Product Description
The agricultural communities of Bolivia depend on the goat as a main source of food, both dairy and meat. As their ancestors did before them, the villagers cleverly apply all available resources to their daily existence. The hooves of the goats are clipped from milking herds and are then boiled and strung together on a fabric band to create ankle and hand rattles. To play the rattles, hold in your hand and swing using short arm motions. Alternately, grab some or most of the hooves to muffle the shake, then release for a louder SHAKE! Experiment to discover the unique characteristics of your rattles.

Ah-Ha! Something with no reviews! August 6, 2008
Mad Ethyl Flint (St Louis, MO)
Now I know I can't be the only one who's purchased these! But I guess I'll be the first to review them.
Little background.... due to carpal tunnel and severely breaking my wrist, I find I am no longer able to drum like I'd like to.
What's a girl (old lady) to do?
Try these goat hooves!
Admittedly I have a love for goats which is why I ordered 2 of these. But let me tell you they have a wonderful sound. Makes a really mellow sound, not as soft as wooden windchimes, but a similar sound. Very easy to use.
I've gotten many compliments on them as well as asked where I got them.
Two things.... some people may think they're gross, and if you use them for a very long time shaking them with passion, you may get a bruise.
Love them!
