MEET THE TEAM

Dave
Co-Founder and Director
I’ve spent a lifetime around horses from starting horses to becoming a full time farrier for 15 years before I discovered the advantages of keeping horses barefoot. I felt compelled to spread the word and started designing and developing hoof boots, starting with the “Old Macs” through to our current Scoot Boot. Barefoot is the way of the future.

 

Annette
Co-Founder and Director
My passion is my family, friends, animals and in particular, horses. I’m grateful that I now have a platform to change and improve the welfare of horses and change the mindset of equine owners to allow their horses to run bare rather than having iron nailed onto their hooves.

 

Milda
Chief Financial Officer
I love helping to get the word out to the world on the benefits of barefoot. I have 3 horses, all of which are barefoot (of course) and are kitted out in their own colour coordinated Scoots. I am also a keen gardener and love exploring the Tasmanian wilderness.

 

Tiri
Operations Manager
I love seeing a healthy supply chain and am always looking for ways to improve efficiency. I'm a closet foodie, lover of sport and enjoy tinkering the keys on my piano outside of Scoot Boot hours.

 

Lynn
Office Manager
My background is in HR and Recruitment in the aviation industry. When I moved to Tasmania I was fortunate to move into my role at Scoot Boot. I love working for Scoot Boot as we are all like minded when it comes to animal welfare and wanting to make the world a better place for our equine companions. In my spare time I love to go bushwalking and exploring the beautiful state I live in - there's always something new to see and do!

 

Sarah
Marketing Coordinator
My background is in painting and graphic design and I have lived and worked around the world. I love to experience different cultures! The Scoot Boot office is such a great place to work and improving our processes always makes the environment fun and inspiring. Outside of the office you will find me out walking in nature, pottering in the garden or playing with my furry friends.

 

Julia
Sizing Specialist
I am passionate about the barefoot movement and enjoy helping horses achieve great health through my work as a trimmer and as a Scoot fitter in the field. I have three beautiful daughters, four horses, a dog, a cat, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens and I'm in the process of building my own house, which keeps me busy. . . . . . and I wouldn't have it any other way!

 

Steph
Customer Experience Consultant
I've owned and worked with horses my whole life and am passionate about their welfare. I love problem solving and putting a smile on people’s faces through customer support at Scoot Boot. In my spare time I love to go camping and especially love the East Coast of Tasmania.

 

Fiona
Customer Experience Consultant
I have grown up with a very strong passion for horses. Riding, owning and attending horse camps. I believe in the importance of the humane treatment of horses, and the barefoot movement is a crucial part of that. My professional life has been in sales and customer service, with graphic design and art background. It is so rewarding to help customers find solutions to problems and get to know them on a personal level.
 
Macy
Administration Assistant
My name is Macy and I’m the Administration & Marketing Assistant for Scoot Boot. I am currently in my gap year and am planning on going to University in 2021 to start my journey of becoming a Veterinarian! I absolutely love all animals and love working with horses at Scoot Boot. I am an avid baker and love to spend my time with my family, friends and pets.

 

Brigitta
Administration and Digital Assistant
I joined the Scoot Boots crew after retiring from a 32 year career in TV production. I've always appreciated photography and love helping out with filming and video editing at Scoot Boots. I've owned horses since I was 12. I currently have a family of 4 warmbloods expanding over 3 generations, that I bred myself. I'm still an active rider, competing in lower level dressage and jumping, exploring the local riding trails often accompanied by my Great Dane, or attending various horse clinics. You can never stop learning about horses.

 

Marie
Administration Assistant
I am the newest member of the Scoot team and am a bit of an all-rounder in the office. I have a background in trauma nursing and teaching in the Danish Defence force and have traveled a fair bit around the world. I moved to Tasmania 5 years ago and brought my 13yo Friesian mare with me from Denmark. I also have a 3yo Tasmanian born and bred Shire mare. Im passionate about keeping the horses in as natural an environment as possible, and I live by the motto; No hoof, no horse. I trim my horses myself and have completed several barefoot trimming courses. When I'm not out trail riding, I’m volunteering with Bonorong as a wild life rescuer and am studying a Diploma in Sustainable Living at UTAS.
