As we close out 2024, we want to thank you for your continued support and partnership. Your feedback and collaboration has been invaluable again this year as we worked to improve and grow together. We’re excited to enter 2025 with new tools, products, and updates to better serve you and your customers.
Coming in 2025: The First-Ever Scootboot Catalogue
In 2025, we’ll be releasing the first-ever Scootboot Catalogue—a comprehensive guide to the full range of Scootboot products. Designed as a practical tool, it will include all products and RRPs, making it easier for you to showcase the entire range to your customers. The catalogue will serve as a valuable resource to complement your Scootboot marketing efforts and provide clear, accessible information for your clients.
Expanding the Range: TheraRide and More
As part of our commitment to innovation and providing as many equine owners as possible the freedom of barefoot, we’re excited to announce the launch of the TheraRide.
The TheraRide is the world’s first rehabilitation-to-riding boot. This groundbreaking innovation by our Co-Founder Dave MacDonald provides amazing versatility to support horses during transition, injury, recovery and riding.
The TheraRide will come with two pad options - the marigold-coloured Therapy Pads and the softer Standard Pads. We have more pad options in development and will be rolling these out over the coming months. You can also use your own wool or felt pads, as well as glues, to suit the individual needs of the horse.
The all new TheraRide, along with updates to existing products and an expanded range of gaiters, will be included in the 2025 catalogue to ensure you have everything you need to support your customers.
The Hub: Upgraded for 2025
To support these changes, The Hub is undergoing a series of upgrades throughout 2025. The first improvement is a streamlined sizing page to help you choose the right Scootboot model for your customers’ horses. Further updates will enhance branding tools, training resources, and education to ensure you’re equipped with everything you need to navigate the new products and branding.
We appreciate your patience as we roll out these updates.
What’s in a Name?
As we introduce new branding and products, we’re also streamlining our language to make it easier for you to communicate the Scootboot range to your customers. Earlier in 2024, we partnered with Stockists for a comprehensive branding and product survey, alongside gathering valuable insights from our team and end users.
A key finding was the confusion surrounding the name “Enduro,” which led us to rename the model to Adjust. This new name reflects its unique adjustable features and resonates more clearly with customer expectations. You’ll notice this change digitally first, with the transition continuing gradually throughout 2025.
Additionally, you will notice our move to unify Scoot Boot into a single word: Scootboot. Our first hoof boot model is now described as the Scootboot Classic, reflecting its foundational role in our range.
We’ll be rolling out a range of pads over the coming months, but TheraRide will first come with the marigold-coloured Therapy Pads, and the softer Standard pads. You can also use your own wool/ felt pads or glues.
European Regulations
We wanted to share a quick update about some changes we’re making to ensure compliance with new EU product safety regulations. While these updates primarily impact our EU Stockists, we’re committed to keeping everyone informed and ensuring smooth operations for all.
For Our EU Stockists
Appointment of Authorised Representative (AR):We have appointed an Authorised Representative to meet the new
requirements. Here are the details:
Product Documentation:We’re preparing the necessary safety and usage instructions and will send them to you shortly. These will also be included with all shipments to the EU.
For Our Non-EU Stockists
To keep things simple and efficient, we’ll now include compliance paperwork with all our products, even though the new regulations don’t apply to you. Don’t worry—this won’t change anything for your operations! It’s simply a way to streamline our processes and maintain fast shipping times for everyone.
What’s Next?
If you’re based in the EU, please keep an eye out for the documentation we’ll be sharing soon. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please respond to this email, or contact us at stockist@scootboots.com.
Thank you for your continued support.
From myself, and the entire team at Scootboots we wish you a safe and happy holiday season. We look forward to continuing to work with you for a big 2025!
