Location: MN | I know they are all used differently and for different reasons. My question is why would you choose PHT/MagnaCU, one over the other?
BOT for what reasoning?
Just interested to hear why you chose one over the other and your experiences with them!
THANK YOU!

Location: Central TX | Honestly, I bought the magnetic blanket from Schneider Saddlery for my mare... I can't afford the 500$ blanket although if I could I might have bought one. I feel my blanket does just as good as the others. I am a certified equine massage therapist so I pay close attention to my mares soreness level and what triggers her points, since using the blanket on her she has less soreness in the areas she used to be tense on. I always leave it on her when hauling and standing tied. Seems more relaxed too. On the other hand I do have used BOT hock boots and have not used them since last time I put them on her, she kicked out viciously with those on. Guess I have to get her used to the idea of them...

I could be wrong but I feel like it's how much you're able to spend and if you want a fashionable blanket compared to the plain white with black magnets one.
The PHT blankets use the highest grade bi polar magnets available. I know the other brands do not. Yes, they are expensive but you are paying for the quality of the product. It is not about being a fashionable blanket as compared to a plain white with black magnets. Have you researched the difference? I researched mine before I purchased. I used to use the Norfields magnetic wraps because it was what was in my price range. After reading up on the PHT, I made the educated decision to purchase the magna cu because I wanted something I could use on myself as well as my horses. I wouldn't use a different magnetic brand now knowing what I know. |

Location: Central TX | Wasn't trying to step on any body's feet. And I'm sorry if using the word "fashionable" did that to you. I did research the brands and what they use.. but unfortunately I can't afford those brands currently. So I purchased the Schneider one which for my mare works, thankfully. It's an option to consider for those looking. |

I could just go over to ebay and buy me a Hilason saddle to get the job done instead of spending so much on the one I use too....but it's not really the same thing is it?
It's not just about fashion. It's about function, quality, durability, and the fact that I thoroughly enjoy supporting small business!
I see people every week running sore horses at every jackpot they can find....and still telling the same story about not being able to afford a vet bill, therapy item, better quality feed or hay, and the list goes on. |

Yep they sure did. From design of the blanket to the circles to the placement. Exact replica except with cheap magnets, no customer support, cheap shell. We have customers that have our original design (white shell with round magnets) that are still using our product today. Still in great shape and have lasted. We changed to Squares and went with a different shell to differentiate ourselves from the "copy cat" blanket. Customers wanted to be able to visually see that they were not using a product that looked like the cheap copy.
So that is who we evolved to the "fashionable" blankets.

It just arrived via UPS! The box was almost completely destroyed, so the UPS guy watched me open it to make sure it wasn't damaged.............thankfully, it looks intact. Excited to get to use it for this weekend. |

| I've been a customer of PHT forever. My daughters mare use to have a hamstring issue. Thanks to the new NagnaCu stifle wraps, that problem is in the past. PHT simply has superior products and is cutting edge in innovation. I know a lot of people like the BOT products. My understanding is BOT is a ceramic product. That means it creates heat. I personally would only want heat in specific situations and not necessarily for everyday use. JMHO |

I don't agree. We have BOT wraps and MagnaCu wraps and I much prefer the MagnaCu. The BOT wraps are like super hot shipping boots, whereas the MagnaCu leaves the leg cool and pulls the swelling more effectively by increasing circulation. |

| BOT before exercise and for older arthritic horses it really helps to warm them up and have them moving more freely. Using them sparingly in the summer but winter is almost here and they will have them on more often.
PHT is great for trailer ride home but we don't do it before....it really relaxes and calms one down...sometimes a lil too much....for horses with pain, anxiety, or gate issues I could see using them before tho.
Have old tradition PHTs way back when they were white and buckled. Wanting to upgrade but just haven't yet. Anyone seen a huge benefit to the copper yet? Also, do the quick wraps stay on better now? Have old ones and they slide down....wish they had a more "wrap like design" like the BOT quick wraps...I'd b all over some cooling/magnet/quick wrap type boots for the trailer ride home. |

Location: Beggs, OK | The copper is antimicrobial and helps heal any skin abrasions they might have. During the heat of the summer, after unloading them from the trailer I saw that my horse that was wearing the PHT sheet was sweating under it...the horse wearing the MagnaCu sheet stayed cool. The one wearing the MagnaCu sheet only sweats under the magnets on his hip where he has been staying sore.
I use the MagnaCu tendon wraps with a standing bandage more than anything else in the barn. |

| If you are handy enough you can make your own magnetic blanket- there are many suppliers of neodymium magnets on the internet, just do a google search. I've used them just glued or taped to specific areas individually, and also glued into a piece of fabric for a browband or poll relief strip. www.apexmagnets.com is where I've gotten alot of mine- you can get 50 magnets with a pull force of almost 2 pounds for less than $10.00. I'm all about affordable and effective- not so much "fashion" either, lol. |

I've never had a problem with my quick wraps not staying on or moving? I use mine religiously. They also have a wrap called a Fast Wrap .
As far as the MagnaCu, I am LOVING the results, I posted pictures of my personal results on page 1 I believe. |

Those magnets aren't even close to being what the PHT ones are. That's like taking a watermelon, making key lime pie out of it and expecting it to taste like real key lime pie. Or saying a donkey is a Percheron. |

Im also leaning more toward the MagnaCu blanket and hood...Im guess im just still one of those skeptics that hopes to see results once I spend the money! Look and seem to be the best on the market and there must be a reason why the Pro's are using them!

YES!!!!! In the time I had it, it NEVER saw the horses. Yes, I got the size my boy needed, but it didn't leave the house. I would wrap myself in it watching tv or reading.... I would get all tingly and relaxed wearing. It was a noticable difference. I broke my femur and have broken both ankles, so I'm a mess and cold weather hurts me. |

Quality is not the same among suppliers. Strength is realitive. And types are used for certain areas of the body. AND we do not use Neodymium on the blankets If you choose to make your own, that is your wonderful right.
Neos absorb heat when in direct sun and can build up to very hot and have been know to blister horses. ( another brand uses Neos on blankets but not PHT)
Copper also is not all created equal in purities |

Location: Here | trickster j - 2015-09-17 4:56 PM PHT magnets are also Rare Earth neodymium magnets- eta: they are the strongest available. You are picking and choosing and guessing on which types and grades we are using. So again, I can promise these are not the same magnets as you are buying.

Yes Unless you have a pacemaker or pregnant. Magnets and Pacemakers/pregnancy should not be used together regardless of brand |

Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | polorunner - 2015-09-18 12:22 PM I have used both products, PHT blanket and BOT, still have both in my trailer. To all of you that have the MagnaCu Quick Wraps, what is the quality of the wrap? I have seen some for sale on FB and I am curious how well they are made.
I use mine religiously and not a think is wrong with them! |

I've used them just glued or taped to specific areas individually, and also glued into a piece of fabric for a browband or poll relief strip. www.apexmagnets.com is where I've gotten alot of mine- you can get 50 magnets with a pull force of almost 2 pounds for less than $10.00. I'm all about affordable and effective- not so much "fashion" either, lol. Those magnets aren't even close to being what the PHT ones are. That's like taking a watermelon, making key lime pie out of it and expecting it to taste like real key lime pie. Or saying a donkey is a Percheron. That would be like putting gasoline in a diesel vehicle because it's all the same right?
Ummm.. no.... |

Neos absorb heat when in direct sun and can build up to very hot and have been know to blister horses. ( another brand uses Neos on blankets but not PHT )
Copper also is not all created equal in purities
Thanks- I was just going by the info you had about them posted on your website.

So there is no confusion. This is what is said on our website PHT Magnetic Horse Blanket
PHT is the only magnetic horse blanket on the market that targets all of the important acupuncture meridians and points, as well as major muscle groups.
Our Magnetic Horse Blanket is designed to keep your horse fully balanced with our strategically placed magnets on major acupuncture meridians and points. This blanket provides soothing delivery of magnetic therapy by addressing the major muscle groups, as well as the stomach and lung meridians. Great for those sore muscles as well as the finicky eater and bleeder. Whether you are going on a short or long trip, this magnetic horse blanket gives you the confidence that your horse is ready to compete when you arrive. Our blanket is made of a nylon mesh which is cool in the summer or can be used under a winter blanket when the temperatures drop. The magnets we use are Grade 8 Ceramic unipolar |

Lol- I know I hit a nerve- my apologies, I didn't mean to. All I said was that I have used Rare Earth neodymium magnets for therapy for years, and I know alot of other equine practitioners who have used them as well. On your website you mentioned that you also used Rare Earth neodymium magnets - maybe I shouldn't have quoted the price of them, but I don't know what you sell your magnet blankets for so to me it was irrelevant.
Hot shots aren't microcurrent- lol- that's funny, but I wouldn't be surprised if some have tried a hot shot for "therapy." :) |

I'm not going to copy and paste what I read- but I will say that Rare Earth neodymium magnets are worth the extra money- |

No Nerve just trying to make sure you understand that we don't use those on the blankets. We do use neos in other products but not blankets. |

MagnaCU blanket is on my list of wants for sure!!!! Everytime I get my dollars saved up something breaks. Sigh....one of these days!!!
I had one and used it on myself... had to sell it to pay for an unexpected bill : ( I am saving for another one... It felt so good on me... I'm sure Duncan would love it....
So you used the MagnaCu on yourself? I was also wondering if they were safe to use on humans too.
YES!!!!! In the time I had it, it NEVER saw the horses. Yes, I got the size my boy needed, but it didn't leave the house. I would wrap myself in it watching tv or reading.... I would get all tingly and relaxed wearing. It was a noticable difference. I broke my femur and have broken both ankles, so I'm a mess and cold weather hurts me.
Now that is funny! That it never left your house  But that is so cool that you, yourself, saw and felt results! I have a lot of shoulder issues so, ill have to test the waters once I get one! |

My CuHorse just causes problems. Hubby doesn't like it when I won't share it and dog steals it everytime I get up. Horses only get to use it when hauled and stalled. I love that it keeps them cool.
I don't think Ocho read the website, but you have to pour him out of it. Sometimes he growls at me.

| I like the BOT & Pht. I just bought a Benefab blanket too, which has magnets and ceramic mesh material( we shall see how it goes) . Mostly I like BOT &PHT for tight muscles. I like the BOT at night and I love their leg wraps, have seen my horses stocked up legs go down all the way especially with the standing wraps. My bf has a bot long sleeve shirt though and said it just made him really warm that he didn't feel a huge difference in his back muscles (he has broken his back in the past). But he might have been saying that so I wouldn't buy any more leg wraps (horse obsession you know :) I'm willing to give anything a try if it helps performance. I don't believe that either blanket heal bleeders though lol I had to LOL at that. I know many bleeders that use PHT, and BOT (including 2 horses I own ) and it wouldn't be something that heals them from bleeding, but keeping their muscles nice and relaxed both blankets do a great job. Mostly just use them for sore or tired muscles, hauling long distances, keeping them warm at night. When norfields first came out my dad was one of their sales reps and I still have some leg wraps I use intermittently. I like norfields too . |
