| Can someone tell me why you would just get the CUHorse instead of the MagnaCU? Is the MagnaCu Stronger? I have a horse that seems extra sensitive with the MagnaCu so wondering if the Cu would be an option for him and why? Thanks!!!!!!! |

| The MagnaCu has copper infused material around the magnets; Cu is copper infused material only, no magnets.
I guess I would ask you to elaborate on the "sensitive" comment?
I use mostly MagnaCu with the exception of the Cu quilts for standing wraps or to use on wounds. I also like the Cu bells. |

| He gets jumpy when I first put it on...... in his hind end, and I didn't know if it was magnets or if that can even happen in that short of time?? or anytime I move the blanket after it has been on him like after hauling him to a barrel race..... |

| I am not sure I'd read much into that. Unless you think he's in distress or causing himself more stress having it on than not? Does his attitude change? or is he just kind of flighty? |

Location: 31 lengths farms | My little mare doesnt deal well with magnets so I bought her the CuHorse wraps. I got a pair of the old style 2 in 1 MagnaCu wraps for my gelding and have found that the mare can deal with the Magnets on those if I wrap the CuHorse wraps under them first. The CuHOrse quilts do a very nice job of helping with inflammation all by themselves however.

| He acts like it tickles, is kind of the best way I could describe it. I have had him to every vet in the surrounding states :) So I dunno if he is just being him, which he is a difficult horse.
I am thinking about trying my benefab blanket and seeing if I get the same response or not......
Interesting that your horse is sensitive to magnets, but I also could be making something out of nothing :)

Location: 31 lengths farms | I thought at first it was probably the cheap magnet blanket so borrowed a friends and had to save it too. She even did it with the bell boots. I'm guessing with the cu horse wrap under the magnacu wraps that it maybe just breaks the effect enough that she doesn't want to come out of her own skin. |

| Thank you for that, I was curious if maybe the magnets were too much, I am going to try something else and see and maybe just buy a CUHorse blanket and see if the copper bothers him, although I have enough dang blankets :) |

Location: North Dakota | I have a cuhorse stretch sheet if you are looking. I love it but I never get to use it to justify keeping it. I've only been to two runs this year and that's the only time I get to use it. :( I would sell for way under retail.. PM if interested.
I have the cuhorse copper only wraps and plan to get some cu bells. The copper only wraps keep my mare feeling fresh if she has to be stalled or can put them on over night in her dry lot after a workout. Will never be without those! I love the magnacu line but have found just as much success with the cuhorse line and it's more reasonable for me on a college student budget.

I think this has been explained to you by one of us, but for others readying this, I wanted to expand on this. Increased blood flow like your foot being asleep is most of the times what causes horses to react. It is a cummulative therapy, so the more you use it the better is works. So in your horse's case I would be using it more during the week and not just when on the trailer and headed out to a show.
We had a mare here last week with a fresh injury and swollen hock, she duck walked for about an hour of having the hock wraps on. After a little bit she had no futher reaction and wore them quietly for 5 days. Swelling was gone overnight.
