Product Information
Full details
The Cavallo Trek Hoof Boot is designed for equestrians seeking a lightweight, durable solution for horses requiring extra sole protection during rehabilitation or all-terrain riding. Its innovative honeycomb construction provides structural strength without adding unnecessary weight, making it an excellent choice for horses dealing with sensitivity, abscesses, or laminitis. While it offers superior comfort through its sole relief design, users should note that the boot is sold as a single unit, requiring careful measurement of the horse's hoof to ensure a proper fit before purchase.

FAQs
Is the Cavallo Trek sold in pairs?
No, the Cavallo Trek is sold as a single unit.
Can these boots be used for turnout?
Yes, they are designed to be durable enough for both riding and extended turnout periods.
Will these help with laminitis?
Many users find the sole relief design beneficial for horses with laminitis, but you should always consult your farrier or veterinarian for therapeutic advice.
How do I measure my horse for the right size?
Measure the length from the tip of the toe to the buttress line and the width at the widest part of the hoof.
Are the materials waterproof?
The boot uses waterproof thread and durable TPU materials, making it highly resistant to water, though the top opening is not sealed against water entry.
Can I use these on gravel paths?
Yes, the TPU outsole is specifically engineered to provide protection and traction on various terrains, including gravel.
Troubleshooting
Boot feels loose or rotates on the hoof
Check that the hoof measurements match the boot size; consider a slightly smaller size or a pad insert if there is too much interior space.
Heel bulb irritation
Verify that the back flap is properly positioned and consider using a soft hoof boot gaiter or protective wrap for additional cushioning.
Difficulty putting the boot on
Ensure the hoof is clean and dry; a properly trimmed hoof makes the fitting process significantly easier.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent traction on rough or uneven surfaces
- Protective back flap prevents heel bulb injury

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper performance, measure your horse's hoof length and width accurately; the Cavallo Trek performs best on hooves where these measurements are fairly equal. Ensure the boot is securely fastened according to the manufacturer's guidelines, checking that the back flap sits snugly against the heel bulbs without causing irritation.
Care instructions are straightforward: after use in mud or water, rinse the boot thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the TPU outsole for signs of excessive wear and check the rustproof metal hardware to ensure all fasteners remain secure.
