If you didn't see my other thread, my poor Red is probably going to be in a stall for a next few months (minimum).
What is your favorite therapy for a horse on sudden stall rest? He normally was turned out 24/7 in pasture.
I have BOT quick wraps that I will start increasing his wear time to wear them over the whole night, and then I just ordered some ShooFly leggings for during the day.
What about the PHT MagnaCUE Fast Wrap boots? I looked at their MagnaCU products and those looked of the most interest to me.
I'm also debating getting him a BOT or MagnaCU blanket ... but I'm not sure which one is better for a horse on stall rest ... or if I want to spend the money on one after all the vet bills.

MagnaCu Tendon Wraps are my favorite therapy item. I've been using mine every day since January unfortunately. The MagnaCu sheet was a lifesaver for me and my mare when she went from roping training to stall rest due to a sesamoid fracture. She was super fit and full of herself and had to be completely restricted. I contacted Julie to get tendon wraps from her and ended up getting a sheet as well. The first time I put it on her I was afraid she was sick! I had been having to sedate her to even be able to hand walk her....I put the MagnaCu sheet on her and put her on the walker to stand while I cleaned her stall and when I walked back out to get her she was laying down. Her eyes were quiet, almost drowsy and she was happy as she could be just hanging out in the sun.
