I've never used them personally but had a friend who tried it on her horse that was a bleeder and they didnt help him at all. First run back after the patches he bled again.

Regardless in my opinion they are worthless (sorry to be blunt). The whole idea behind "re-setting the electrolyte balance" with a patch is absurd to me and there is absolutely no research behind what this product claims to do. I would focus more on diet if you are wanting to address a tying up problem. Just my 2 cents!

I don't know what those patches are and have never heard of them. My knowledge of tying up is an electrolyte imbalance. I would give a electrolyte before your ride and after. I like using THElectrolyte because it is a full spectrum. Has really helped my horses stay hydrated and healthy.
Nope, I wouldn't do it. I asked a dealer about them and I never got a clear answer about what they did or how they worked and what scientific research has been done. Also be careful with the electrolytes, if your horse won't drink with them then the there will be a high concentration in the blood of electrolytes and that can cause problems.
