Full details
The LeMieux Conductive Magnotherapy Rug is designed for horse owners seeking to enhance their horse's pre-exercise preparation and post-exercise recovery. It utilizes strategically placed 2600 gauss magnets to improve blood circulation and tissue oxygenation. A potential caveat is that magnetic therapy benefits can vary between individuals and are not a substitute for veterinary advice.

Troubleshooting
Rug does not fit securely
Adjust the 3-way belly straps to achieve a snug fit. Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse.
Horse appears uncomfortable
Ensure the rug is not too tight and that no magnetic areas are pressing uncomfortably. Remove the rug and consult a veterinarian if discomfort persists.
Reduced effectiveness over time
Ensure the rug is clean and properly cared for as per instructions. Check for any damage to the magnetic lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the rug is clean before first use. Position the rug onto the horse, aligning the magnetic placement areas with the corresponding anatomical points on the horse's body (shoulder, elbow, hip, stifle, second thigh, and along the spine). Secure the 3-way adjustable belly straps to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. The straps should be tight enough to keep the rug in place and ensure good contact, but not so tight as to restrict breathing or cause discomfort.
Compatibility: This rug is designed for use on horses. It can be used as a standalone therapy or in conjunction with other standard equine management practices. Always consult with a veterinarian or equine therapist regarding the suitability of magnetic therapy for your specific horse.
