How Did Beyoncé End Up Using Cavallos for the NFL Halftime Show?

By Sandra Thomas, Coast Reporter

It’s a story even the creatives over at Netflix couldn’t have imagined.

It was just days before Christmas, and the biggest pop star of the 21st century was set to hit the stage of the NFL 2024 Christmas Day Halftime Show, riding in on a horse to perform in what was to become one of the most viewed TV moments in history.

Problem was, the flooring was too slippery for the horses and the massive production was at risk.

That was until a small, family-owned business from Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast of B.C. stepped in to save the day.

Four or five days before the show, Cavallo received a panicked email from Scarlet Walker of Hollywood-based Horses for Productions, who said they needed help — and fast.

Scarlet asked, “Can you send me boots? We just did a rehearsal, and I signed a non-disclosure agreement, so I’m not allowed to say who the boots are for, but it’s for a MEGA pop star!”

Jennifer at Cavallo said, “Okay, we’ll do what we can!”

Turned out the production was the NFL 2024 Christmas Day Halftime Show on Netflix, also dubbed the ‘Beyoncé Bowl’, which took place at the NRG Stadium in Houston, The football game was between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. Not including worldwide viewing, the U.S. viewership alone for Beyoncé’s performance was more than 27 million.

Walker told Cavallo that during the rehearsal, they had tried to walk through the stadium with the horses. But everyone was worried because the floor and felt rug was very slippery.

The team at Cavallo knew it was going to be a rush to get the boots to Houston, so they stepped into high gear! Cavallo’s amazing Yvonne Welz was brought in to do the sizing, using only the hoof photos Walker sent in, while employee Rachel Long helped fill the order. Meanwhile, this was all unfolding while Relations Coordinator Jennifer Mundell was out of the office in Squamish for her dog’s rehabilitation appointment.

Jennifer was multi-tasking: “So there I was, in the vet office, in an appointment with my dog, texting, trying to get all these boots arranged. And it was just so chaotic,” said Mundell. “But we somehow all worked together and got the order in!”

Then, she says, all everyone could do was wait anxiously to see if the boots would make it in time.

Scarlet said that at the eleventh hour they were stressing…and then the FedEx van came rolling in! They opened up the parcels and the best thing was that there were seven horses needing boots, and sizing can be a challenge because all horses are so different. But Yvonne is so skilled at sizing that all seven horses fit their boots. This was a big win!

The rest, as they say, is history, and the boots were used in a performance some are calling bigger than any Super Bowl Halftime Show.

In a comment on a Cavallo Facebook post, Scarlet wrote, “We ended up using front boots for the main horses as we had to stand around for 10 hours. The ground was extremely slippery and dangerous, and I am happy to report not one single horse slipped! Again, I appreciate you all for getting them to us so fast; they truly are the best, and so many people complimented how great they looked while on set!”

How Did a Donkey at the Oscars Make this All Possible?

This is not the first time our Cavallo Hoof Boots have been used in a major TV production. During the 2023 Academy Awards show in Hollywood, host Jimmy Kimmel walked on stage leading a miniature donkey while speaking about The Banshees of Inisherin film, which was nominated for multiple awards and starred a similar-looking donkey named “Jenny.”

As soon as we all saw a photo of the donkey, we knew it was wearing Cavallo CLB Mini Hoof Boots, so Jennifer at Cavallo made a Facebook post that went a bit viral, in an attempt to find out who booted that donkey! Turned out, Scarlet Walker had been a long-time fan of the boots and had chosen to use them at the Oscars.

Scarlet got in touch with Jennifer, and it turned out she’d been using Cavallo Hoof Boots for over 10 years and said using them on the Oscar stage was just a no-brainer. The stage was really slick, and they had to have some boots on the little donkey for traction. Since then, Scarlet and Jennifer stayed in touch, so when Scarlet needed Cavallo Hoof Boots in a hurry, she knew who to call!

“We were not guaranteed that the boots would even show up in the production, we were just hoping that they would,” said Jennifer. “And then when we watched the halftime show, we were all like, ‘Oh my God!’ If you look at when Beyoncé comes around the corner on the horse, and all the people are standing on the horses and observing her coming through, even a few of those horses have Cavallo Boots on as well. It was pretty exciting.”

From Queen "E" to Queen "B"!

Queen Elizabeth was known for her deep affection for her Fell Pony, Emma, and her dedication to ensuring Emma’s comfort and well-being.

Among the many ways she cared for her beloved pony, one of her key choices was outfitting Emma with Cavallo Hoof Boots. Known for their durability and support, Cavallo Simple Boots were the perfect choice for a royal steed like Emma, providing both protection and freedom for her daily rides through any terrain of the royal estates.

Similarly, pop icon Beyoncé, a queen in her own right, was spotted on a Cavallo Trek-booted horse in the Beyoncé Bowl production. For both queens—whether in the realm of royalty or pop culture— Cavallo Hoof Boots offered performance and elegance, fit for a true royal equine companion.

Cavallo Hoof Boots were created in the early 1990s by myself and CEO Greg Giles. I was thrilled to see our Cavallo Trek Hoof Boots stepping into the global spotlight, providing the ultimate blend of safety, style, and comfort for both Beyoncé and her equine partner!
