Cavallo Horse & Rider Men's Regular

Just the job

I don't know what to say really about this boot: PROS - it stays on both in the field and when ridden, it is easy to clean, it is keeping his foot safe from further damage CONS - for the huge cost I don't think it is going to last very long?! he is wearing it for only a few hours each day and already within a week it has some rubber coming away at the edges and general fraying?! bit frustrating. Also I hadn't read the description I suppose but THIS IS ONE BOOT ONLY! I also found the fit wasn't great but his feet are a total mess and a shoe wasn't an option so its allowing us to continue until his foot has grown a bit

Impressed with this, used on a pony with a hoof abscess. First, they're easy to put on, with the front opening right up and letting the hoof go straight in. Getting the right size is key, there shouldn't be any pushing or pulling needed to get them on, unlike old style poultice boots. They're also easy to fasten with Velcro tabs, which also makes it easy to get them off. In this case, they were used over a shoe. Took a couple of walks to get used to the extra height, but the long had no bother when turned out in a grassy field - trotted up and down hill without bother, and the boots stayed on through rolls, bucks and gallops. They also didn't get pulled off by thick mud in the field bottom, and drained off after he went in the river for a drink. They seem to be hard wearing, but without being too heavy, though as he had a shoe that will wear them out faster than unshod. They certainly grip well on different surfaces, and have a fairly aggressive tread pattern. Haven't tried them while ridden yet, but I don't have any worries about doing so if needed.

Excellent boots and long lasting. Easy to put on Although they do need to fit well if not they either come off or rub or both.

Put on my horses ouchy hind feet. They went on easy and were quite secure. He was so much more comfortable out on the trail. He didn't mind riding in them at all. They have worn well on the 4-5 trail rides we've gone on. I used a mans dress sock (one that has either nylon or silk--not cotton) with the toe cut off to protect his heel bulb in case of rubs. This method seems to have worked well. As for getting the correct size, I highly suggest measuring on the cm scale as oppose to inches. Since my horse was close between two sizes, the cm allowed for precision.
