Product Information

Full details

The Cavallo Horse Sport Hoof Boot is designed for horse owners seeking a lightweight, breathable, and protective solution for barefoot horses during light riding, trailering, or rehabilitation. These boots excel at protecting hooves from conditions like laminitis, navicular disease, and sole bruising while encouraging natural blood circulation through proper expansion and contraction. While highly effective for regular hoof shapes, users should ensure they select the correct sole profile—Regular versus Slim—to guarantee a secure fit for their specific horse.

FAQs

How do I know if I need the Regular or Slim sole?

The Regular sole is for round hooves (length and width are equal), while the Slim sole is for hooves that are longer than they are wide.

Are these boots sold as a pair?

Yes, the Cavallo Sport Hoof Boots are sold in pairs.

Can these boots be worn for 24 hours a day?

They are designed for riding and limited turnout; it is recommended to remove them periodically to inspect the hoof and allow it to dry.

Can I use these boots on a shod horse?

These boots are specifically designed for barefoot horses; using them over metal shoes will significantly shorten the lifespan of the sole.

How do I measure my horse's hooves?

Measure the width across the bottom of the hoof and the length from the toe to the buttress line (the point where the heel meets the frog).

Troubleshooting

Boot twists on the hoof during riding

Check the sizing to ensure the boot is not too large; consider using a Cavallo Pastern Wrap for extra stability.

Difficulty securing Velcro

Clear any dirt or hair out of the Velcro hook-and-loop fabric using a stiff brush to ensure a strong grip.

Signs of chafing on the bulbs

Ensure the foam-filled collar is positioned correctly and consider using a soft protective gaiter for longer rides.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Lightweight design reduces fatigue for the horse
Promotes healthy hoof mechanism and blood flow
Highly effective for therapeutic use during injury rehabilitation
Easy to clean and maintain thanks to synthetic materials
Provides essential shock absorption on hard surfaces

Cons

Requires precise measurement to ensure correct sizing
Not suitable for extremely high-intensity work compared to specialized sport shoes
The Regular sole may not fit horses with narrow or oval-shaped hooves

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before fitting, ensure the hoof is clean and the horse is standing on a level surface. Measure the hoof length and width carefully to verify that the Regular sole is the correct match, as these are designed specifically for round hooves. To fasten, slide the hoof into the boot, secure the Velcro closures snugly, and ensure the back flap is centered over the bulb. For care, wash the boots with mild soap and water after use in muddy or sandy conditions. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to maintain the integrity of the nylon and leather materials.
