TWISTING: If the boot twists or moves excessively, it may be too big or the outer cover may be loosely fastened. Simply insert hoof into boot.

The service from Hoofbootique was great as well. The fit kits and option to hire make it easy for you to get the right size. Remember that there is a break-in period like your own boots would be when you first get them. The first day the boots shouldn’t be worn for more than 20 minutes. You wouldn’t put on brand new boots and go walking for hours; treat your horse’s new boots as you would your own. You can speed up the break-in process by using leather softener or riding through water. Rehabilitation from injuries, abscesses, navicular disease, laminitis / founder, punctures, sole bruising and contracted heels Very pleased with the advice I have received about the Cavallo Trek hoof boots. Still on my 2nd week trial but it looks like I will be keeping the boots. My TB took to them really well and the fit is good. Pleased owner who is transitioning their horse to barefoot.S haped for the rounder hoof, Trek sole Hoof Boots, with their honeycomb design, maximize strength and minimize weight for the comfortable performance your horse deserves. The Cavallo Trek offers comfort for chronic pain or hoof sensitivity, and can aid rehabilitation from injuries, abscesses, navicular disease, laminitis / founder, punctures, sole bruising and contracted heels. I am totally delighted with these boots, my pony sometimes needs some protection on his front feet due to a variety of factors. I was unsure what type of boot I needed for him. This was mainly due to having brought a pair of boots from a hoof trimmer who thought the ones she sold me were a fit for purpose. However when I did try using them; they either came off or he didnt seem happy in them. I made the best decision ever, I got in touch with Liz at Hoof Boutique, took photos of my pony in and out of the boots; added all the relevant measurements, and got her recommendation to try Cavello Simple Boots size 2 normal fit. Well, the difference was astounding, they fitted perfectly, the pony was happy and comfortable = one very happy owner!

The Simple hoof boot is our multi-purpose hoof boot, excellent for:

I am very happy with the quality of this boot. When they say industrial strength Velcro, they are not kidding!! I chose the Trek because of the very stony terrain I ride over. I have not been using them for long but they have coped with the stones and the mud I have ridden through. I also like how they fit around the top. Happy pony means happy owner The Trek and ELB (Entry Level Boots) are the best choices for finer-boned horses. Both styles have a unique front-closure system that allows for an extra-snug fit on the upper portion of the boot – creating a very secure fit.

Cavallo’s Trek Sole Hoof Boot is the most flexible, durable, breathable and user friendly addition to the Cavallo hoof boot collection. It offers the same all-terrain hoof protection for the barefoot horse as Cavallo's other models, but with a new lightweight mesh upper. The new upper is also more breathable and flexible, tear-proof and machine washable! For those still “nervous” about making the shift to becoming ‘barefoot and booted’, and those who are already barefoot but require protection only on limited occasions, the ELB is the perfect solution. The ELB is also ideal for rehabilitation and therapeutic purposes. The ELB is made of 1680 count denier industrial grade nylon – the same material used on Cavallo’s Sport hoof boots. The replaceable Velcro closure extends the working life of the boot in the event of Velcro fatigue and is easy to fasten. The ELB is offered on both of Cavallo’s soles – the Regular sole, (length and width equal) and the Slim sole (width is ¼” or 5mm narrower than length). Both soles incorporate the unique, built in side drainage slots to drain mud, water and sand easily and will not clog up. Sold in singles. Measuring and Fitting your Cavallo Hoof Boots Cavallo Boots are SIMPLE to MEASURE The amount of grip will change if the surface is wet. Always consider safety for horse and rider regarding wet/dry surfaces.

ONCE THE BOOT IS FITTED, if the strap extends beyond the nylon keeper, then you can cut the strap to the preferred length, leaving a line of stitching to prevent unraveling. The Trek, ELB and Sport fit slightly differently around the upper, but the base/tread is the same as the Simple.

Measure the length from the heel buttress line to the toe. Do NOT include heel bulbs. (Refer to the diagram and video below) Like your own riding boots, it is recommended that time is taken to gradually break in your Cavallo Boots. If your horse has sensitive skin, or if you are going on a long ride and are concerned about potential rubbing, Cavallo Pastern Wraps are available. If your horse is fine boned and there is excess space between the pastern and the boot collar, wraps can also prevent major debris from entering the boot. Simple Fitting Tips: If the boot is rotating independently from the horse’s hoof it is too big. A wiggle is ok because the hoof expands in weight bearing and even further in movement. Measure the hoof length carefully just AFTER A FRESH TRIM. Do NOT include heel bulbs. We have allowed for growth between regular trims. The weight-bearing LENGTH indicates the size necessary. Take width measurements as well since that helps to confirm you have chosen the correct sizeWe use hoof boots successfully on our barefoot cob. Now we have got a 5 year old Connemara mare we have taken her front shoes off and she is breaking in and going well in her new Cavallo Treks. Excellent product. PLEASE NOTE: Boots cannot be exchanged if straps have been cut. Be sure boots are correct size BEFORE cutting.
