Overview

A classic design that keeps delivering.

The Original Cavallo Hoof Boot, the Simple, has stood the test of time. Crafted from durable genuine leather, it delivers comfort, flexibility and long-lasting performance. The leather upper moulds to your horse’s hoof for a custom-like fit, and the boot is easy to use, fast to secure and simple to clean.

The Simple is an excellent choice for both riding and rehabilitation. It supports recovery from laminitis, navicular, abscesses, sole bruising, hoof cracks, punctures and contracted heels, and it works barefoot or over metal shoes: everyday trail rides, turnout, arena work, or a reliable backup for a lost shoe.
