I have seen great results using the hock wraps before a ride. He has a little arthritis in the hocks, and I've noticed he warms up smoother if I have them on while I groom and saddle.
I also use the quick wraps in place of standing wraps when I stall at a race. They help prevent stocking up. :)

Use the quick wraps. I have seen results with speeding up recovery times with bruised soles, the most recent fence vs horse, and laminitis. Because it helps with circulation, and the lower limbs usually have poor circulation, I think it has been instrumental in speeding up recovery. I have not tried the blanket and probably won't, I think I'll go with magnets instead.

I have looked into the product but wanted to here real life stories :)
Why the magnets VS BOT?
I remember reading they sever two different purposes but can't quite remember.
I use magnet blankets now and see the difference with one of my horses but not the others per say.

I started using the quick wraps on my mare (she previously had a broken foot and was getting arthritis in it. I think it made a difference. But I really noticed a difference when I started using BOT. I have a long sleeve shirt and a dickey bib. They are the only reason I can sleep through the night without stiffness or pain in my neck and back and wake up feeling good. I have noticed it has helped relieve the pain from tennis elbow too.
Back on track.
