Soft magnetic stable chaps. Ideal for horses suffering from stiffness and arthritis, particularly in the hock joint. Ergonomically shaped to allow Vitaflex® magnets to be placed directly at the lower part of the hock joint, the common location for hock arthritis. Contains 4 clinical grade, VITAflex® magnets. Suitable for use in the stable overnight or through the day. Comes with a 2-year product warranty. The unique design of these Magnetic Hind & Hock Boots not only allows you to put magnets anywhere from the coronet band up to and including the hock joint, but also ensures that your horse can comfortably wear them overnight without fear of them slipping down the leg. The ergonomic shape combined with the soft inner lining ensure a comfortable fit for your horse which is extremely important as the chaps are designed to be left on overnight and/or for substantial periods of time. Four Vitaflex® Magnets are supplied with each pair of boots. They are designed to be thin and flat, yet extremely flexible, which allows them to mould to the horse's 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 the simple hook and loop attachment. This allows you to target the magnets exactly where your horse needs them. Magnets have been used on both horses and humans for many, many years. Magnetic fields have been seen to sustain good blood flow and could therefore help to optimise leg health. Supporting leg health benefits joint mobility and function, and also helps to maintain strong tendons. These chaps can be used every day for maintaining leg health, usually overnight or in the day when stood in. They are suitable for horses in work from hacking to competition, including horses returning to work or retraining. Also ideal for older horses or those who are slow to warm up, horses on box rest, standing in for long periods of time or on limited turnout, and for general knocks and bumps. The body's cells have electromagnetic properties which means they can be energised by a magnetic field. Vitaflex® magnets present two alternating poles to the body, negative and positive, making them different to standard Neodymium magnets, which present only one pole. These strong, circular and permanent magnetic fields of alternating pole sequences penetrate into the body tissue. The magnets are also thin, long and flexible. This makes them ideal to add to the chaps so that they remain comfortable for the horse to wear. Encased in individual pockets which can be placed anywhere within the chap lining ensures that you can target the exact area you need to! Not to be used on open wounds, bruises, areas of inflammation or for the first 5 days following steroid injections.
