood in.
- For

to work or retraining.
- For
older horses or those who are slow to warm up.
- Ideal

- General knocks and bumps.
