Customer Reviews for Barnsby Magnetic Crown Piece

Barnsby Magnetic Crown Piece

The revolutionary new Barnsby Magnetic Crown Piece has magnets incorporated directly into the leather that are positioned to affect the axis vertebrae at the top of the spine. These magnets work to relax excited or nervous horses (including young horses); assist the horse in building correct topline muscles; facilitate greater freedom of movement; help the horse remain soft in the mouth; encourage older or stiff horses to stretch more; relax horses who are trailered, stabled in a new environment or have tension related vices like stall walking. The crownpiece easily attaches to?a halter or bridle via Velcro loops. One size fits all. Brown or Black.

After 1 year with an OTTB, I have tried calming supplements with no real results. This item seems to really be making a difference. I have only been using it for a month, but my horse already seems more focused during training sessions or when lunging with the magnet on.

I have been using this product for the past several weeks on my young TB cross that is easily distracted. He seems more attentive and willing to work!

Purchased in hopes of helping my horse relax in poll. First ride with it was amazing, but subsequent rides I did not get the relaxation I had hoped for. Also, I don't like the velcro attachment straps. Seem a bit flimsy.

After trying several different things(calming/anxiety supplements, different turnout schedules, etc) to help my OTTB with his stall walking and sometimes "bizarre" behavior, I decided to try the Barnsby Magnetic Crown Piece. He wears it on his halter in turnout and in the trailer and I have ridden with it a few times as well. While I do not notice a change in the tension he has in his neck, he does seem much quieter in his stall and the trailer! He has virtually stopped stall walking in the two months he has been wearing this crown piece. I do not use it when I ride as I find it a bit bulky under his bridle, however, it does attach easily to all halters/bridles and holds up well even when he is turned out in it.

I don't use "training devices ' on my horses as I feel in most cases they are not necessary . however my T-B rescue {1 month off track }is possibly the most nosey horse I have ever met . I was hoping the crown piece would help him focus just a little bit when being worked . It has truly helpedas far as settling him and it has made his transistion to a normal life much easier on us both

Within the first week of using the magnetic crown piece, my horse's riding improved. He is 17 years old and looking better everytime that I ride him. I was praying for a long time to find something to help him. My dressage instructor said that he was to too tight in his pole. Then I went to the barnsby website and found the magnetic crown piece. I felt strongly in my spirit to get it. I began my quest to find it and here smartpak sold the piece. My prayers were answered. His pole is more relaxed and his jumping has greatly improved.

This product has helped my horse relax, it really works.
I would recommend this to anyone that has a nerves or spooky horse. However it must be put on right or it won't work.

Calm, Cool & Collected

My mare seriously should be diagnosed with ADD. Getting her to concentrate on me and not every blowing leaf, shadow and person walking by the outside of the ring is nearly impossible. She often sees monsters hiding in the flowers under the jumps. I've tried everything to get the spook out and get her more focused on her job. I saw this Barnsby Magnetic Crown Piece and decided to give it a try. I am happy to report that it really has made a difference. My mare is much more focused on the task at hand instead of everything else going on around us. We still have a bit of a spook at times, but it is much more manageable than normal. This crown piece is a permanent fixture on my schooling bridle!
