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 on the red carpet in!

Are you Ready for a Shift in How you See your Horse?
To all of you who are willing to embark on a journey of self-discovery, I invite you to watch this inspiring video. Once you do, your perspective on horsemanship will forever be transformed. At first, you might not like what you see. You might feel guilt, shame, regret. But then a change will happen inside you. You might start feeling a desire to know more or feeling more hopeful. You will definitely start feeling closer to your horse.
For decades (even before I designed Cavallo Boots and Saddle Pads,) I have been noticing the behaviours mentioned in this video and have worked to educate other horse owners about how to better connect with their horses. When I saw this video it resonated deeply with me, and I’m delighted to see more and more people every day opening their eyes to the subtle communications offered by their equines.
I truly believe that being as conscious as possible in terms of reading your horse, and making the adjustments your horse is requesting, along with a natural barefoot program to prevent or alleviate lameness is the recipe to successful horsemanship.

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!
