As a lifelong lover of horses, Carole Herder’s journey into the world of equine well-being began with curiosity and a fresh perspective. Regarded as the initiator and spearhead of the barefoot movement, Carole’s compassionate and humane approach to hoof care led to a viable solution: Cavallo Hoof Boots. Today, the Cavallo community has donated over 1000 pairs of Cavallo Hoof Boots to horses in need, and the brand is cemented as the most popular manufacturer of Hoof Boots worldwide.
CAVALLO HOOF BOOT TECHNOLOGY
Other Features
TPU compound provides total hoof protection and abrasion resistance, integrated high density inner rim supports load-bearing hoof wall, relieving minimum pressure off sole, bars and frog, and built in drainage for water and mud.
Sole Features
Outside tread pattern supports the hoof wall, terrain tread minimises build up of mud, sand and debris, sole width the same as sole length, and excellent traction while still allowing natural movement.
Upper Features
Replaceable velcro closures, padded leather on inside bulb for extra comfort, absorb shock so your horses legs don’t need to, allows expansion and contraction with weight bearing and promoting nutritional blood circulation.
Why ARE CAVALLO BOOTS THE BEST?
Dr. Jennifer Gill and Gabriella Lynn of the Western Kentucky University Equine Science Department completed the first independent university study comparing hoof boots to traditional metal shoes.
They chose their preferred boots, Cavallo Trek Boots, for this study. The study focused on surface area, force, and pressure exerted on horse’s hooves while traveling on the hard surface of asphalt. Scientists used FujiFilm imaging to determine the amount of pressure felt in the horse’s hooves. This film procedure allowed the scientists to see dynamic pressure through colour mapping.
Results confirmed what those in the horse community have been witnessing since 2006. Cavallo Trek Boots benefit horses – by providing comfort, protection, shock absorption and minimising potential hoof damage.
