i use the magnetic stable boots, not sure on the name of them but sure it begins with v. but found them very good on my horse, also my friends have used them and always had good feedback. well worth a try. also have a pair of bioflow there alright.

I have a bioflow bracelet for me and its bloody brilliant but I dont know about the results on horses - sorry. I used ot use green lipped sea mussel supplement from Holland and Barrett on an arthritic horse (under vet instructions) about fifteen years ago and that was a huge help.

Yes I use a bioflow magnet on myself as I was asthmatic last year, it has cleared it up completely. I have not tried one on my neds yet but I think they would really help.

You can use human wrist bands around fetlocks, much cheaper.

I have bioflow boots for my old man and use them more in winter when he is stabled more - I definately think they help him and would replace them if needed . I bought the human old man a magnetic knee wrap as he suffers with his knees and that helped him . I have used it myself too and found it good .

Op - Bioflow is very good, have used them on dogs, me and horse all with good results, in fact was so impressed with results became a distributor in 1999. You can return to your distributor within 90 days for a refund. If you would like to know more or want some written info please either post on here or email terry-oakes-roofing@hotmail.com (hope email is correct as very very new to emailing lol)

Our two boys are in Bio flow boots for leg injuries, obviously. Horses can't speak so the improvement seen in them can't be argued with or falsified. I too wear a pirouette bracelet, following a bad car accident many years ago and although it dosn't give me pain free I get less pain and more movement with it on than without. Why not try to loan some, to see, if they make any difference?

Quick question about the boots. I heard that they can only be left on for 12 hours at a time on same place. Is this the case as I can't always get there before the deadline and don't want to do him damage!

gordo - They can be left on 24 hours but would suggest you alternate from front to rear etc.
