Tried & Tested: Read Caitlin's Review of the Equilibrium Magnetic Chaps

Cost: £79.99

Tried & Tested by our loyal customer and product tester Caitlin & her veteran pony Quinn. 

The Equilibrium Magnetic Chaps were tested on Catlin's pony to alleviate inflammation and stiffness in his arthritic joints while stabled overnight. Additionally, they help maintain warmth in the legs and promote blood circulation to the hooves, reducing the risk of laminitis.

To my fellow owners of arthritic, laminitic or veteran horses- this one's for you!

My pony Quinn has decided that the stable is a no-go this year, meaning 24/7 turnout was our only option. Naturally, I was worried about how the cold and constant standing would affect his arthritis and laminitis. But thanks to Country & Stable and these Equilibrium Products magnetic chaps, those worries have disappeared!

Since using them, we’ve gone four months without a single flare-up and have even reduced his anti-inflammatory medication significantly. These chaps keep his legs warm while the Vitaflex magnets mould perfectly to his joints targeting his coffin and pastern for maximum relief.

They’ve helped reduce swelling, stiffness, and even minimized the risk of laminitis by improving blood flow - something I was especially concerned about with him being out in the elements full-time. Plus, they’re super easy to clean; after months of winter use, they still look good as new straight out of the wash!

I’ve tested them in every condition: frost, wind, drizzle, warm nights, you name it - and I can confidently say if you don’t have them yet, you need them!
