It was not a decision that I took lightly and he is still at the yard so I see him every day. It did not take the new owner ...

Advantages: Increased Blood Flow
Disadvantages: A Little Expensive

...to the help team at Bioflow who answered my questions enthusiastically as i was quite skeptical about magnetic boots for a start. I wondered whether they did actually help or whether it was just an imaginary thing. I opted to go for the wraps, as my primary time of use was going to be when the horse was in her stable through the night. The brushing boots seem to have a tough strike pad which i felt may not be as good for in the stable and i also ...

Why use a numnah? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A saddle that fits correctly should not, theoretically need a numnah. However, there are veryfew horses that are happy being ridden without a numnah.
