Why Use Cavallo Hoof Boots for Jumping?

Barefoot or Shod
Cavallo Hoof Boots are perfect for both barefoot and shod horses, offering versatile protection for jumping and showing. Their full-coverage sole provides extra traction and stability during take-off, landing, and turns. For shod horses, they prevent shoe loss and hoof injuries, while also helping to avoid overreach injuries during tight turns or challenging jumps.

Studs for Added Grip
Cavallo Studs can be added for extra grip, improving traction on slick or uneven surfaces. This boosts confidence, especially on challenging terrain. Installing Cavallo studs is simple, and they are easy to use. No more wrestling with mud-filled stud holes in your horse’s shoe!

Pads and Wraps for Custom Fit
Cavallo accessories like Pastern Wraps, Comfort Sleeves, and Hoof Boot Pads enhance comfort and provide a custom fit. These protect the pastern and heel bulbs, absorb impact, and support hooves during landings, making Cavallo boots ideal for jumping.

Versatile
Cavallo Hoof Boots are more than just for jumping. They are also great for trail riding, turnout, trailering, performance events, and rehabilitation. Their durable, flexible design adapts to various conditions, ensuring reliable performance whether in the arena or on rocky trails.

Cavallo Hoof Boots for Jumping: The Best Alternative to Horseshoes

Horseshoes are often considered essential for jumping due to the high physical demands placed on your horse. However, this is just not true! Many horses jump barefoot with great success — often performing better than with shoes. When horses need extra protection, Cavallo Hoof Boots offer an excellent alternative to steel horseshoes.

Cavallo Hoof Boots support your horse’s natural movement while providing comfort and protection during jumping. They shield hooves from hard or rocky ground and offer superior traction on slippery grass, ensuring your horse lands with confidence.

As Dr. Robert Bowker, DVM, explains in Horse & Rider (Feb. 2006):

“The blood in horses’ feet does much more than provide nutrients to hoof tissues. It also enables the unshod foot to function as a hydraulic system, in much the same way that gel-filled athletic shoes do. We need to be trimming hooves so that more of the back part of the foot — including the frog — bears the initial ground impact forces and weight. Horseshoes provide a much smaller surface area to absorb shock. So, if a bare hoof landing after a jump experiences, say, 1,000 pounds of loading per square foot, then with a traditional shoe, there’s going to be 2,000 pounds per square foot.”

Cavallo Hoof Boots work to distribute impact forces evenly across the hoof, preventing localized pressure and minimizing soreness. These boots also protect against uneven surfaces, ensuring your horse stays comfortable during outdoor jumps.

For jumping, Cavallo Hoof Boots offer a reliable, natural solution that enhances performance and protects your horse’s hooves better than traditional horseshoes.

The Science Behind Jumping in Cavallo Hoof Boots

An independent study by Western Kentucky University (WKU) confirmed that Cavallo Trek Hoof Boots provide superior protection, traction, and pressure reduction—key factors for jumping performance. Using FujiFilm imaging, researchers found that Cavallo Boots significantly decrease hoof pressure and increase surface contact with the ground compared to traditional steel horseshoes.

For jumping, this means better shock absorption on landing, reducing strain on the hooves and lower limbs. The increased surface contact enhances stability, allowing for more secure take-offs and landings. The thicker tread of Cavallo Boots provides excellent grip on a variety of surfaces, helping prevent slipping on grass or hard-packed footing.

By minimizing impact forces and improving traction, Cavallo Hoof Boots help horses jump with greater comfort and confidence, making them an excellent choice for equestrians who want to support their horse’s performance naturally.

Jumping in Cavallo Hoof Boots is No Problem!

“I’ve had my thoroughbred almost 6 years and, over this time, I tried a variety of shoes…both nailed and glue on types, as well as hearing different farrier and friends’ opinions on shoeing vs barefoot. I made the decision to try my horse barefoot in April, and soon after I purchased a pair of Cavallo Trek Hoof Boots. Well, it’s like night and day!

I never thought I’d see my horse happily running around the field barefoot, and see his hooves recover. In addition to being able to ride and even JUMP with the help of hoof boots! No more worrying if he will have a shoe on each day and missing out on plans due to loss of shoes, no more heartache and stress when he’d come limping towards me due to twisting a shoe or taking a chunk of hoof off in the process. No more calls on holiday to say he’s pulled another shoe and would need to arrange for a farrier, again. It has only been 4 months, but it has been complete bliss to see him get stronger and happier and be able to enjoy our time together and take on new challenges. So all I can say is thank you and I wish I’d tried the boots sooner!”
