Review 

You kindly supplied me with sport boots and Simple boots 1 year ago. I have used them most weekends. I ride on roads and on rough heathery ground. The boots have performed well. They are slightly large for my mare so we use the orange inserts. Despite the fitting issue they have been incredible. I honestly am amazed.....




Our Cavallo Journey

2010 First outing. 6 weeks of ice and snow....
We had bolted round 2 sides of a ruin. Made a sharp "S" bend the opposite way in the dark, in the snow/ice and even though I was certain that death or injury was inevitable. We arrived home safe, boots intact - truely incredable

2011 - Jan / Feb. 2 months rain....
Living out with very soft feet. Required to protect hoof wall - so turned horse out on dry hill with Cavallo boots on.(not recommended I know) SHE WORE THEM DAILY FOR A FORTNIGHT - TURNED OUT ON THE HILL, AND BROUGHT THEM BACK INTACT EACH EVENING

2011 SPRING riding most weekends....
Across seriously steep contours with no injury slippage or even hesitation. THEY STAY PUT - NO MATTER WHERE YOU TAKE THEM

2011 SUMMER....
Asisted on trail ride for 6 days 20 miles per day. Feet hard and dry by now and even smaller than normal. Wore hoofgloves day one and spent whole day replacing them even on easy ground. Felt concerned about trying cavallo boots due to her feet being too small for the smallest boot had no option tried them on Day 2. We were thundering up forest tracks, tip toe-ing through bogs, galloping on the beach and swimming across lochs. I never looked back and NEVER LOOKED DOWN - you don't need to look down in Cavallo boots - they will keep up with you what ever your doing. In August I ordered boots as a present for my friends horse. Brenfield Mairi is an Irish cob she won the World Trec Championships in 2000. She is a very special horse. I ordered her the boots as I felt sure that a routine of barefoot trimming might improve the condition of the feet, and boots would protect her from further injury. She has taken to them immediately and her owners are already impressed with the performance of the boots. These are the people who taught me extreme riding - to impress them the Cavallo Boots must be something special
