Best magnetic boots for horses – plus wraps and chaps

Looking for the best magnetic boots for horses? There’s actually quite a lot choice when it comes to therapy and magnetic boots, but as with the best therapy and magnetic rugs, it can be tricky to work out which ones are right for your horse. There are quite a few variables, which are not all necessarily easy to understand at first – but we’re here to help you compare the options and make the best choice for your horse.

First you need to decide what type of boots, bandages or wraps you’re looking for, and what you’re hoping to gain from purchasing a pair or set. Some can be worn interchangeably on the front and hind legs, while others you will need to purchase separate boots due to the shape – so this is also something to consider. Some are designed to be worn during exercise, but most should be worn when your horse is at rest in the stable.

These magnetic chaps allow you to target magnets exactly where you want them. The nylon inner and polyester fill provide enough warmth and padding while remaining flexible and comfortable. Four flat, flexible and moveable magnets are included with each pair of boots – they present two alternating poles to the body, negative and positive, making them different to standard neodymium magnets, which present one pole. They have a different design for fronts and hinds, and can be used as part of a daily routine when a horse is stabled.

These stable wraps are designed to be worn in the stable. They feature a soft, naturalistic ceramic-infused lining that emits a safe form of far infrared radiation, which is a natural process that gently and safely assists blood circulation. The outer fabric of the wraps has great wicking properties making them great for drying legs after washing down or bathing. They are also ergonomically shaped to fit both the front and back legs with a supportive pastern wrap design. They are lightly padded to help provide protection and support to your horse’s lower limbs.

These magnetic boots can be used everyday as part of your horse’s routine for maintaining limb and joint health. These lightweight and breathable boots are durable so they can be used overnight in the stable or for travelling. Offering a contoured fit. The magnetic can be positioned where you need them. Each magnet pair has over 3000 Gauss. The magnets have protective sleeves allowing you to wash them easily. These boots come with 36 magnets.

Although each different type of therapy boot – be it magnetic or ceramic-infused – works in a slightly different way, they all aim to improve circulation and blood flow. In turn this is thought to increase oxygen supply to the tissue, reduce muscle tension and aid recovery by removing toxins faster and reducing inflammation. Magnets and ceramic fibres are not healing, but rather are thought to create the right environment to encourage the body to heal itself.

Therapy boots or rugs that contain ceramic fibres are designed to reflect the horse’s back into the body. Whereas when magnets are incorporated within boots or rugs, the magnetic properties in the body’s cells will either attract (those that are opposite) or repel (those that are alike) them, which is thought to increase the activity of the cells. The best cooling boots, on the other hand, are designed to reduce the temperature of the internal structures in the lower leg.
