Cavallo's well-known hoof boots, also called barefoot shoes, are a pair of innovative, on-and-off removable horse shoes that, when needed, provide effective protection for the unshod hoof from both hard and abrasive surfaces as well as ice and slippery conditions. Cavallo Hoof Boots, in other words, have similar properties to a regular iron shoe, but with the difference that they can be put on and taken off at any time. Ideal when your unshod horse needs to walk a longer distance on hard surfaces, or if it has slightly sensitive soles. The hoof boots are also suitable for use in cases of laminitis or other hoof problems, alternatively as a temporary solution when your horse has lost a shoe.
This particular model, Simple Hoof Boots, not only has a sleek design but is also made with a leather upper for high flexibility and optimal comfort. The underside is made of molded TPU, and the Regular Sole means they are designed to fit a round hoof. If your horse has a slightly more oval-shaped hoof, there is also the Simple Slim Sole.
The barefoot shoes are easily slipped over the hooves and then fastened with convenient, replaceable Velcro straps. The hoof boots should have a snug and close fit that follows the horse's hoof. Sold in pairs.
