When to use Cavallo Comfort Sleeves?

Cavallo Comfort Sleeves provide extra protection, cushioning, and comfort around the pastern of your horse. Here’s when and why they’re the perfect choice for your horse!

All-Day Comfort and Protection Cavallo Comfort Sleeves help prevent irritation during both short- and long-term boot use. The sleeves use their soft, jersey-knit material to create a protective layer between the boot and your horse’s pastern. Horses wearing hoof boots in stalls or during trailering benefit from this added cushion and support.

Barrier Against Dirt and Debris Cavallo Comfort Sleeves keep dirt and debris out of boots during turnout, keeping hooves clean and comfortable. Simply pull the sleeve over the hoof before fastening the Velcro and putting on Cavallo Hoof Boots. Please note: The jersey-knit material may absorb water. For wet or muddy conditions, use Cavallo Pastern Wraps instead to prevent moisture retention.

Ideal for Sensitive or Thin-Skinned Horses Cavallo Comfort Sleeves effectively protect your sensitive or thin-skinned horse from irritation by cushioning the pastern. In addition, they work seamlessly with the padded leather back of Cavallo Hoof Boots to prevent rubbing. Subsequently, this combination ensures maximum comfort, helping your horse stay happy and comfortable throughout the day.

Support During the Break-In Period Cavallo Comfort Sleeves reduce friction and ease the break-in process for new boots. They provide added cushioning, allowing horses to adjust comfortably to full-time boot wear or regular riding use.

Why Choose Cavallo Comfort Sleeves?

Cavallo Comfort Sleeves protect horses with sensitive skin or unique hoof shapes, offering a simple and secure fit. Their convenient one-size-fits-all design easily slips into standard Cavallo boots (sizes 0-6), optimizing your horse’s comfort. Furthermore, for minis wearing CLB “Cute Little Boots,” you can use a thick wool child-sized sock as an alternative for a snug fit.

Ideal for thin-skinned horses or those prone to irritation, Comfort Sleeves add an extra layer of protection. Horses wearing boots in stalls or during turnout stay comfortable longer, as the sleeves prevent rubbing and keep pasterns cushioned. Acting as a barrier, they also block dirt and debris from entering the boots, reducing the risk of irritation.

While Cavallo Hoof Boots feature padded leather backs for protection, Comfort Sleeves enhance cushioning, especially during the break-in period. Above all, Cavallo Sleeves help your horse transition smoothly to wearing boots and provide all-day comfort for sensitive or rehabilitating hooves.

Cattle Drives and Cavallos – the Best Combo!

“My Cavallo Simple Boots in size 0, along with the Comfort Sleeves, worked out PERFECTLY for the front feet of my Minna mule on the July 3 – 20 km cattle drive. Didn’t matter if I was going thru a bog, climbing up a cobblestone trail or galloping down the gravel road chasing after a calf that was trying to head home – the boots stayed on, didn’t impede movement and never caused rubs.

I’m hoping the rubber bottoms are hard enough to withstand long trail miles on the sharp rock of Arizona, because so far I’m really liking the simplicity of these boots a lot more than the “Brand B” that I used previously.”
