Hi can you confirm that the magnetic hock boots can be left on at night in the stable and is safe to lie down whilst wearing them? He comes in at 3/4pm and goes out at 8/9am, will they be suitable? Thanks
Hi Mhairi,
The magnetic hock boots can be left on and they are safe to use overnight.
We recommend using them for about 12 hours. As long as your horse is not wearing them for prolonged periods ie. 24/7 then this will be fine.
If you need any further help, just let me know.
Best wishes,
Sam
Hi can the magnetic bands be left on 24/7 removing only for riding? horse is an eventer in full work
Many thanks for your question.
Yes that’s fine, the magnetic bands can be used 24/7. We recommend a daily break from the treatment for at least an hour, so taking them off for riding would be a great time to do this.
If you need anything else, just let me know.
Best wishes,
Sam
Hi Clare, we recommend using the magnetic bands before and after exercise. Here’s some more information about magnets and exercise. Best wishes, Sam https://www.magnetixtherapy.com/can-magnets-be-worn-whilst-exercising/
