Professional riders around the world are choosing to compete with barefoot horses. Cavallo hoof boots help protect barefoot horses as they warm up, train and travel over all types of varied and aggressive terrain.
World-Class Dressage
Jacqueline Brooks, a Canadian dressage rider and two-time Olympian, decided to keep her performance horses barefoot.
“I decided during the quarantine break to let all my horses go barefoot until I felt they needed shoes again,” Brooks says. “As time went by, I found there was little reason to return to shoes. My horse feels wonderful while working on footing, has no trouble with our grass and all weather paddocks, and so far, all the jog strips have been rubber or footing when we show.”
Brooks says she does worry about her horse’s soles when moving around rocky stable grounds. The Cavallo boots help her keep the horses protected when they aren’t traveling over soft footing.
“The only place I struggled with [my barefoot] decision was around the stabling at shows. There was primarily gravel and stones. These boots have been a godsend. The horses are now completely comfortable going to and from the ring on any footing. They are also extremely comfortable in the gravel wash racks. I was so relieved to partner with Cavallo and to be able to maintain performing at this level of competition barefoot.”
