Location: My own little world :) | Can someone tell me about their experience with the MagnaCu stifle wraps? I am really interested in getting a pair. What conditions do they help the most with? What were some of the improvements you noticed? Where there any downsides to the product etc...?? Thanks. |

I bought some for my son's gelding that has sticky stifles. He's 14 and as he is losing his fat rolls that are on top of fat rolls, he gets better. I haven't actually used them yet though. I bought them at the end of summer and he is out to pasture most of the time now. So I am curious what others say. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I've been using them since late January, I think it was. They work! My horse had inflammation disappear that I didn't even realize he had. He got sore in his stifles from bad shoeing a couple of years ago and had to have PRP. Since then, he's had some issues with getting sticky stifles, and they will hang up occasionally, most often if he's tired or he's had several days off. When I'm using the MagnaCu stifle wraps regularly, he doesn't catch, lopes smoother, and doesn't miss leads.
Caveat: it took me a few days to get the hang of putting them on correctly, and my horse knows how to get them off. Most of the time he leaves them on now, I think he figured out they feel good. |

Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | I, of course, love my stifle wraps and so do my horses. I don't have any pre exisiting conditions but I know they are helping keep my horses healthy.
I had a customer come up to me this weekend and say she can tell her horse fires harder when she uses her stifle wraps. Pretty promising of the product!

This is what I was hoping to hear. The neighbor that offered us the horse is a rancher and had no idea what this horse's hang up was. He was such a good fit with my son that we decided to take a gamble and buy him with this stifle deal. How often do you leave them on? Just before a ride or after or every day? He is usually out to pasture all night and brought in the corral during the day in the summer. So leaving them on all the time is going to be impossible.

I put them on in the morning when I feed, and leave them 2-3 hours until I ride or turn him back out. He also wears them in the trailer. |

| Lately we haven't been using them as stifle wraps. We got a new gelding that developed a capped elbow. It got pretty bad. We used the stifle wraps as elbow and forearm wraps instead. We had only been wrapping the foot for about a week and it was getting worse. After added the MagnaCu wraps, it has gone down significantly after a week and a half.
