Couple questions was wondering if anyone uses these - can you school in them and is it true you can only use a pair at a time or can you use 4 at once. Thanks

I dont school in them as they make the legs quite warm as it is in my experience, ive only used 2 at a time.

I have a pair of the brushing boots. I do ride and jump in them and they stay on really well even in the mud. I bought them for a pony that had a swelling on his leg but they didnt reduce it at all but it was an old injury. Ive only got the one pair. I dont see why you cant use more than one pair though as each boot has either two or three magnets in depnding n which style you get so with one pair on they have at least four magnets on distributed between two legs. They do help with new swellings though

When I loaned Raffles to a friend she used bioflow boots on him as he has arthritis. I seem to remmeber that you should only use them on two legs at a time. I can't remember why, but I'm sure a bioflow supplier would be happy to explain.

May be their legs will stick together!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry sorry....... counldn't resist.
I use them and other magnetic wraps and boots and they are great. They do increase blood flow. Great for arthriticy and swellings etc.

They always used to say not to leave them on continually for more than 12 hours - so one pair alternates between fronts and hinds on a 12 hour rotation.
