Location: Alabama | Interested in purchasing some products for my small fleat of barrels horses and I was interested in what yall use hauling, rejuvenating, & keeping them feeling good...
I've seen magnetic wraps and sheets, Back on track products, soft rides, equi flex sleeves, standing wraps, supplements, ect... What have been your favorites with what horses and what (if any) issues have they helped? | |

| I have a high maintenance mare that I have had her whole life. She gets BOT blanket and front quick wraps at night and before a run. She is gastric and hindgut ulcer prone. She gets Gastrogard on race days. She lives on Succeed and corn oil in her feed.
My other horse I just started. He is 6. He will eventually have his own BOT blanket and will wear hock wraps before runs. He had several outs but passes a vet check though I want to do all I can to keep him in good shape.
Come March I will put both on pentosan. They are both currently on THE MM with blood flow and joint. | |

| I love BOT and Magnet therapy. Each of these work differently and I like to alternate them out. Therapy products can get expensive so pick something that will benefit both your horse and your pocket book. They are like buying insurance. If possible ask to borrow a friend at a race or for the weekend. I do that a lot to help people out. Its hard to cough up all that money and then not be satisfied with the product or result. I have a wide range of products from vibe plates on down. The soft rides...love the concept hate that they don't hold up and have no warranty. Even if they had a way to send them back and pay for the repairs ourselves would be better than nothing at all. Good Luck!! | |

In my opinion corn oil is one of the absolute worst things you can feed a horse. Highly inflammatory | |

Location: Here | Throughout the years I have learned it is best to keep the body on a neutral enviroment. In other words, ie corn oil promotes inflammation, Bot reflects the body heat, I want products both therapy and feed that is helping this horse stay in homeostasis.
Unipolar magnets PHT, Forco, probiotics, THE, equi-bone, low starch no sugar feed, Adequan, game ready, ice horse, Copper wear ie CuHorse, MagnaCu, balanced eletrolytes when needed, hymlanian salt, proper shoeing, proper hauling ie no slinging around in trailers, soft rides, wool saddle pads, legs wrapped when on the trailer, and in a confined stall for long periods, etc. Anything that will help keep my horse's body in balance.
I have done lots of research on feeds, supplements, therapies over the years, I try it on me first most of the time if possible, and then go from there. I listen to the horse. Most people don't take the time to build a relationship with their horse, I feel this is a very important bond. Chiro, massage, and most importantly a great vet
