Navicular Soundness: How Cavallo Boots Can Restore Your Horse's Comfort & Mobility
Cavallo - The first Ever Riding Boot that Can Double as a Therapy Boot:
Since 2006, Cavallo Hoof Boot customers have enjoyed the peace of mind of having a dual-purpose hoof boot—a boot that can handle the toughest of trails yet do double duty as a highly effective therapy boot for Navicular Syndrome or ANY hoof ailment or emergency if ever needed. Having a pair of Cavallos in the barn lets horse owners sleep at night, knowing they’re prepared for anything!
Navicular Syndrome: Often Misunderstood
Navicular Disease, also known as Navicular Syndrome or Caudal Heel Pain, is a frequently diagnosed yet often misunderstood condition. Its symptoms emerge gradually, manifesting in subtle ways: pinned ears, tail swishing, reluctance to pick up the correct lead, an uneasy stance, or even tripping on uneven ground. Your horse may seem slightly off, but pinpointing the cause can be difficult. Signs such as shifting weight, an unwillingness to stand square, or reluctance to lift a hoof for the farrier should not be overlooked—they are early warnings of a deeper issue.
A Natural Solution for Hoof Pain & Injury
Conventional treatments often involve stall rest, modified exercise routines, anti-inflammatory medications, or bar shoes. While these methods may provide temporary relief, they do not address the root cause: restricted circulation and impaired hoof function. The best way to restore soundness and prevent further degeneration is to encourage natural movement and proper blood flow—which is exactly what Cavallo Hoof Boots are designed to do.
Why Cavallo Hoof Boots?
Cavallo Hoof Boots are more than just protection; they are an integral part of your horse’s healing process. Designed to support optimal hoof function, Cavallo Boots allow the hoof to expand, flex, and absorb shock naturally, reducing strain on tendons and ligaments. By facilitating unrestricted blood circulation, they promote healing and prevent further deterioration.
Beyond Navicular Syndrome, Cavallo Hoof Boots provide therapeutic relief for a variety of hoof ailments, including abscesses, laminitis, sole bruising, injuries, and overall hoof sensitivity.
Whether your horse is in recovery or in need of ongoing hoof protection, Cavallo Boots offer a practical and reliable solution.
Key Benefits of Cavallo Boots for Hoof Recovery:
- Shock Absorption – The slightly raised rim offsets pressure on tender soles, reducing pain and discomfort.
- Encourages Circulation – Cavallo Boot design promotes natural blood flow, essential for healing and hoof health.
- Reduces Strain on Ligaments & Tendons – Providing comfort and stability, they help prevent further stress on affected areas.
- Protection & Comfort – Offers an ideal transition from metal shoes to barefoot, minimizing sensitivity and supporting rehabilitation.
- Versatile & Practical – Suitable for turnout, trail riding, and rehabilitation, ensuring your horse stays active and comfortable.

Enhancing Comfort with Cavallo Pad Insoles
For horses requiring additional comfort and therapeutic support, Cavallo offers a range of hoof boot insole pads to complement hoof boots:
- Cavallo Gel Pads – Stimulate circulation and provide a massaging effect, ideal for horses with chronic hoof pain or in transition to barefoot.

Real Stories from Horses with Navicular:
"10 miles later, she was prancing home like a machine!"
“I want to share my day…cuz no doubt without my Cavallos, I’d not have gone more than a mile or two.
I’m in South Dakota, and we’ve had massive snow and ice, but now it’s mud and slop, and the fields are so drifted that it’s either muddy, rocky ground or nada.
Oh, my mare is also navicular! But 10 miles later, she was prancing home like a machine!! I love our boots with ice studs!!”
-Christine Kasowski Cernetisch
Mare Transitions to Barefoot & Heals from Navicular with Cavallos:
“Thank you for your advice on the studs. They’ve worked a treat! I also got her a new pair of your purple Trek Boots. My mare’s old, green ones are still in working order after a year of lots of use!
We both love Cavallos and they have helped so much in my mare’s transition to barefoot and rehabilitation from Navicular Syndrome. Can’t wait to show off her new boots to the world.” 😀
