How to Measure for Boots
Measure the circumference of your horse’s cannon bone at its widest point, just below the knee (for front boots) or hock (for hind boots). If your horse is between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
Acavallo Boot Technology
Acavallo’s boots feature their proprietary gel technology for superior shock absorption. The gel is hypoallergenic and non-toxic, safe for direct skin contact. Eco-leather models provide a durable, easy-care alternative to traditional leather, while faux sheepskin linings add comfort and help prevent rubs.
The Opera tendon boots in classic gel and neoprene stand out for their innovative fastening solution, which uses two elastic rubber straps with highly resistant buttons.
These straps not only prevent the boot from slipping, but also offer the horse a wide range of movement. The straps with integrated holes avoid any restriction to blood flow, ensuring optimal comfort for the horse.
Inside, the boot features two gel strips that ensure superior stability and excellent shock absorbency during activity.
The ergonomic shell is made of impact-resistant thermoplastic material, providing reliable protection. Furthermore, the Acavallo classic gel used is hypoallergenic and non-toxic, making it safe for the horse's skin. Its unique formulation allows direct contact with horse's skin without negative reactions.
