Cavallo Hoof Boots for Therapy and Rehabilitation during Laminitis, Navicular, and more
Cavallo Hoof Boots for Therapy and Rehabilitation provide immediate relief for horses recovering from hoof conditions such as laminitis, founder, thin soles, navicular syndrome, abscesses, and arthritis. Engineered to reduce pressure, absorb shock, and enhance circulation, they support the entire hoof structure for faster healing and lasting comfort. With protective cushioning to ease pain and concussion-related issues, Cavallo Hoof Boots offer reliable support for both barefoot and shod horses. Their superior stability on all surfaces—including uneven and rocky terrain—makes them the #1 choice for therapy, rehabilitation, and overall hoof health.

Immediate Pain Relief for Rehabilitation
Cavallo Hoof Boots are designed to provide immediate pain relief for horses recovering from laminitis, founder, navicular disease, abscesses, thin soles, arthritis, and other hoof conditions. Their unique built-in sole relief system supports the entire hoof structure while relieving excess pressure on the sole. This helps alleviate pressure points and evenly distribute weight for greater comfort and stability.
Movement is essential for healing, as it improves circulation, encourages hoof expansion, and enhances oxygenation—all crucial for hoof recovery. However, many horses with hoof pain hesitate to move due to discomfort. Cavallo Hoof Boots provide the protection and support needed to restore confidence in movement. The advanced shock-absorbing soles cushion every step, reducing concussion and shielding sensitive hooves from further damage. This keeps horses active and helps prevent issues associated with stagnation, such as stiffness, poor circulation, and further hoof deterioration.
Cavallo Hoof Boots for Therapy and Rehabilitation allow horses to walk, trot, and move more freely without the constant anticipation of pain. Unlike bulky, cumbersome alternatives, these boots are designed for both rehabilitation and everyday turnout, meaning horses can run in the field without the worry of broken boots or oversized closures. Whether your horse is barefoot or shod, Cavallo Hoof Boots provide a secure, non-restrictive fit that adapts to all terrain, ensuring durability and ease of use.
By delivering exceptional comfort, protection, and stability, Cavallo Hoof Boots help horses regain their stride with confidence. Whether used for rehabilitation, therapy, or daily riding, they offer long-term support to enhance overall hoof health and well-being.


Using Cavallo Hoof Boots for Therapeutic Recovery
The awesome part about Cavallo Hoof Boots is they can be used as-is for use in emergency and rehabilitation situations! Use the same Cavallo Hoof Boot you use for riding to treat an abbcess, or for long-term support with laminitis, founder, and navicular disease.
Can you use a single boot?
While temping if you are only treating a single hoof, always use boots in pairs to maintain your horse’s balance and posture. We wouldn’t want to walk around in one boot, and neither do they! If you are treating a shod horse who has lost a shoe, it is appropriate to only use one boot, as the shoe makes up for the height on the other hoof.
Should I use pads inside the boots?
If you are using Cavallo boots for thereaputic or rehabilitatvie use, then using pads/insoles is alwasy recommned. Cavallo carries a wide range of pads to suit your needs, and all of our pads will add additional cushion, shock absorbtion, and comfort to your horse while recovering.
Cavallo Hoof Boot Care and Usage Tips for Rehabilitation
1. How Long Can Your Horse Wear Cavallo Hoof Boots?
Cavallo Hoof Boots can be worn full-time or part-time, depending on your horse’s condition. For rehabilitation, they can be worn all day, including during turnout or light exercise. Start with limited wear time and gradually increase as your horse gets more comfortable. Check for signs of irritation, especially with extended wear, and always use pastern protection for full-time use.
2. Proper Care and Maintenance During Recovery
To ensure optimal support during recovery, clean your Cavallo Hoof Boots regularly and check the fit. Dirt or debris can affect their function, so clean them after each use. Inspect for wear, like worn soles or loose straps, and make necessary adjustments. If you’re using pads inside the boots, check that they remain in place and stay clean. Cavallo recommends using a 50/50 mix of ACV and water as a daily antibacterial treatment to prevent thrush and white line disease, easily sprayed onto your horse’s hoof.
3. When to Consult a Veterinarian
Always consult your veterinarian as the first step in any recovery plan. While Cavallo Hoof Boots offer excellent support, monitor your horse’s recovery closely. If their condition worsens or doesn’t improve, reach out to your vet for guidance. They can adjust the treatment plan or check for any underlying issues that may require further care.


Which Cavallo Hoof Boot Style is Best For Therapy and Rehabilitation?
All Cavallo Hoof Boots are versatile and work well for therapy, turnout, and riding—from the mini-sized CLB to the draft-sized BFB. Among these, the Cavallo Trek Boot stands out as the top Cavallo Hoof Boot for therapy, rehabilitation, and turnout. Renowned as the world’s toughest trail boot, the Trek also excels in hoof recovery and support!
Cavallo Trek Boots combine comfort and durability with a soft, flexible upper. Crafted from the same tough TPU (Thermoplastic Urethane) material as the sole, they deliver strength, pliability, and breathability in a lightweight design. This durability makes Trek Boots perfect for full-time use on any terrain.
Trek Boots resist water, staying light, breathable, and quick-drying, even in wet conditions. Key features include a soft padded collar for pastern comfort and a padded leather heel that molds to your horse’s heel bulbs, ensuring a secure, custom fit.
Cavallo Hoof Boot Break-In Period
To properly break in your Cavallo Hoof Boots, begin with 15 minutes on day one, gradually increasing the wear time by 15 minutes each day if no irritation occurs, until the boots mold comfortably to your horse’s heels. In emergencies, it may be necessary to skip the recommended break-in period. For full-time use, reduce friction by applying Cavallo Pastern Wraps, Cavallo Comfort Sleeves, or vet wrap.
Closely monitor your horse for signs of friction, such as redness or hair loss. If irritation occurs, pause use and ensure your horse’s pasterns are adequately protected. In conclusion, Full-time protection is essential for effective Laminitis Recovery with Cavallo Hoof Boots.

“As an Equine Podiatrist working in the UK, I frequently recommend Cavallo hoof boots for horses recovering from laminitis. They are easy to put on/take off and take a thick foam pad for sole protection nicely. I’m known professionally as Vikki Fear DEP MEPA and am a member of The Equine Podiatry Association (UK). Here’s a picture of my handsome boy in his green Treks, and some following photos of fitting pads to the boots.”

Cavallo Hoof Boots for Therapy and Rehabilitation during Puncture Wound Recovery!
“Hello,
My name is Dominica and this is my horse Flyer. We want to thank you for making such wonderful boots! I have seen other people who were recommended by their farrier to get boots that bought other brands and had soooo many problems. Flyer is currently recovering from a puncture on the bottom of his hoof. He’s very sore and it’s taken a while to recover enough to be cleared go outside again.
When I was told he needed a boot I immediately bought one of your boots. He wore it out for the first time the day before yesterday and it made all the difference in the world. It’s protecting his foot while it heals, he can run and move in it (well as much as a lame horse can run) and it stays in place and doesn’t twist or come off. I’m soo happy with this boot and it dose the job perfectly. Thank you for making amazing boots to help my best friend be able to go outside and live a normal life while he recovers.
Today will be day three of full day turn out. Boot is on every day when I go check him (this is a miracle as this horse has at least 5 halters out in the field somewhere). It never slips or turns. Hes walking better everyday. Im so pleased. Your boots really did make all the difference. I hope this story can help others because I wouldn’t recommend any other boot. Yours are the best!
Many thanks from us both”
