| Trying to decide to order BOT mesh sheets for my 2 horses. Do they really make a difference? I have BOT knee brace and back brace for me and really can’t see that they do much. I’ll do just about anything to help my horses feel comfortable but these products are pricey and don’t want to spend it if I can’t see that they do any good. |

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | i personally didnt have ANY luck with BOT. i switched over to PHT/MagnaCu and i love it and so do my horses. They work so much better and feel amazing. More expensive than the BOT but its SOOO worth it. |

Location: Lost in the swamps | I notice a difference in my horses stiffness using it after I was stuck at a show becuse of flooding In our area during a 2 day race. It was local so I normally trailer home for the night so the horses could be out and moving. But being stuck at the arena I had to stall. So I used it and noticed a big difference in the way my gelding moved and warmed up!! I also had a ddft strain that I used the bot on after icing for a few days. Vet loved the results and what she normally sees heals in 8 weeks we saw it was completely healed at the 5 week mark. I also see a big difference in fluid reduction. Only thing is I'm from the south and it's hot! So summer use can be a negative. |

| I stick to my PHT sheet just because I don’t have to worry about overheating. I splurged on it several years ago, it is one of the strictly magnetic ones, not the magnacu.
I plan to buy some BOT leg gear this weekend. I’ve borrowed a couple times when I’ve had to stall on concrete and I’ve noticed a difference in my gelding who usually gathers some fluid when he’s stalled.
I’m glad i splurged when I had the extra cash, but since I’ve seen it work I’m going to stick with BOT for now. |

Location: Michigan | I wear the BOT socks & noticed a huge difference. Even went as far to do some experiments with non BOT vs BOT socks, etc. The quick wraps make a huge difference with stocking up, swellings, etc. |

| I can tell a big difference with the saddle pad liner. My horse’s Back is not sore after our work out and he warms up much faster and relaxes much sooner, too. |

| I think the magnetic sheets help...I have a couple of PHT mesh sheets that I use on my horses... I have a cold backed gelding that doesn't buck, etc if he has had the sheet on before I ride him. Although I try to use the sheets as much as possible, I do not leave them on at times when my horses lay down....I think laying on those big magnets would/could be very uncomfortable. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | I have the BOT hock wraps for my mare. I never really could tell definitively if they worked until just recently. I’ve always thought they helped. But since it’s been getting cold, my mare has been acting a little stiff. I throw the hock wraps on for and hour and she looks 100% more comfortable. |
