PURPLE TREK BOOTS JUST DAYS AWAY!
When it comes to making hoof boots for you, it has always been FUNCTION, ease of use and durability. But what follows after all this is mastered? We asked, and you said, “How about COLOUR?” And the colour you most often chose was PURPLE, the colour of royalty, individuality, and rebellion.
So keep an eye on our emails, our Facebook & IG account and our website to be first to know when the PURPLE TREK is released next week!

Why Road Safety & the Right Gear are EVERYTHING:
At Cavallo, we receive a lot of unsolicited testimonials, but THIS ONE HIT HOME. This one shook us up. We can’t get it out of our heads… Please read this heartfelt message from Carolyn Gaedtke of Florida:
“Thankful for our Cavallo Boots. Two months ago, my four boys and our three ponies were out driving when a woman decided to run a stop sign and plowed into the back of my cart. The police believe she was on her phone and estimate she hit us at about 40 mph.
Her front bumper got caught in my carriage wheel and she pushed my pony, Anna, about 35 feet. Above is a picture of the cart. You can see the wheel where the woman’s bumper was stuck, so we couldn’t get away and she was pushing us. My 8-year-old son was in the cart with me.
It’s a miracle my pony, my son and I are alive! Anna’s Cavallo Boots got really beat up! If our pony hadn’t been wearing them it is highly likely her feet would have been destroyed and she would have likely had to be put down. Her boots protected her feet!
When I looked at the boots my stomach hurt to think what if that had been her hooves!!!!
We had a “SLOW-MOVING” sign on our cart with flashing red lights like for bikes, even though it wasn’t yet dark. The driver admitted she wasn’t paying attention. It is but by the grace of God my children and I and and our ponies are all alive.

NEW Cavallo Partnership wth TREC GB!
CEO Greg Giles and TREC GB Chair, Christine Paine recently met in person at the BETA (British Equestrian Trade Association) show in the UK.They had a lot to talk about! TREC GB‘s commitment to a fair, inclusive and friendly equestrian sport really resonates with Cavallo values, and we’re building a new partnership based on these principles!Cavallo is happy to announce we are now official sponsors of TREC GB! Many TREC riders use Cavallo Boots, since riders frequently move through beautiful, rugged areas where horses are often not normally allowed to go. Hoof boots that STAY ON are an absolute must, and we are very proud to be their choice.TREC is designed to increase the knowledge, awareness and enjoyment of the countryside for a diverse range of riders of all skill levels. It’s known as a really friendly sport, first-timers are always very welcome!

Thank you - We Had a Really Good Belly Laugh!
We had a difficult time choosing the winner of a free pair of Trek Pro Boots from last month’s contest!
Why was it so difficult, you ask? We asked you all to tell us the lengths their horse would go to for a pair of Trek Pro, and the winning comment on our Facebook post would be the one that made us laugh the most. Well, we had no idea how FUNNY you all are! The comments were pure GOLD!
A WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN!!! Congrats to Kelly West, who posted a hilarious video of her spooky and utterly ridonkulous pirate horse playing tambourine! Thank you to EVERYONE who made a comment to enter, We enjoyed every single one!
Wishing you many happy trails,
-Carole
