Hi all,
I couldn't find anything in the posts & articles, so I am asking wether or not anyone has used magnetic therapy on their horses.
I am interested in a new Magnetic Bell Boot I see advertised (made by Flex Rider, and seen in the Smart Pack catalog).
Does anyone know wether or not magnetic therapy really works?
I would appreciate any opinions, suggestions, feedback on this.
Thanks to everyone!!

Good question! The answer seems to depend on who you ask. I have a friend that swears by magnetic therapy for herself and her horses; my vet doesn't think it works, but he wears a magnetic braclet "just in case!" I've never tried it, but certainly have wondered about it.

Boy does it depend! I was at a seminar once where a vet did an acupuncture demo. During her demo, she discussed influencing the magnetic fields in the horse's body. I asked her to compare/contrast acupuncture with magnetic therapy and was told that the latter was "inaccurate acupuncture"!!
