Abstract
An apparatus for applying magnetic therapy to a horse's foot. A bottom panel is shaped consistent with the shape of an equine foot. A side wall is coupled along one edge to the bottom panel. A heel flap extends from the bottom panel and may rotate relative thereto such that the heel flap covers the heels of the foot when worn. At least one of, and preferably all of, the heel flap, the bottom panel, and the side wall contain magnetic material, which creates a magnetic field that acts on the foot when the apparatus is worn.
