Cavallo BFB Big Foot Draft Horse Hoof Boots for winter ranch work and farming

BFBs for Winter Ranch Work

"We bought our first draft horse size Cavallo Boots a year ago, and we just love them. We feed our Cows in the winter time with a team of horses, but when it got icy, we couldn't use them. Now we just screw four spikes (Cavallo Boot Studs) into the boots and the horses go across ice no problem. I figure it takes me roughly one minute per boot to put on. When we go on gravel a long ways, we put them on as well. You guys have great service, too. Cavallo Boots it is!!!!"

I have to say I am so happy with these boots!

“"An added super bonus – they double as snow & ice boots! While all the other horses are stuck in the barn because their feet ball up – my horse can go out and run and play without slipping! Will definitely buy another pair if these ones ever wear out.

A few months later... Cavallo comes to the rescue again for my mare's back feet. She is not shod on the backs and because of Covid, I have been riding much more often on the trails. A combo of that and warmer wet weather, she completely wore her feet down and became so sore. Cavallo was a GAME CHANGER. I never thought to use them on her backs but now I will and will go on more gravelly trails rides."”

Added Support for Horses with Ringbone!

"I love these boots. I have one horse with ringbone which has front shoes all year.

I put front Cavallo boots right over the shoes for very rocky areas to give him more protection and use to prevent snow build up during snow storms. It really helps him. Plus I use Cavallo boots on my barefoot horse during rocky trails. These boots are amazing. I couldn’t be happier!"

High-Level Dressage Rider Depends on Cavallo Boots

“I’ve used Cavallo hoof boots for over 9 years, and have used them on a wide variety of horses from my traditional Gypsy ‘dressage cob’, Highland and Welsh Ponies, Thoroughbred and Warmbloods. I have never had any issues with them falling off or rubbing (unlike other boots I had previously tried) and we often have long adventures over and through a range of different terrains. This includes my advanced dressage horses, who have both been barefoot while in full competition work, but always wear their Cavallo hoof boots when hacking out.

I also used the boots when my Cob had Laminitis, as they really helped him to feel more comfortable, and even now when the ground is frozen and rutted, he wears his boots in the field to keep him comfortable. Along with the range of Cavallo accessories, I can always be sure to get the perfect fit and level of comfort for each of my horses.”

The Cavallo Guarantee

The Cavallo Stud Application Kit contains Cavallo Hoof Boot Studs and the Application Tool. Cavallo Hoof Boot Studs provide your horse with better traction in slippery conditions such as ice, mud and snow. The tool fits right into the end of your drill to make installing your studs quick and easy. Price includes 12 studs (enough for one pair of boots) and the new, improved application tool. Please note: For LEB (Long Ear Donkey Boots), we recommend 4 studs per boot for optimal traction and performance.

When your studs are no longer required, simply put your drill in reverse to remove them until next time.

Installation is Easy – Just Ask Greg:

Pre-drill 1/8-inch locator holes with a 3/16-inch drill bit. Lock the stud into position on the end of the NEW AND IMPROVED tool. Position the end of the stud tread over the drilled hole and slowly drill the stud into the sole tread until the base of the stud head touches the sole. Install 6 studs into the sole of each hoof boot.

Please note: For LEB (Long Ear Donkey Boots), we recommend 4 studs per boot for optimal traction and performance.

IT’S THAT SIMPLE! Watch Greg’s demonstration below:

Inherent with ice, snow and mud are a variety of slippery conditions. When riding, please use cautionary judgment for your safety, your horse’s, and others around you. You should know how your horse will react to being ridden in these types of conditions. Always be cautious when making the decision to go for a snowy ride to ensure everyone gets through the winter safely without injury and can look forward to enjoying the warm sunny rides in the months ahead.

Be sure your boots fit well before trying them with studs. Legs, hoofs, pasterns and coronets can be destroyed by the use of studs. Be diligent. Be careful. Do not use studs on one boot and not the other. Horses need balance. Do not turn horses out with studded boots on. Playing around can tear up their legs. And keep yourself out of the way, too. Getting stepped on by a studded hoof is not pleasant. If you are drilling into older boots, please ensure that the stud tread does not extend past the sole of the boot. Boots that are worn down may have a thinner sole, and the placement of studs becomes very important. Please use your own thoughtfulness and best judgment. Always be aware that you have studs in the boots and do not ride in them when they aren’t needed.

Things to keep in mind about Cavallo Hoof Boot Studs:

Make sure your boots fit well and your horse is acclimated to wearing them before you apply studs
Always apply studs to both boots for proper balance
Do not turn horses out wearing studded boots. A frolicking horse can injure himself and others with studded boots.
When drilling, make sure the stud does not extend past the sole of the foot. This can especially be a problem on older boots with worn soles.
Use caution when installing studs in used boots, as the sole tread is thinner than when new. Studs may penetrate through older well-worn soles.
Always use your best judgment when going out for a ride in slippery conditions. Hoof boots provide extra traction, but they do have their limits!

Cavallo hoof boots in snowy mountains enhance horse traction and protection, ideal for winter equine adventures.

Potential Hydrolysis effect on Cavallo soles

Cavallo Hoof Boot soles are molded in industrial grade TPU (Thermoplastic Urethane). Under certain conditions, this compound may be vulnerable to a chemical reaction known as Hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a bond breakdown which may occur at least 2 years after production. This happens only when boots are stored in unfavorable conditions and not being used. Hydrolysis may be avoided by ensuring good air ventilation and avoiding humidity over 70%. Keep the storage environment cool and dry with good air circulation. A combination of temperatures as high as 40 Degree Celsius with high moisture content, should be avoided.
Hoof boots that are frequently used in very wet conditions should be allowed to dry before storage and should not be stored in the original box or in areas of poor air circulation. Follow these instructions and your hoof boots will last free of Hydrolysis for many years.
