Will Magnetic Boots Help My Horse's Splint?Updated a month ago
Magnetic therapy boots can be a valuable tool for horse owners looking to support their horse’s recovery from splints, offering a practical way to ease discomfort and promote healing.
Splints occur when the ligaments connecting the splint bones to the cannon bone become irritated, often leading to inflammation, swelling, and pain. They can also form by direct trauma and overuse/concussion on hard ground. Other factors are conformation, poor foot balance and nutrition.
These boots use magnetic fields to enhance blood flow to the affected area, delivering more oxygen and nutrients while helping remove toxins—potentially speeding up the healing process.
Many horse owners report anecdotal success, especially when used alongside rest and veterinary treatments.
For optimal use, apply the boots after the initial acute phase to target the splint area, aiding rehabilitation and reducing soreness effectively.

Customer Reviews
Meet Willow Vale Golden Chaos, better known as Prince—a 5-year-old Welsh Section D stallion with a bright future ahead. With a great jump and a strong work ethic, he’s just starting his career. Like many young horses, Prince had his challenges, including a splint that developed before he was purchased at three years old.
Wanting a natural, non-invasive approach, his owner turned to Magnetix Pastern Wraps—and the results were impressive. Here’s what Prince’s owner Lorraine had to say about the experience:
“These are brilliant! Our stallion had a splint, and these shifted it. You have to be dedicated to leaving them on and looking after them—it won’t happen overnight, but it’s well worth it.
We started using them about two months after buying him as a 3-year-old. It was a long process, but you can’t rush these things. He wore them 24/7 unless riding, for about a year. I didn’t want to use anything abrasive—just a natural approach, and they did the trick! I also passed my experience on to a friend, and she had similar results."
