| what have all your experiences been with the PHT wraps? what kind of issues or injuries do they help with? do you use them for preventative maintenance?? i've been thinking about trying them for a while and I found some for sale for a great cheap price on FB so was thinking of giving them a shot..

Location: Beggs, OK | I have had amazing results with them. I had two on stall rest starting back in January and all the way through May. They only had their MagnaCu tendon wraps off long enough for me to wash them. The MagnaCu wraps are awesome for wrapping leg wounds as well. You can put the copper fabric directly against a wound as it is antimicrobial and stimulates healing as well. I use mine with standing bandages and they fit a horses leg really well. Mine have held up through more use in the first 6 months of this year than most people would use them in 2 years. |

Location: IL | I swear by mine! I used them through my Paint mares recovery from an injury I was originally told would end her career. She had really bad suspensory desmitis from the origin all the way down through the branches on both front legs from a shoer that didn't know what he was doing. Her suspensories were chronically inflamed from her angles being wrong.
She was on stall rest for a couple months and then began turnout in a small pen. The difference in her legs each week from her PHT leg wraps was incredible. I contribute a large part of her recovery to those wraps!!

Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | I became a Rep for PHT last year, after being a long time user (8 years) Oddly enough it never crossed my mind to get leg wraps for my mare that had a DDFT injury about 5 years ago, I thought her 'puffy' leg was just something she would always have since she got hurt. Other products kept it at bay sometimes. I got MagnaCu wraps as soon as they came out and in 8 Months her leg has not been puffy at all.....ever.
I am documenting progress on a knick my gelding got a week or so ago, I put the MagnaCu wraps on it and will be posting my pictures tomorrow! They are pretty awesome and really great to have on hand :)

Location: Beggs, OK | My most significant results came during the horrific feed ordeal back in January/February. I had one that had such an extreme reaction that his legs swelled to the point of seeping blood and the skin on his back ankles sloughed off. He had to be on stall rest and his hocks would swell and get hot. He had tendons exposed and needed bandage changes every day.
I kept trying to use my BOT hock boots to see if they would help, but they were rubbing sores. When my MagnaCu tendon wraps came in I bandaged his ankles lower that night instead of wrapping all the way up the cannon bone. I wrapped his legs with the MagnaCu wraps and the next morning his hocks were NORMAL size! I've never seen anything that could increase circulation so much that it could pull swelling from above a wrap. |

I have a question. . . My mare has very straight confirmation in her hind legs---post legged I think the vet said. She's 15 and was used very hard on barrels before we got her. Since then she was run a little by my son on barrels and a drill team, but she was mostly my trail/pleasure horse. Her fetlock is almost parallel to the ground, if that makes sense. I took her to a lameness vet Saturday, and he said there is so much stress on that tendon (and has been for a long time due to her confirmation and hard use and weak suspensory I believe he said) that to be fair to her, her riding days are over. And I'm ok with that---it makes me very sad of course, but I only want what's best for her. He took X-Rays, and it's not her joints, so injections won't help. It's all soft tissue. He gave me a poultice to put on it and I have her on Platinum CJ. My question is if y'all think the PHT tendon wraps would help? I simply want her to be comfortable and not hurt. Sorry for stealing the thread for a moment!!

The MagnaCu tendon wrap, wrapped with a knit standing wrap would most definitely help to keep her comfortable. |

I would be interested in seeing progress pictures. I have a gelding with a severe wound on his hind left fetlock/leg.....Was thinking of maybe getting a pair just for him to help speed up the healing process. |
