Description
The new Cavallo Long Ear Boot (LEB) is the first of its kind – this hoof boot is designed with donkeys in mind. Their hooves are not just smaller than horse hooves - they’re longer, narrower, higher and deserve equipment designed just for them. Developed alongside top veterinarians, trimmers, and hoof care educators, the LEB delivers comfort, protection, and real performance - finally giving donkeys the fit they deserve.
In nature, donkeys evolved for arid, rocky terrain; their hooves are resilient but may face issues in softer/domestic settings. If you have a donkey or burro, you know that donkeys have distinctive hooves: more upright, narrower, with stronger frogs and higher, more prominent heel bulbs than horses. These differences matter. A proper boot fit supports healthy hoof mechanics, balanced movement, and long-term soundness.
Carefully developed through collaboration with leading donkey trimmers, farriers, and donkey rescues and hoof care professionals, the Cavallo LEB provides:
- Top choice for both performance and recovery
- High moisture and abrasion resistance
- A secure, anatomically correct and donkey-specific fit that supports natural hoof expansion and contraction
- Exceptional comfort, protection, and freedom of movement without restricting a donkey’s natural hoof function
- Easy front fastening with heavy-duty exchangeable Velcro® closures
- Moulded back flap (outside) and leather-padded foam (inside) to protect heel bulbs
- Soft foam-filled collar for pastern comfort
- 1680 Denier industrial-grade nylon upper
- Durable materials: industrial-grade nylon upper, waterproof stitching & rustproof hardware
- A design that reflects Cavallo’s commitment to barefoot wellness for ALL equines
- Built-in drainage – ideal for water, mud, or snow
- Fully adjustable upper fit
- Perfect for rocky trails, burro racing, barefoot transition, hoof rehabilitation, transport, traction on slick indoor floors and all-weather turnout!
Caring for your Cavallo LEB Long Ear Boots
Keep your Cavallo LEB Long Ear Boots in top condition with simple, regular care. After each use, brush off dirt and debris, and if needed, rinse with clean water. Allow the boots to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Check the soles, stitching, and Velcro® closures regularly to ensure a secure fit and long wear life. For best results, use on clean, well-trimmed hooves and store your boots in a dry, ventilated place. With proper care, your LEBs will keep your donkey comfortable, protected, and ready for every adventure!
