Carol from Colorado shares about Cavallo Saddle Pads:
"I love the Western Saddle Pads! I've been using them on my horses for about 15 years now. Close contact and very comfortable for both me and my horse."

Did you know about the research behind Cavallo Hoof Boots?

Western Kentucky University research recommends Cavallo Trek Hoof Boots for hoof protection, traction & reduced pressure.

In 2019, Dr. Jennifer Gill and Gabriella Lynn of the Western Kentucky University Equine Science Department (WKU) completed the first independent university study comparing hoof boots to traditional metal shoes.

They chose their preferred boots, Cavallo Trek Boots, for this study. Results confirmed what those in the horse community have been witnessing since 2006. Cavallo Trek Hoof Boots benefit horses – by providing comfort, protection, shock absorption and minimizing potential hoof damage.

Ride Along in the Desert with Lorraine!

"Here is an example of some of the terrain we have ridden for the past three months. These same 4 boots were already in use at home for close to a year when we arrived in the desert in Nov.Feb 5, 2024:

Here's a Desert Bighorn Sheep sighting, while crossing a technical portion of the Desperado Loop Trail, Peralta Regional Park, Gold Canyon Arizona. A great grip in our Cavallo Trek boots, all around.
Sheep on the hill just above us.

And here I am in much mud at Picketpost Mountain riding the Arnet and Telegraph Canyon Trails, with the rivers running from the rains last week. Boots stayed on perfectly in all 3 paces while wet!

I no longer worry about boots...we also cross the Salt River and then canter the sandy washes while the river water drains out. No problems at all!"

We all have that incredible dream - flying in freedom on the back of our horse 🥰 Thank you, Sophie, for sharing your amazing photo!
"What I like about them (Simple Boots) is that they have a similar grip as barefoot. Not slippery (dangerous), not too grippy (bad for joints, ligaments and tendons). My 22 y.o. is happy in them." - Sophie Moreillon

The original Cavallo Simple Boots truly stand the test of time!
Sophie Moreillon writes:
"Still so happy with my Simples! They do shape at the back to adapt to bulb shape and pastern movement. It's hay cutting season, there's currently wet grass bits all over the trails."

Cavallo Hoof Boots tackle the issue of fit by mimicking the natural shape of your horse's hooves.

Their conical shape, secured with industrial-strength Velcro, ensures they stay put when properly sized and fitted.

Cavallo Boots protect the entire hoof, including the bulb area, with a tongue that adjusts to the hoof's angle and a soft leather collar for added security.

Inside, leather-covered foam padding shapes to your horse's bulb area, offering a snug, custom fit. This unique design guarantees that Cavallos stay on, no matter the hoof type or terrain. Shop today and find a boot that fits your needs!

The more we know, the better we do. Sharing and taking in information is key to progressing as excellent horse owners. Thank you, Emma Massingale for sharing these thoughts.

Together we can all improve. I thought I might suggest some simple ways in which I believe the horse world can improve across the board.

1️⃣ - Stop referring to horses as “it” ! Happens all the time from industry professionals to young riders! Why does it matter?! Words have power, words reflect your attitude and your attitude influences your actions! So horses as a sign of respect should be referred to as he / she or by their name.

2️⃣ - We must all continue to improve our understanding of horse behaviour. On social media there is an abundance of innocent ignorance. Music and memes made of horses showing stereotypies like weaving, box walking, head shaking and lip slapping all put to music implying that it is funny…Which is isn’t!
Horses that show these behaviours need help to improve them, equestrians on social media should have the knowledge that these things aren’t funny and most definitely infulencers shouldn’t be getting viral likes and comments for what is ultimately just a lack of actual knowledge of horses!

3️⃣ - All horses must have turnout everyday- no exceptions, no excuses! All horses should have access to graze / roll / have zoomies. It is / should be there right as we all except that looking at videos of battery chickens is cruel so the horse world should stop making excuses and make sure all horses have adequate turnout time. (Only exception is while under veterinary treatment)

4️⃣ - Horses mustn’t be kept alone. They are herd animals they are not designed to live alone. While many horses accept this, it is not good for their mental health and deprives them of one of there greatest pleasures to scratch & groom another horse.

5️⃣ - Children / young riders should not be eligible to wear spurs. It’s not necessary and more training should take the place of a quick fix.

6️⃣ - Those who have the loudest voices aren’t always the ones who have the greatest knowledge! We can all be responsible for being better informed about training and making sure the horse world is an involving improving story. 💕 Emx
