When I bought the Equstreamz band, I expected my horse to wear it like a proud athlete in peak magnetic alignment. What I did not expect was him to eat it like it was a gourmet snack specially seasoned by science.
Naturally, I reached out to the company, and I must say—absolutely stellar customer service. No judgment, no “Your horse did what?” Just calm, helpful support from people who clearly understand that horses are majestic creatures... with the tastebuds of a Labrador. Luckily I was reassured even the magnetic parts are non-toxic - phew!
Impressed by their attitude (and now mildly addicted to magnet-based horse accessories), I decided to try the turnout strips to prevent future munching mishaps. A solid 50% success rate: they stay beautifully on the back legs. The front legs, however, were apparently just too conveniently located for a cheeky nibble. It’s like giving a toddler a sticker and telling them not to put it in their mouth. Pepper spray is the next and possibly only option.
On the bright side, the luminous strip is a game changer. When the inevitable happened and one band vanished into the paddock abyss, it was practically glowing like a beacon —and yes, the band was still attached to the turnout strip and fully functional. Not a scratch. Possibly slightly chewed, but hey, who am I to judge gourmet preferences?
Would I recommend? Absolutely. I really believe they are making a big difference, and with a fairly substantial stifle injury and a liability for a horse we’ve given them a pretty solid test. Would I trust my horse not to try and eat another one? Not a chance.
