Abstract:
A magnetic equine hood for applying magnetic therapy to an equine neck, cervical vertebrae, atlas, axis, head, back, and shoulders is disclosed. A head portion shaped to substantially conform to an equine neck is attached to a neck portion defining a volume substantially conforming to an equine neck. Magnetic strips are strategically coupled to the neck portion to create magnetic fields radiating towards areas where therapeutic treatment is desired to increase circulation in those areas. For instance, magnetic strips may be detachably coupled to the neck portion on either side of a cervical vertebrae. Additionally, an optional atlas and axis magnetic strip can be detachably coupled in position along the equine neck to create a magnetic field radiating towards the equine atlas, axis, and poll. Moreover, the hood can be permanently or detachably coupled to an equine blanket that may also use magnetic therapy.
