Yogi Sharp’s 2025 South African Clinics: Empowering Evidence-Based Hoof Care

Scootboots is thrilled to have sponsored Yogi Sharp’s 2025 Functional Hoof Care Clinics in South Africa, bringing world-class, science-driven hoof care insights to equine professionals in Cape Town and Johannesburg this October.

We’ve been proud to work with Yogi for a number of years, from the north to the south of the globe, partnering to bring his evidence-based hoof care knowledge to farriers, trimmers, veterinarians, bodyworkers, podiatrists, and passionate horse owners worldwide.

For the very first time, internationally acclaimed farrier and researcher Yogi Sharp DipWCF, BSc (Hons), PGCert, founder of The Equine Documentalist, shared his expertise with South African equine professionals. 

Yogi’s work bridges the gap between research and practical application, empowering equine professionals to improve hoof health, balance, and performance.

“It’s always exciting when Scootboots partners with Yogi Sharp. His knowledge and hands-on approach elevate the standard of hoof care wherever he goes, and we’re proud to support these clinics in South Africa,” says Annette Kaitinis, Scootboots co-founder and Brand Ambassador.

A World-Class Learning Experience

These clinics offered invaluable insights into:

Hoof biomechanics and posture

Functional trimming techniques

The link between soundness, mobility, and overall performance

Attendees benefitted from Yogi’s live demonstrations, cutting-edge research, and practical takeaways that can be applied immediately to improve the welfare of horses in their care.

Scootboots and Whole-Horse Health

As a global leader in performance hoof boots for barefoot horses, Scootboots champions horse welfare, mobility, and soundness. 

Our mission aligns perfectly with Yogi’s: supporting anatomy-led, evidence-based care to optimise the health and performance of every horse.

Both clinics, in Johannesburg (20 October 2025) and Cape Town (24 October 2025), sold out, showing the incredible enthusiasm for Yogi’s approach to functional hoof care.

Yogi travels the globe conducting these clinics with Scootboots, giving invaluable learnings and hands-on experience to farriers, trimmers, and equine professionals everywhere.
