My good mare has a "curb" on her right hock. I bought MagnaCu 3in1s to have the versatility. I can't for the life of me get them to stay up. I finally just put a BOT quick wrap on under them tonight to keep it from sliding down the leg. I must be putting the magnacus' on wrong.

Mine too have slid down if I left them on in the stall. In the trailer wasn't so bad, but as soon as he started walking they were at his ankles. I read somewhere to try putting the velcro at an angle and it should help - if that makes sense. I haven't gotten around to trying it yet so if you do let me know how it goes.

Mine stay up fine. I get the top strap tight. You can't really pull it too tight bc it's hard to get it snug lol. Then the bottom two straps leave loose so the wrap can move when they walk. Like, I just put the velcro wheats the wrap kinda naturally wants to lay, very loose! I hauled 8 hours and they stayed on, and my horse wears his for 2-3 hours normally. I don't turn him out but he moves around.

Do you have something underneath them? If you put a wrap on their lower legs that does help. I know some people use some vet wrap sometimes also.
We do suggest not using any heat creating products along with the MagnaCu, since copper has cooling factors, and BOT uses ceramic fibers that reflects the bodies own heat, it starts two different things going on in your horse.
