Cavallo Hoof Boots Simple
The Cavallo Hoof Boots Simple are simple, but very practical hoof boots of super quality! Perfect for riding, but they can also be used on the pasture, in the box, on the trailer and/or for hoof problems. They are easy to put on, fit securely around the hooves without damaging them, provide good grip on the ground, are lightweight and extremely durable and they protect the hooves without disrupting the hoof mechanism.
You can use them for:
- hoof protection in any terrain
- horses with thin or sensitive soles, or hooves that need extra protection
- horses that do not wear shoes and their hooves wear out faster than they grow
- horses that have or have had a hoof ulcer, sole bruise, laminitis, nail tread or other hoof injury
- comfort with chronic pain or hoof sensitivity
- protection when your horse has lost a shoe
-
and even for protection on the trailer or in the breeding farm, because they can also be used over a hoof with shoes!
Cavallo hoof boots are of very durable quality and, depending on how and how often they are used and with proper maintenance, can last up to several years in our experience!
Sold per pair
Cavallo Simple's upper is made of good quality leather, and the sole is made of sturdy TPU. There are 2 drainage holes in the side of the sole through which water can drain (for example when driving through puddles). The hoof boots are not completely waterproof, but our experience is that you can usually use them very well as protection for hoof bandages. Feel free to ask us about our experiences!
The hoof boots close with strong Velcro, and you can optionally purchase a protective sock (Cavallo Pastern Wraps) if your horse has sensitive pasterns/skin, and/or if your horse has to wear the hoof boots for many hours a day.
- Contoured back for ball protection and extra abrasion resistance
- All-terrain profile ensures that mud, sand and dirt do not stick to the sole
- Excellent grip while allowing natural movement
- Built-in cushioning in the sole
- High-quality, specially formulated thermoplastic urethane (TPU) provides maximum protection, shock absorption, durability and abrasion resistance
- Soft foam padded edge (Cavallo Pastern Wraps are optional, for any additional protection)

Tip: We also have the model Cavallo Trek Single which you can buy individually. A great idea for protecting hoof bandages, for hoof ulcers and/or a lost shoe, for example.
We always recommend using hoof boots on both hooves of a pair of legs, to prevent imbalance and crookedness of the horse. If your horse only needs the hoof shoe for a maximum of a few days, you can easily use a single hoof shoe, which then functions as a sick or first aid hoof shoe.
You can add additional Velcro fasteners, turkeys, protective socks and also insoles, for extra comfort for your horse, purchase additionally. Find them in the shop.
Accurately measure the length and width of the hoof - do not include the hoof balls. Preferably measure immediately after a haircut. The hoof boots take natural hoof growth between regular trimmings into account.
Find the right size using the size chart and also check us if necessary You Tube channel for video guides!
Tip: This model is suitable for (round) hooves that are as wide as they are long. If your horse has narrow hooves (e.g. rear hooves), it may be better to use the Cavallo Simple Slim to elect. This is namely 6 mm narrower. We do not yet have these in our range, but we would of course be happy to order them for you at home!
Do you have a large horse with very large hooves, or perhaps a mini one with very small hooves? Then there are the Cavallo Big Foot Boots and the Cute Little Boots. These are currently only available on order and therefore have a slightly longer delivery time (approximately 7 working days).
When you receive the hoof boots
Please test the fit of the hoof boots, but remember that only unused hoof boots can be returned. So test them carefully on a clean and dry surface that cannot damage the soles. If necessary, place a mat or towel on the ground for your horse to stand on during the fitting.
To keep the boots nice and clean on the inside, we recommend placing the hoof in a freezer bag when trying it on, or wrapping it with a thin layer of cellophane.
- The shoe should go on easily, but if you have to force the hoof into the shoe, the shoe is too small.
- If the shoe can rotate around the hoof, the shoe is too big. A little movement is okay, as there must also be room for the natural movement of the hoof when landing.
Always introduce the hoof boots carefully. After all, they will feel different for your horse, and can also provide a slightly different movement pattern for a short period of time. Remember that sand or mud can get into the hoof boots, causing chafing or irritation. Especially with new shoes, it is smart to keep an extra eye on the hoof balls. Apply some zinc ointment, Vaseline or talc spray to the hoof balls or use Cavallo Wraps for extra protection.
Check your horse regularly and always ensure that the hoof boots as well as the horse's hooves and legs are clean and tidy before putting on the hoof boots.
