| Would like any opinions on what people prefer and why. Was looking into both of these and didn't know which way I wanted to go. Wanted to see what people thought of each. Thanks  |

| Personally....PHT all the way.
That being said, I don't know enough about Hidez. Personal opinion is that they are a gimmick. But people think same thing about PHT. I've used PHT on my horses and myself now for 3 years. Worth it's weight! |

Location: Heart of Texas | PHT if given the choice. IMO hidez would work if you could ride in them. Compression is meant to be used while working out or for specific injuries. |

Location: WI | I have a MagnaCU blanket, have not tried the Hidez. They do intrigue me, though - especially the ice socks! But with my PHT and BOT, it's like 'how many gosh darn therapy blankets do I need?!?' lol, I have a problem.
I saw an ad on this site I think where a girl was running in the suit, so I guess it can be done! |

| Linds.... lol I have the BOT quick wrap boots...but I don't have the blanket. I used the PHT blanket once at a show and it seemed to really help. But I have seen on facebook a lot of people liking the Hidez. I decided I'm not getting both. It's one or the other. I've seen a lot of the girls using the hidez face mask and running in them and really like them. LOL I don't want to fall for gimmicks either. |

Location: You never know where I will show up...... | I have used PHT since 2003 and been very happy with all of their products. I really like the new line of MagnaCu & CuHorse products. I know how good TommieCopper makes me feel, so I figure it is probably working on my horses too.
I am slowly but surely building a collection of the new PHT copper products. I used a MagnaCu sheet & CuHorse bellboots & leg wraps on our futurity horse all this year (Three Tymes A Lady) and she won one futurity and placed at every other futurity we entered her at all summer & fall long, winning over $20,000. She hauled great and was always super relaxed in her stall and feeling great.
I have never used Hidez so I don't have an opinion or experience with those products to share.

The easier a product is to use, the more it will be used.

HIdez doesn't catch my attention at all. I do have to say though I am for sure going to purchase those ice leg wraps. Can't remember what they were called but I do LOVE the look and concept of it. Other than that I'd sick w PHT blanket!  |

I agree with this. When I am at shows and have several horses to take care of by myself, I like the fact that the PHT products are easy to put on and use. And I don't have to worry about leaving them on too long, or the horses getting too hot underneath them. I can just put them on and be worry free until it's time to get the horses ready for my next runs. |

| I personally have used PHT, BOT and Hidez. I feel like every horse is different, I have a horse that I see a bigger difference in BOT then PHT and another one that seems to do better in PHT over BOT but every horse I put the Hidez on loves it, they relax immediately and it isn't hard to put on if you get the correct size for your horse!
For me I only use the Hidez when I haul, before and after I run and use PHT/BOT while they are stalled etc.
if you do look into Hidez I used www.equihidez.com and she answered all my questions and helped me with sizing!
I have Hidez suit and ordering Ice socks
BOT Blanket, Quick wraps, Hock wraps
PHT Magnacu Blanket, Quick wraps, Poll Pack and Bell Boots |

Give me a shout if you have any questions or need help placing an order. We are taking pre-orders now for the next round of black sheets as well as the new Red MagnaCu sheets. They'll be available by order only, they won't go into PHT inventory. |
