Cavallo Simple Hoof Boots Regular (Black)

• The sole of the hoof should fit securely inside the boot sole. Ensure that the entire weight-bearing wall from front of toe to heel buttress sits within the Simple Boot outsole. It may be helpful to compare the outside raised tread area at the bottom of the boot to the weight-bearing length of the hoof sole (toe to buttress as per diagram above).
• Ensure that the boot tongue is pushed firmly against the hoof. Draw the outer flaps firmly around the hoof, pressing the Velcro on the flaps against the Velcro on the tongue; keep taut and level.
• If the boot twists or moves excessively, it may be too big or the outer cover may be loosely fastened.
• If you have difficulty putting the boot on, it may be too small. Ideally the boot “snaps” nicely onto the hoof for a good fit. Please check your measurements against the chart above.
• PASTERN WRAPS (available separatley) can be used to assist in the breaking-in process to prevent chafing if required.

When choosing and using any hoof boot:

Hoof boots (unless otherwise stated in the description) are intended for barefoot horses doing ridden work. They should be sized and fitted within 7 days of a trim suitable for a working barefoot horse (or at a time when there is nothing at all to trim, and there is still a good rolled edge). The size charts are a good guide to sizing, but this cannot take in to account of the angle of the hoof, heel height and other features of the hooves which will ultimately also effect the fit of the boots. 

If you have any questions or need help finding the best boot for your horse and their individual circumstances, please make use of our free hoof boot advice service which can be found here.
