Gabriella Lynn, a student at Western Kentucky University, in Bowling Green, conducted a study to determine Cavallo Trek boots’ effects on hoof pressure distribution. In her study, Lynn measured pressure distribution as horses walked over Fujifilm Low Prescale Film barefoot and when wearing boots, on asphalt and over crushed stone. The color film images revealed pressure over the hoof wall and sole, as well as minimum and maximum pressure, mean pressure, size of contact area, and force.
