BOOTED

Cavallos in Quicksand? Yup!

before he had an accident and passed away - after that I lost my nerve and hadn't been near a horse since. So I decided to get back into riding and started looking for a horse. I called up an old stables near where I used to live, and explained I was looking for an older horse to give me my confidence back - they remembered me and said to come along at the weekend to meet an older mare that they couldn't use in the trekking centre anymore

“Last summer I was riding with a friend on an asphalt trail. I had front Cavallo Hoof Boots on so my horse didn’t chip his hooves. It was hot out and we decided to take a side path down to the river to get them a drink. At the bank of the river, my gelding, Uno, suddenly sunk up to his belly in quicksand and rotted leaves! I quickly stepped off. After a few minutes of struggling, he was able to pull himself out. I thought for sure his boots would be gone, but no, there they were, still firmly attached! I couldn’t believe it! Thank you for making a great product!”

Thanks, Diane Colvin

. All this time spend alone was very depressing, watching TV shows on repeat and attending the odd interview.. It made me think back to 4yrs ago when I still had a horse and all the time I spent with him.

Uno, the gelding, that suddenly sunk up to his belly in quicksand

The best way to determine what size/style of Cavallo boot will best fit your horse is to measure each hoof from the buttress line to the toe (do not include the heel bulbs) and across the widest part of each hoof. Measuring right after a fresh trim is best.

The Cavallo Regular sole is made length and width equal and is a good fit for a round hoof while the Cavallo Slim sole is ¼ inch narrower than long and a better fit for a more oval shaped hoof. Please visit our measuring and fitting page for further information: https://cavallo-inc.com/measuring-and-fitting/.

If you would like to send us your horse’s hoof measurements, we would be happy to help you choose the best size and style. Please call Cavallo Customer Service at 1-877-818-0037 or email [email protected] .
