“After just 24 hours of wearing the Sox, the difference was very noticeable and after 48 hours the difference was remarkable. I just can't believe how good the Sox are. To say I am pleased is an understatement, they work on so many levels and I am genuinely gobsmacked 😃”
“Melody (Sheza German Melody) is my 20 year old quarter horse mare who I have been lucky enough to have in my life for the last 8 years. In all that time she has never been sick or lame and it came as a total shock a few weeks back when she came in from the field with a touch of mud fever, nothing serious but I opted to treat it with some gel I had been recommended just as a precaution ❤️
What followed was a cascade of worsening symptoms, soreness, skin irritation, lameness, bleeding, scabs, extensive swelling and an expensive vet call out and drugs/creams treatment (steroid drugs, antibiotics, steroid cream and antibiotic cream). She was not being fooled by any drugs in her feed and flat out refused to eat it, the steroid cream caused such a severe reaction I had to discontinue using it immediately and the antibiotic cream was tolerated for a couple of weeks before she started reacting to that too.
I stopped the creams and her sores improved some, so I turned her out in the daytime again and her legs flared up instantly like sunburn. I decided that it would be beneficial for her legs to be covered if she went out. My friend had lent me a pair of Silver Whinnys Sox to try and, if I am completely honest, I didn't really believe they would have much of an effect aside from stopping the UV a bit, and I knew I was going to have to put a fair chunk of preparation into getting her comfortable with ANY kind of boot/dressing/sock on her legs - 20 years of never having anything on them and being extremely sensitive and reactive when worried and about anything around her legs, would mean preparation was paramount.

“4 weeks with your amazing Sox. We have had problems since last summer. Thank you so much 😊” - @Stalldunder & Hilton K You are welcome! Glad to have helped make it a happy time at the barn again.
This is today 😀 Never give up. Silver Whinnys can change your life to happy at the barn.
''Melody was previously extremely sensitive with her back legs, she had never worn any kind of boot or leg wrap at any point in the last 20 years, and was very nervous of anything touching her back legs. Time and patience and it is totally possible to get your horse totally happy and content to have these Silver Whinny Sox put on. It's a lot easier than you expect it will be- I had doubts we would be able to do this.❤️''
