Cavallo Pastern Wrap for Horse Hoof Boot, Medium, Black

I wanted these to use with my horse’s new Cavallo Trek boots since they are a touch big. I was concerned about sizing since reviews say the chart is off. I went with the recommended size of Med for the 3Slim boots I have. At first I thought they were way too small because the Velcro didn’t even meet at the front of the pastern. Well, they are very stretchy and are supposed to be tight, so they ended up working out well. My horse is an American Warmblood for reference. I watched the video and read reviews and made sure the wrap went under the hoof bulb so your horse is actually stepping on the wrap before putting on the boots. I had no trouble with the wrap moving while putting on the boot. It did not slip with wear, although we have only had a short workout so far. It did help the boot fit a bit more snugly, but there was still a gap at the back of the foot that I am not too worried about. I am happy I bought these to pair with the Trek boots.

Over all I like the look and fit. I did have to go 1 size up because the smaller one didn't fit even though by the instructions it should. Over all I like the product. Can be hard to keep in place when applying the boots.

Sizes are listed differently & run smaller so nearly impossible to pull hard enough to get velcro to catch enough. Had only had minimal to moderate success with old ones not sliding up in back often with putting boots on but then with riding... But also noted boot section that covers the bulbs on more "drawn in" on newer boots even after returning for replacement. Assuming slight manufacturing change as these are my 4th pair. I could use the wraps a bit with boots during initial months of strict stall rest (use caution re increased pastern & hoof capsule temps with Laminitis...) & hand walking during recovery. But longer riding in them often had the wraps wrinkling up & right above the bulbs no matter how far underneath the bulbs I started them. I filed, pounded, stretched a bit & softened the boot area cutting in back edge seam between leather & padded rim so quit using the wraps what little I now need the boots.

You have to follow the directions so these stay in place. Youtube has a video on that. They're simple to adjust. The sizing is OFF though. A size 3 boot is the LARGE A size 2 boot is the MEDIUM If your horse wears a size 4, these might not fit. Not even the large. My horse's feet hover between 3 and 4 and these made it ok, but if he were a hard 4 or bigger, no way the large would've fit. I don't understand why they can't get the sizing right, since it's the same company that makes them?? I'd also like to see that the red tab is better reinforced. The stitching looks rather flimsy and I can figure over time to have to restitch them. Otherwise, they're good. I used them for the Cavallo ELB boot.

The pastern wraps work beautifully inside my horse's Cavallo Trek Boots. They protect his pastern area and heel bulbs from any debris that may enter the top of his boot while we are on the trail. Many people use these wraps to prevent rubs while breaking in new boots as well, although that has never been a problem for us. They are very easy to rinse off and dry after muddy rides. I got about 300 miles out of a pair before I had to replace them. Won't hit the trail without them!

I had high hopes for these pastern wraps based on reviews, but they are useless. They do not stay put whatsoever and roll up my horse's ankle within minutes. Can't even return them because I kind of jerry-rigged them to see if I could make them work... No luck. Waste of money.

Perfect fit for my horse would purchase again!

Looked like it was going to work, runs kinda small, however the red velcro came off 1st use...will see if I can get a good glue, but that was not secured well....Will see if the rest do the same

Fits small, great idea but to small for warmbloods

an unfortunate error now sorted without fuss

It don't stay on at all for me... The easy care are way much better. I am using my boots a lot and only in the winter. Maybe it is better in summer...

The wraps are a tad small and shift a bit. Order a size larger than normal.

Dangerous. Cut into my horses leg. Arrived with all holes in, and was cut wonky, Seller won't reply. Also way too small so I had to add 1 inch worth of fabric. I will be chucking them in the bin!
