Your Cavallo News! March 2023
Aaaaand the Best Dressed Award at the Oscars Goes to...
THIS Donkey!
"What are you Wearing Tonight, Miss?"
“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 Oscars on Sunday! Out trotted a lovely support donkey at Jimmy Kimmel‘s side, wearing our Cavallo CLB (Cute Little Boots)!
Monday’s USA Today article really showed the CLB Boots rocking the stage at the Academy Awards (photo above). This beautiful little donkey was actually a stand-in for Jenny and Rosie, who were the two Irish donkeys who starred in the film The Banshees of Inisherin. The film also stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson and received nine nominations at Sunday’s award ceremony.
If only we knew this donkey was going to be making such a glitzy appearance, we would have sent her some CLB Bling Boots to strut down the red carpet in!

Are you Ready for a Shift in How you See your Horse?
You are a trailblazer in the Cavallo Community, and now to confirm what you have discovered, I invite you to watch this inspiring new video. It will support your perspective and give you new insight.
Once you watch it, your perspective on horsemanship will forever be transformed. At first, you might not like what you see. You might feel guilt, shame, or regret. But then a change will happen inside you. You might start feeling a desire to know more or begin feeling more hopeful. You will definitely come away with A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF your horse both physically and behaviorally.
I started my company and designed Cavallo Boots and Saddle Pads because I noticed the behaviours mentioned in this video. I’ve worked tirelessly to educate horse owners about these subtle signs and how to read the behaviours your horse communicates to you. When I saw this video it resonated deeply with me, and I’m delighted to see more horse people opening their eyes to the delicate body language offered by their equines. Horses do not lie. If they are unwilling, they are usually inhibited by a level of discomfort. It is our responsibility to understand and make the adjustments your horse is requesting.
You will surely appreciate all the scientifically documented discoveries made here and as an astute horse owner will agree that the discomfort most often stems from the lower limbs. We all know how a barefoot program along with Cavallo Hoof Boots, goes a very long way to prevent and alleviate the problems.

What You're Saying:
"Multi-Use Boots I Recommend to Everyone"
“I wouldn’t use any other boots for my horses! After seeing how amazing these boots were helping my late QH with contracted heels, I knew I had to have a pair for my shire!
Back when he arrived, I couldn’t figure out why he didn’t want to go back into his pasture (lives out 24/7-365 during the winter). The ground was frozen, lumpy and unpleasant. Realizing it was his thin soles, I ordered some Cavallos after hearing they had draft sizes! After a few days of getting used to his boots, he was confidently walking around his field without issues! I’m absolutely in love with the fact that he can wear these for as long as he needs to without worrying about rubs and discomfort!
These have also been amazing for helping to provide extra support when he injures a muscle during the wet muddy season! Multi-use boots I recommend to everyone!

Cavallo FAQ Time!
Uh oh... A Patch of White Hair has Popped Up?
The Cavallo Bridge Pad #3001 is thin at the withers and the loins, while gradually thickening towards the middle. This distributes weight more evenly along the muscular structure, while still providing a gullet which allows the spine to lift again in rehabilitation. This will provide relief while you decide whether to continue with your current saddle
