Joan’s Advice for Horse Owners:

“I use the Trek boots over my horse's front shoes when I ride him. You'll want to get their "protection pad" which protects the boot from the shoe. I was able to use the boot over his winter borium with the protection pads. We don't…”

Cavallo – Hollywood’s Choice

Why does Hollywood horse handler Scarlet Walker only use Cavallo Hoof Boots on big jobs like the Beyoncé Bowl?

Scarlet, owner of Horses For Productions, booted Queen Beyoncé’s horse with Trek Boots for safety during the famous NFL Christmas Halftime Show!

From Scarlet: “I want to thank YOU for creating such a lovely boot. We really do love the boots, even prior to this event (we’ve used them a few years now), I’m always telling my horsie friends how great they are! And I’m sure you know, but your team is so great! They had all the boots sized perfectly and shipped fast! We’ve tried several other boot brands, but yours work the best. We have the option to use rubber horseshoes, but I feel much better with Cavallo Boots on!”

Best Dressed at the Oscars!


“What are you wearing?” has been a much-criticized question on the red carpet these days, but we found ourselves yelling it out when we watched the 2023 Oscars! Out trotted a lovely donkey at Jimmy Kimmel‘s side, wearing our Cavallo CLB (Cute Little Boots)!

This beautiful little donkey was actually a stand-in for Jenny and Rosie, who were the two Irish donkeys that starred in the film The Banshees of Inisherin. The film also stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson and received nine nominations at the award ceremony.

Hoof Boots Fit for a Queen!

Tom Lloyd, had the privilege of interviewing Queen Elizabeth II’s former Groom, Terry Pendry, on his Fell Pony Podcast.

Terry provided this incredible photo of Queen Elizabeth on her beloved pony, Carltonlima Emma, who’s wearing Cavallo Simple Hoof Boots. He also explained that, due to Emma’s old age, she could no longer wear metal shoes.

Tom himself also uses Cavallo Hoof Boots on his epic adventures, with great success: “I use Cavallo boots on one of my pack ponies, so I am very familiar with them. I actually tried several other brands, but the Cavallo Boots are the only ones which stand up to the hard trails and passes on our three and four-day treks.”

Ella Langley Keeps Her Footing on Set with Simple Boots

Wait… did you catch that?! 👀 Yep – that’s Ella Langley!

An excited customer shared the new American Eagle video ad featuring Ella Langley, and there’s a detail that’s hard to miss: the horse she’s riding is wearing Cavallo Hoof Boots! Seeing Simple boots appear in a major fashion campaign is a pretty exciting moment.

Ella is known to love horses, which raises an intriguing question…could that be her own horse in the ad?

It’s something to feel proud of: the same boots trusted on your horses are also chosen for big productions. From Beyoncé’s “Beyoncé Bowl” NFL Halftime performance to a mini horse in CLBs at the Oscars, professional horses in show business rely on Cavallos for safety and protection – and that speaks volumes.

WWE Wrestlers Love Cavallo “Booties”

How Cavallo CLB mini hoof boots end up starring in a Cash App ad with pro WWE wrestlers Ucey Jucey and Big E?

We found out the full story from Mary Rose at Honey’s Mini Therapy Adventures: “They contacted us and asked if we’d film a commercial. I, of course, said yes! I explained that Sprinkles would need to wear his CLB boots for the set. I would forego all gear except that!

So, they created the script, and I said, “Cavallo’s is gunna be THRILLED!” As you’re one of our long-term supporters, I couldn’t have imagined this script any better. Thanks again for your support for our program. We couldn’t do it without you!”

Cavallos Driving Around Disneyland!⁠

“My farrier went to Disneyland today (we are locals). And look who is wearing the Cavallos, no other than Chad, the draft horse pulling the Disneyland passenger group! ⁠

Have a blessed day, and thank you again for a great product.⁠”

Trek Makes Tracks in People Magazine!

What a thrill to see our boots featured in the People Magazine Special Edition celebrating Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter era! Flipping through those pages and spotting Beyoncé on a horse proudly sporting Cavallo Trek Boots feels like a dream come true for our small, passionate team!

This journey started with Beyoncé’s spectacular “Beyoncé Bowl” halftime show on Christmas Day, 2024. Just days before the show, the production team discovered the concrete ramps of the stadium were too slick for safe riding and reached out to Cavallo for help. Our team raced against the clock to get them boots in time — and they dazzled the crowd without a single slip! This article is proof that passion for horse welfare can shine all the way onto the world’s biggest stage!
