Scoots as a Spare Tyre
Posted on
Does this mean that your adventure is over? Is your only option to turn around and return home? No, not you. You’ve prepared for this possibility. You dismount and pull a Scoot Boot out of your saddle bag.
You’ve planned your entire trip out in detail. You’ve gotten time off work, found a sitter for your pets and planned meals for the family. You know where you’re leaving...

Can Hoof Boots Aid in Navicular Recovery?
Posted on
A real advantage of keeping a horse barefoot is preserving his heels from all the friction and wear from moving against the shoe, according to farrier and veterinarian Stephen O’Grady of Northern Virginia Equine in the U.S, read how Hoof Boots can assist in navicular recovery.
The horse’s heel is an exciting structure. Like the rest of the horse’s foot, it’s designed to absorb shock in a way that protects all the tissues above it all...

Interview with Susan Tomlin and Dancealong, Grand Prix Dressage Rider in Scoot Boots. New Zealand, December 2019
Posted on
Shoes were not really working for Dancealong. Despite being on high quality hoof supplements and balanced nutrition he has a slow rate of hoof growth. The hooves would crack up to the nail holes and the shoe would fall off taking out a big chunk of wall in the process.

Scoot Boot- Helping to Push for Industry Change
Posted on
I have several horses that can go without, but the cool thing about the boots that I tried, out of the all the boot designs, Scoot Boots are very dynamic, they are more bendable, it’s like putting the perfect terrain underneath the horse for every step.
Scoot Boot is passionate about the barefoot movement, which is why their hoof boots came into existence. Their lightweight, flexible and durable design provide an experience for your horse that...

Heel first
Posted on
What some brush off as minor mood swings, laziness, or “just too tired to move” could be clear indications that your horse is unbalanced in the hoof, causing a domino effect of stiffness, sharp pains or long-term soundness complications.
What's the first thing you check when something is off with your horse? They’re not acting like themselves, are acting a little more crabby than usual and aren’t too...

Lola the Retired Racehorse Chapter 9 “The Final Countdown”

It’s hard to remember that she has only been off the track for 12 months and that she has been in my life for just 11 of those. I can’t believe how fast time has gone by and all that we have accomplished together.

If you've never ridden through the snow before, we strongly recommend you do it. There's nothing like frolicking through fresh powder or taking a stroll on groomed trails while snowflakes float to the ground. It's an experience you won't get during the busy, buggy days of summer.

Thrush and More
Posted on
Yeast infections are the "more" of this article, and I see more of it than I'd certainly like to see and mostly it goes undiagnosed and untreated. What can happen is that the "mystery" lameness perpetuates and has even ended in premature euthanasia of the horse.
My last article I wrote was on "Thrush, White Line Disease and more ..." In the article, I discussed, briefly, how yeast can invade horses' hooves making them lame. Yeast...
