Is your horse feeling just a bit off in the front end? Maybe the movement under saddle isn’t quite right—something feels stiff, short, or out of rhythm. Whether it’s a subtle lameness or visible inflammation, the right support can make all the difference in your horse’s healing journey.
You’ve probably heard it before:
“Try a magnetic boot—it helps promote circulation and healing.”
“The vet recommended something to reduce swelling and inflammation.”
“This horse could really benefit from therapeutic support during recovery.”
A smart, science backed solution designed to assist with exactly that. Combining the power of magnets with conductive fabrics, these boots offer targeted support for the front legs, helping encourage blood flow, reduce inflammation, and speed up the recovery process.
In this blog, we’ll break down what makes these boots stand out, when to use them, and how they can benefit your horse’s performance and well being.
Magnetic Therapy vs. Ceramic Therapy
When it comes to therapeutic support for your horse, two of the most talked-about technologies are ceramic therapy and magnetic therapy. While both aim to improve circulation and promote healing, they work in very different ways.
Ceramic therapy reflects your horse’s own body heat back into the tissues as far infrared rays (FIR). These rays gently warm the muscles and soft tissue, increasing blood flow and promoting a soothing effect. It’s an excellent option for horses with chronic soreness or stiffness, especially during cold weather or before and after intense work.
Magnetic therapy works through the application of a magnetic field. When magnets are placed in direct contact with the body, they interact with the ions found in tissues, cells, and fluids—stimulating blood flow, aiding cellular function, and encouraging natural healing. The result?
-
Improved circulation
-
Vasodilation (widening of blood vessels)
-
Muscle relaxation
-
Reduction of swelling and fluid build-up (edema)
-
Decreased nerve sensitivity (less pain)
-
Fewer free radicals, which means reduced inflammation and a stronger immune response
While ceramic therapy increases blood flow by warming tissues, magnetic therapy offers a deeper biological response—targeting specific areas and supporting recovery on a cellular level. Magnets have long been used in both human and veterinary medicine to help correct imbalances in the body’s energy systems and support healing in a wide range of conditions.
So which one is best? That depends on your horse’s specific needs, but many riders find that combining both types of therapy offers comprehensive, all-around support.
What are LeMieux Conductive Magno Boots?
The LeMieux Conductive Magno Boots take magnetic therapy to the next level with advanced design and innovative materials. Unlike traditional magnetic boots that localize magnetic fields only where the magnets are placed, these boots feature a woven layer of steel fibers just beneath 18 powerful 2600-gauss magnets. This unique inner lining helps evenly distribute the magnetic field throughout the entire boot, ensuring that the whole leg benefits from the therapy, not just isolated spots.
This even distribution also reduces the risk of creating “hot spots” or areas of excessive stimulation. Rear mesh vents allow excess heat to escape, while the bamboo outer layer helps wick away moisture for added comfort and breathability.
Key Benefits:
- Prepares tendons and joints for exercise by increasing blood flow
- Supports recovery after intense work or fatigue
- Enhances oxygen delivery to tissues
- Aids in collagen and elastin production, critical for cell regeneration and healing
- Helps minimize concussion effects from hard ground or extreme exercise
- Versatile use: Can be worn on either front or hind legs
- Sold in pairs
