Scoot Boots - A Popular Alternative to Horseshoes

Posted by


Discover the Comfort and Performance of Scoot Boots for Barefoot Horses

For horse owners who’ve embraced barefoot riding or are looking for a healthier alternative to traditional horseshoes, Scoot Boots are quickly becoming a go-to solution. These modern hoof boots are designed to support natural hoof function while delivering exceptional protection and performance in all types of terrain.

Let’s explore what makes Scoot Boots different and why they’re worth considering for your horse.

What Sets Scoot Boots Apart?

Scoot Boots for horses are lightweight, form-fitting hoof boots made from a strong and flexible thermoplastic material. Designed to mimic the hoof’s natural movement, they offer a blend of support and freedom that’s ideal for barefoot horses.

Unlike bulkier boots or nailed-on shoes, Scoot Boots allow the hoof to flex and expand, which can promote circulation and overall hoof health.

Top Benefits of Scoot Boots

  • Natural Movement – Scoot Boots are designed to move with the hoof, not against it. That means your horse can walk, trot, and gallop without restriction.
  • Quick to Apply – No laces, no straps to tangle. These boots slide on and off in seconds with simple straps to keep them in place.
  • All-Terrain Grip – Whether it’s rocky ground, wet grass, or dusty trails, Scoot Boots provide reliable traction.
  • Durable and Easy to Clean – Made from a single molded shell, they’re built to last and super easy to hose down after a ride.

Great for Every Riding Style

Scoot Boots aren’t just for performance riders. They’re perfect for trail riders, endurance competitors, pleasure riders, and even horses transitioning out of traditional shoeing.

Because they don’t rely on nails or glue, they’re especially helpful for horses with sensitive soles, cracked hooves, or recovering from injury.

Why Choose Scoot Boots Over Metal Shoes?

Metal horseshoes have long been the standard, but they don’t allow the hoof to expand naturally with each step. Scoot Boots provide the protection of a shoe but preserve the hoof’s flexibility—helping reduce strain on joints and improving overall comfort for the horse.

How to Measure for Scoot Boots

Measuring correctly is key to getting the best performance out of your boots.
