Anyone use Cavallo horse boots?

I don't use Cavallo boots but I've checked a pair out and plan on purchasing them as my next pair of boots for my horse. currently he wears with Easycare BOA hoofboots.

Personally, I am a huge fan of hoof boots over shoes, especially since my horse is out on pasture and only needs protection when we are trail riding.

Personally I would not worry about leaving my own horse turned out wearing Cavallo boots since they are made of leather and seem very forgiving. Just make sure they are snug so they don't wiggle too much. With my own horse, I apply his BOA boots and then let him walk in a circle for a few moments. Then, I tighten them up one last time and they're good to go. I would feel hesitant about turning him out in the BOA's, because they have this stupid little cap that goes over the dial that tightens them that could fall off. The Cavallo boots don't seem to have anything that could fall off or get lost, and I do not think they would fall off your horses foot unless they weren't applied properly.

If it weren't for that stupid dial cap on the BOA's, I wouldn't worry about turning my horse out in them if he needed it.

I've never used or seen Cavallo horse boots, but I HAVE ridden in boots made for people from that company, and they are wonderful. You may want to try putting an easy boot on your mare's hoof- that will protect the sole, and if it's on tightly enough, she won't be able to get it off easily. Easy boots are made from heavy plastic and don't break easily, and they are self closing. But best of all, they are nowhere near as expensive as shoes and pads would be. Another advantage to the easy boot is that you can pack it with cotton that's been soaked in something like icthamol, and use it to treat things like abscesses. I used an easy boot earlier this year when my mare had an abscess in her left hind leg, and it worked well.

I hope that helps.
