What are your experiences with each of these pieces of equipment? If money wasn't an issue, which would you own and which do you see as pointless?

I personally don't use any of them, and have rehabbed many horses-horses with severe EPM, trauma, serious soreness issues.
I use massage therapy, memory release, magnets, and a few other 'tricks of the trade' I have learned over the years.

I like all of those!

Although, there is a IMO, a better and yet cheaper version of the Game Ready. Called VitaWrap I think. Check into that.

Big fan of BOT, I think for the money you get a lot. Most things that provide that much benefit are VERY expensive.

Maybe also look into a the Respond lasers. Although that may require some training to know how to use effeciently.

I currently have a Game Ready rental and will be evaluating it to determine if I want to purchase. I just looked up the unit mentioned by NorCalDressage, but it doesn't seem to have the same compression features as Game Ready.

Money is no object? A treadmill. Only $70K IIRC and they are somewhat portable.

A BNT I knew got one and it rocked. It could do handwalking. But better, it could do walking on an incline. The friend of mine who had her horse there swore he got fit but loose and supple from their program using the 10-degree setting.

I think competitive people don't do enough of the slow walking work it takes to create strong bones and ligaments. This is a way to do that preventative work on the cheap.... well, the easy anyway.
