HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR HORSES LEGS

[@channingpaine7223]

Can you do a video on tack, and boots you use for reining for people who are interested in getting into reining.

[@christyb7590]

Heat can be healing. But I think it is wise to say that adding heat should only be done by well learned individuals. When in doubt, call your trainer or a vet. Matt is a professional of the highest level. He is qualified to make these decisions and give advice. I am not trying to be preachy but I feel it is very important to not make health decisions for your horse if you are not 100% sure and educated.

Cool product. Will check it out. And now I know how you keep your barn so clean too! That barn is probably cleaner than my house. Wait, what!? 🙃 ❣️🍀

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again MATT Interesting new product that sounds very helpful with timed supervision. Anything to keep those legs in good condition! Hooves too. No legs no feet no horse it's said. But no more truth then that!!!! Another good tip Matt. Surely enjoy all your tips. Thx as always for sharing.

When has trapping the heat in your horses legs ever been Sound Advice? Have you ever in your life heard a leg vet say trap the heat in your horses legs?

Smart Boots must be great for circulation they make a lot of horse sense to me.

[@mattmillsreining1]

They are a pierce to the puzzle...

[@brianwideman2342]

@@mattmillsreining1 There a gimmick. If the racehorse people aren't using them there's probably a good reason why!

[@mattmillsreining1]

Brian Wideman, well there you go. 😂😂. Makes a lot of sense

[@dianepeoples3902]

Hi Matt ,today I saw you on Yellowstone. I was shocked. You looked very professional. My question to you is was that one of your horses you were riding? Very handsome! Both horse and rider. Take care.

[@mattmillsreining1]

Haha! Yes that was my horse Tuff owned by Janice Dickson. That was a lot of fun to experience! 😎👊🏾〽️

Who do you guys use for a farrier at the ranch?

[@mattmillsreining1]

Arek Boulding

[@RommeleRanch]

Bone spavin on hind hocks is pretty common amongst reining horses right? How do you avoid that? Any tips?

[@mattmillsreining1]

Not sure there’s an answer to this. Any preventive care such as ice and rest.

[@carmenaston3492]

Hi matt what is your opinion on the classic equine legacy boots

[@mattmillsreining1]

Great product that I use

[@brianwideman2342]

I would invite all of you to go and walk through the stables at Churchill Downs and tell me how many Smart boots you see on horses legs. The racing industry are the leaders in leg care for horses if they're not doing it there's a sound reason why.

[@mattmillsreining1]

Thanks for the invite! Have a great weekend! 🔥🤙🏾

Looks like my Bigly

[@sandyelliott3350]

I thought heat wasn't good for a horses tendons and ligaments.

[@nerrrrrrrrr]

During exercise heat increases the "stretch" in tendons and ligaments...this can lead to over stretching of the tendons which can cause a strain. In rest, after work, like being used here the increase in heat can help blood flow, reduce inflammation, arthritis etc which is helpful. So yes you are right, depends what heat and when!

[@eileenmcnutt9159]

I thought you needed cold after a workout?

[@nerrrrrrrrr]

Its the same theory in humans recovery... ice then heat, so immediately after work it is common to cool the horses legs, them say later that day, during recovery a boot like this can be worn to help increase blood flow. The increase in circulation will help repair the area and remove any toxins/ lactic acid etc and increase oxygen to the area aiding recovery.

[@eileenmcnutt9159]

Those products are exactly like the Back on Track products. No difference. I would think there will be a law suit there. I have the wraps and mesh sheet. My equine chiropractor said the pad would keep in too much heat. Not a good idea.

[@mattmillsreining1]

Well you enjoy yours And I will enjoy mine. Have a great day! 😉.

[@brianwideman2342]

It's a gimmick product to sell to equestrians to make money, trapping heat in your horses legs is 100% bad advice.

[@brianwideman2342]

Smart boots are a straight up gimmick. There's a reason why we still use ice and poultice. Trapping the heat in your horse's legs is bad advice.

[@mattmillsreining1]

Brian, I use ice and poultice as well which I’ve demonstrated on past video. You are free to do as you please. I will tell you in my experience these boots DO work. Enjoy your day and thank you for taking the time to respond

[@brianwideman2342]

@@mattmillsreining1 mr. Mill's thank you for the polite response you're free to do as you please, I would only add if the racehorse Community isn't using these boots there's a sound reason why.
