Protect your investment and maximise performance with Scootboots, the world's leading hoof boot.
Scootboots offer optimum traction, easy application, and hoof protection in place of shoes. If your horse struggles to keep shoes on or is losing hoof wall, Scootboots allow for natural movement, easy maintenance, and are cost effective, each pair lasting approximately 600 miles (1000 km) or more. They fit over sliders, can be used if your horse loses a shoe, and protect hooves during transport, making them the best choice for western riders who demand security, protection and performance.
You've spent months training and invested in entry fees. But on the way there, your horse slips on the trailer floor and suddenly it's all over. Scootboots fit over sliders or shoes, providing superior grip to reduce stress and keep your horse competition-ready. No unnecessary warm-ups, no last-minute injuries.
