About Us

Meet your Fitter!

Macy Zylstra

Hi I'm Macy, and I'm passionate about horses and hooves! I started my barefoot journey when transitioning my OTTB from shoes back in 2020. Now, all 5 of my horses are barefoot and we love trail riding! I have learned to trim all of my own horses and am obsessed about hoof health. Becoming a Scoot Boot Stockist & Fitter has been so rewarding. I've tested Scoot Boots through every terrain with all types of horses and hooves and I absolutely love this product. I'm very excited to help you and your horses!

We are located in Phoenix, Arizona!

All Terrain Hoof Boots For Trail Riding

Scoot Boots are excellent on all types of terrain including mud, sand, water, rocks, desert and snow.

Due to their design, Scoot Boots have excellent ventilation and drainage. Any debris that enters the boot, such as sand or pebbles, will filter straight back out.

Scoot Boots Fit Like a Glove

Designed by a farrier who is passionate about equine health and comfort. He has molded his hoof boots to fit perfectly to the hoof.

Optimum Drainage and Ventilation

Great Traction

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Scoot Boots?

Scoot Boots are a superior hoof boot. They are constructed of a strong material called thermoplastic urethane (TPU). TPU has high abrasive and shock absorbing qualities making them extremely robust and lightweight. They won’t get soggy or heavy when riding through mud and wet terrain.

Some of their superior features and benefits are:

Easy on and easy off
Superb strength over all types of terrain
Superior traction
No cables or velcro
Great ventilation and breathability for hot climate riding
Excellent drainage
Easy to clean
Fit hooves securely throughout a 5-6 week trimming cycle

Scoot Boots are a healthier, natural barefoot alternative to help protect sensitive horses’ hooves. Scoots allow horses to travel over any type of terrain no matter how harsh, with comfort and support.

What is the difference between Scoot Regulars and Scoot Slims?

Scoot Slims function exactly like our Scoot Regulars except they are more suited to oval-shaped hooves, slightly contracted hooves and narrow rear hooves.

Scoot Regulars and Scoot Slims are the same length, but Scoot Slims are 10mm (⅜”) narrower.

If your horse's hooves are wider than they are long, your horse will most likely require Scoot Regulars. If your horse's hooves are longer than they are wide, your horse will most likely require Scoot Slims.

Use our Free Sizing Service to size up your horse.

What is included in a Scoot Boot pack?

A pack of Scoot Boots contains a pair of Scoots assembled with black Front Straps and Pastern Straps. Your Scoots will also come with a pair of Trail Gaiters, spare Hardware, 2 spare Front Straps and 2 spare Pastern Straps, along with instructions on how to care for your Scoots and check your horse’s fit.

How durable are Scoot Boots?

Scoot Boots are extremely durable. Scoot Boots last an average of 1,000 kilometres (600 miles).

The durability of Scoot Boots will depend on the type of terrain you ride on and the gait of your horse.

If your horse has a floating movement and you only ride occasionally, then Scoot Boots will last several years. If your horse scuffs and twists its feet, then Scoot Boots will wear slightly faster.

Can Scoot Boots be used for rehabilitation or be worn 24/7?

Scoot Boots are successfully used for rehabilitation for all kinds of pathologies including inflammation, diseases, infections and injuries of the hoof and lower limbs.

Horses can be turned out 24/7 in Scoot Boots due to their superior breathability and drainage. Good breathability is vital in preventing a build-up of fungus and bacteria. The excellent drainage capabilities of the Scoot Boot means that the horse’s natural hoof heat will dry out any excess moisture, ensuring the hooves remain dry.

Scoot Boots have an open toe design to help relieve toe pressure. This is a necessity for laminitic horses. We also recommend using Scoot Pads if your horse has sensitive soles.
