Welcome to Desert 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.

 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.

 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. 

  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.

 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.
