Equine TheraPlate & magnetic chaps.

[Yorkshire Coop]

Anyone tried the TheraPlate with good results? We are just embarking on a course for arthritis and general old age! We are also just starting out with magnetic stable chaps on a night. Anyone used these? Good results or should I have spent my money on something else? Any experience of these much appreciated, thank you

I have no experience with anything like this, but I would love to know your results.

My gelding is 27, I'm treating him with Pergolide for Cushing's syndrome (diagnosed early, good results so far) and arthritis. For each of the past three years I've given him a round of Adequan (seven shots given four days apart) and at his vet appointment a couple weeks ago, he was sounder than he has been in a long time!

I do still ride him (short sessions of low-impact walk-trot in the arena, just to keep his mind engaged) but if the therapy you're doing seems helpful, it sounds like something I might want to add.
