Cavallo Hoof Boots Big Foot Boots

Cavallo's Big Foot Boots (BFB) are specially made for the big hooves and can  be used for rehabilitation, comfort and of course for riding, for the cart  and other (horses) work. They can be used on the road, in the box, on the pasture, in the box, on the trailer and/or for hoof problems!

They are easy to put on, sit firmly on the hooves without damaging them, provide good grip on the ground, are lightweight and extremely durable and protect the hooves without disturbing the hoof mechanism.

You can use the Cavallo Big Foot Boots for:

• hoof protection in any terrain
• horses with thin or sensitive soles, or hooves that need extra protection
• horses that don't wear shoes and their hooves wear out faster than they grow back
• horses that have or have had a hoof ulcer, sole bruise, laminitis, nail tread or other hoof injury
• comfort in case of chronic pain or hoof sensitivity
• protection when your horse has lost an iron

• and even for protection on the trailer or in breeding, because they can also be used over a hoof with shoes!

Cavallo hoof boots are very durable and, depending on how and how often they are used and with proper maintenance, can last up to several years in our experience!

Please note! The Cavallo Big Foot Boots are currently only available on order and therefore have a slightly longer delivery time (approx. 7 working days).

Sold in pairs!

More info

Cavallo's BFBs Upper is made of a strong quality nylon, and the sole is made of sturdy TPU. There are 2 drainage holes in the side of the sole through which water can drain away (for example when you drive through puddles). The hoof boots are therefore not completely waterproof, but our experience is that you can usually also use them very well to protect hoof bandages. Feel free to ask us about our experiences!

The hoof boots close with a strong Velcro closure in the middle, so that each shoe fits the left or right foot, or can be used on the back hoof.

• Preformed back for ball protection and extra wear resistance
• All-terrain tread prevents mud, sand and dirt from sticking to the sole
• Excellent grip while allowing natural movement
• Built-in cushioning in the sole
• High performance, specially formulated thermoplastic urethane (TPU) provides maximum protection, shock absorption, durability and abrasion resistance
• Soft foam brim (Cavallo Pastern Wraps are optional, for extra protection if needed)
• Replaceable closure

Sizes

Accurately measure the length and width of the hoof - do not include the balls of the hoof. Preferably measure immediately after a trim. The hoof boots take into account natural hoof growth between regular trims.

Find the right size m. b v the size chart and possibly also check our You Tube channel for video guides!

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, which 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, if you have to force the hoof into the shoe, then the shoe is too small.

• If the shoe can rotate around the hoof, the shoe is too big. A little movement is ok, after all, 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 to your horse and can also give a slightly different movement pattern for a short period of time. Especially with new shoes it is smart to keep an eye on the hoof balls. Apply some zinc ointment, Vaseline or talcum spray to the hoof balls or use Cavallo Wraps for extra protection.

Remember that sand or mud can get into the hoof boots, which can cause chafing or irritation. So check your horse regularly and always make sure that both the hoof boots and the horse's hooves and legs are clean and tidy before you put the hoof boots on.
