Cavallo Hoof Boots - Deciphering the differences

In this blog post we shall take a look at the hoof boot range from Cavallo. Cavallo currently have 5 types of hoof boot but here we shall look at the 3 main ones, the Simple, the Sport & the Trek

Starting with the Simple;

The Cavallo Simple was the original hoof boot designed by Cavallo. Built to withstand a multitude of terrains and offer supreme protection to hooves whilst also having the ability to double as a therapeutic hoof boot to treat hoof problems such as laminitis, abscesses, bruises, thin soles etc.

Cavallo have designed the outer edge of the sole to be recessed out to avoid putting pressure on the sole of the hoof. Secured with velcro straps and featuring a padded collar, the Simple can be paired with Cavallo Pastern Wraps is desired for increased comfort.

The simple is lightweight and has built in drainage to allow water and moisture to escape whilst in use. 

Cavallo Sport

The Cavallo Sport hoof boot is a improved design from Cavallo, designed to be sleeker looking and more stylish than the simple, the simple fastening does away with velcro fastenings for a much easier boot to fit. It is lighter than the Simple and comes in a slimmer sole. The sole features are the same as other Cavallo boots in that the inside sole is seated out to minimise sole pressure and the outside tread is rugged enough to cope with all terrains yet allow that natural level of slip required by the horse.

Cavallo Trek

The Trek is the latest offering from Cavallo, Featuring a honeycomb mesh type outer that is ultra lightweight and breathable whilst also allowing excellent drainage for any time they may end up in water! Easy to wash as well and the velcro strap is easily replaceable and a spare is supplied with each boot.

The Cavallo tag is made of a reflective material for safer riding in low light conditions.

Unlike the Simple & Sport, the Trek is sold as a single boot.
