Youâve had another magnificent summer with your horseâInvigorating rides, cantering through emerald green country sides, lazy picnic lunches, and refreshing dips In your favorite local swimming spots. Itâs been a fantastic season and it is now coming to an end.
Hoof preparation for winter time
Most of us donât ride as frequently during the winter months, so this time can be used to rehabilitate from the dangerous effects of metal shoes on your horseâs feet and hoof boots can be a useful, practical and no-nonsense tool.
Maybe youâve considered pulling the metal shoes off your horse for the winter. Perhaps youâve heard about the benefits of re-establishing proper hoof mechanism. You like the idea of allowing blood to flow freely into the live tissue of the brilliant structures that support your horse.
You are well aware of the axiom â no hoof, no horse and you want to do the best you can for your horseâs health and well-being.
You want fresh blood circulating to provide nourishment and oxygen to your horseâs feet. You want their weight and the shock of impact to be properly absorbed. And you know all about those debilitating conditions that so many horses are plagued with; navicular disease, laminitis, ring bone, side bone, splints, arthritis and chronic thrush can all be deterred by a practice that is simple, beneficial and cost effective.
Have I got your attention?
Now is the time to pull off those metal shoes. Allow the frog to make contact with the ground and pump fresh blood through all the coriums of the hoofâallow shock to be properly absorbed by the hoof, rather than referred back up the structure by the impact of jarring metal.
With various studies concluding that horses receive an 800 Hz vibration as metal impacts a hard surface at a trot, now is a good time to relieve those debilitating effects and encourage the hoof to expand and contract as it should. Cavallo Hoof Boots can help make this happen!
What we call âhoof mechanismâ is the pumping function that restores hoof health to your horse; absorbing shock rather than delivering it.
Your solution is to simply pull off those metal shoes and use Cavallo Hoof Boots to keep your horse comfortably free and natural.
So youâre probably thinkingâwhat are the costs of trimming compared to shoeing. The costs of hoof boots, even with trimming costs included, will amount to less than regular shoeing. But hereâs the real savingsâveterinary fees!
Your horseâs overall strength, respiratory, circulatory and immune system will benefit. Yes, a poorly functioning hoof can bring down the entire system, while alternatively, a properly functioning hoof has the effect of nourishing and revitalising the whole horse.
Most of us donât ride as frequently during the winter months, so this time can be used to rehabilitate from the dangerous effects of nailing metal shoes into your horseâs feet. Hoof boots can be the most useful, practical and no-nonsense tool to assist in returning those feet to their rightful healthy state.
Use Cavallo Hoof Boots for riding in winter. The boot soles naturally deter snow and ice from balling up inside the sole concavity, while adding studs can help with traction on icy surfaces. You can keep your horse moving all winter with the assistance of well fitting and well made hoof boots.
For horses dealing with bacterial infections or injuries, our boots can be used to aid in protection and speed up healing times. If you need to apply a poultice, secure a bandage, or remove thrushy bacterial infections, you can leave Cavallo Hoof Boots on even for turnoutâjust tape up the aeration slots to keep the hoof dry in wet weather. This will also help to combat the effects of ice shards or any other aggressive terrain.
