    Black Trek Muskeg mud testimonial -Sandra

    “I'm a long time Cavallo customer and promoter. This past weekend my Cavallos totally impressed me. We were riding in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies and covering a variety of terrain... Stones, grassland, water and mud. We came to a very wet and muddy section of the trail with logs laid across for footing. Dee didn't like the look of them and veered off to what looked like solid ground. Before I knew it, she was flailing in muskeg up to her belly. Eventually we got out right side up and no worse for the experience. To my amazement those Cavallos were still secure on her hooves!! I will never doubt them again and I'll tell everyone what a great asset they are on the trails. Outstanding product. Thank you."”

    “I decided during the Covid break to let all my horses go barefoot until I felt they needed shoes again. As time went by, I found there was little reason to return to shoes. My horses feel wonderful on footing, have no trouble with our grass and all-weather paddocks and, so far, all the jog strips have been rubber or footing. The only place I struggled with this decision was in the areas around the stabling at shows where there was primarily gravel and stones. These boots have been a godsend! The horses are now completely comfortable going to and from the ring on any footing. They are amazing! Horses are so confident on the gravel! Lots of people asking where to get them at the show this past weekend! They are also extremely comfortable in the gravel wash racks."
    I was so relieved to partner with Cavallo and to be able to maintain performing at this level of competition barefoot!!”

    Cavallo Saddle Pads - Cavallo Hoof Boots

    “What Kind of Horse Magic Have you Guys Come Across?"

    "I have been through an absolute TON of saddle pads trying to find something to work with my custom saddle (Five Star, Diamond Wool, Steele custom pad they recommended for their saddles, Reinsman and everything in between!). Nothing worked for my horse! As soon as I put the Cavallo Pad on him he was licking and chewing whereas before he looked uncomfortable and tense. The saddle was custom-ordered for him, so I knew it wasn’t the saddle fit before. I start and train all our horses, so to notice such a HUGE difference in a horse I have been riding since day one of his career under saddle! As soon as I got to riding him, his extension in his movements was unbelievable. He was actually floating! I didn’t know this horse was capable of moving like that! My husband (team roper) even commented on how McCoy was traveling. McCoy was one happy horse! I had to contact Krystle to order another one ASAP because I need a backup in my tack room. This is a must for me now after seeing and experiencing the difference in my horse. I don’t know what kind of horse magic you guys have come across but there is nothing in the saddle pad market that comes close to what you guys have created. Thank you!!”

    Can you jump in Cavallo hoof boots?

    “Her First Time Jumping Since she Had Laminitis"

    "Jumped for the first time in your hoof boots and was worried about it...but they were great! It was her first time jumping barefoot, and her first time jumping since she had Laminitis around 18 months ago. I’ve never actually jumped her before, she did a bit with her old owner 6+ years ago, but not a course, so it was actually a beginning." (Photo credit Chloe Hall at Dewsnap Equestrian)”

    Cavallo Trek Hoof Boots testimonial

    “I Wish I Could Have Known About these Boots Sooner!"

    "Hello, friendly folks at Cavallo! Here is a pic of my Arabian, Rilke, in his Cavallos. We are finally able to hit the trails in Northern Utah. Thanks for the emails especially the ones advertising sales. So excited to get out and ride and send a picture that I almost forgot the testimonial! My horse, Rilke, and I have enjoyed using Cavallo Hoof Boots. They are easy to put on, take off, and clean. I also use the insert pads to give him extra comfort. I love that I don't have to rely on having horseshoes to go out on hoof-chipping terrain. I wish I would have known about these boots sooner. My friends are impressed too!"

    BTW...I urge folks with Cavallos to let their friends' horses try their Cavallos on for size. I have callipers that I use to measure my horse's (and friend's horses) hooves. Thanks again!”

    “I Thought We Wouldn't be Able to Ride All Summer..."

    "My Thoroughbred has very poor quality hind feet that are unable to hold shoes. Due to how tough the ground is where we live (welsh coastline), I thought we wouldn't be able to ride all Summer. But the Trek Hoof Boots have been perfect so far! He seems very comfortable and I'm even thinking of transitioning his fronts in the future to a full set."”

    “Would Purchase Anything from Cavallo..."

    "I am very satisfied with how Cavallo stands behind their products! I had a rare defect in one of my horse's boots and they expedited a new pair to me so I would have them for a ride I was going on the following weekend! They also sent me some extra goodies for my troubles. Very excellent customer service and would purchase anything from them for that reason!"”

    “ABOVE & BEYOND Customer Service

    "I have to give a shout-out to Cavallo Hoof Boots for providing ABOVE & BEYOND customer service. They have worked with me for the past 2 months to make sure that Chase, my 18hh Clyde/TB cross, has a pair of front hoof boots that fit properly (he needed the Big Foot Boots in a size 9). I have to especially thank customer service rep Yvonne Welz who evaluated multiple photos and videos in an effort to determine the correct size for a horse with giant flat feet. Yvonne’s email replies were always prompt, supportive and kind, and believe me I sent her way too many emails!

    This evening when I checked my inbox, I discovered that she is sending me a free pair of Pastern Wraps that will help improve the fit of the uppers of the boots. The sole size is perfect, but the tops of the boots are a little too big. The Pastern Wraps will correct that.

    Thanks Cavallo & Yvonne for providing the kind of customer service that is sorely lacking in most places today, but that we all long for when dealing with businesses that offer products and services.
    Great customer service should be a no-brainer. Doing it the right way is doing it the Cavallo way.”

    Cavallo Hoof Boots - ice snow winter back hoofs

    “"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."”

    Mini horse Laminitis Cavallo CLB Hoof Boots

    “Thank you for Allowing him to Enjoy more Adventures!"

    "Thank you so much for my daughter's hoof boots for Cuddles the Shetland pony, He has been seriously poorly in the past with Laminitis and suffers with Cushings. He has been in our family for over 16 years and has done everything with my 3 daughters, the eldest now being 18! He has been the best family pony ever. He’s been camping, done cross country, fancy dress, fun rides, lots of completions, beach walks - literally everything. My babies rode him even before they could walk. He is a precious pony and we are glad he has recovered so well. Exercise is so important to him and without these boots now he would be really struggling. Thank you for saving him and allowing him to enjoy more adventures. He is back to his normal, cheeky, energetic self and actually he takes them for walks very regularly, thanks to the boots!"”

    Tron Impar Hoof Ligament - Cavallo Hoof Boots

    “Torn Impar Ligament in Hoof"

    "I just got my first pair of Cavallo hoof boots. My mare has a torn Impar ligament in her hoof and so has been retired. I pulled her shoes but I wanted to protect her feet from the decomposed granite and sand that is everywhere here in the desert. I love these boots! Even after an hour long ride, very, very little dirt got inside of them and they fit nice and snuggly. They were very easy to put on and my horse had no problem walking trotting and cantering with them. I would definitely buy them again."”
