We’re excited to announce that Scootboots is a Gold Sponsor of the 2025 6666 NRHA Derby, one of the biggest events on the reining calendar, held this June in Oklahoma City. This major sponsorship increases Scootboot’s visibility within the Western performance world, especially among reining riders looking for innovative hoof care solutions.

Are customers getting the right Scootboot option?

Classic, Adjust or TheraRide? Helping customers choose the right Scootboot

With more models available, it’s natural for customers to wonder if newer means better. We’re seeing a trend where some riders are selecting TheraRide, believing it’s an upgraded version of the Scootboot Classic. It’s important to remind customers: TheraRide isn’t an improvement, it’s a solution for specific needs.

Here’s a simple way to explain it:

Scootboot Classic → For healthy hooves and everyday riding. Lightweight, flexible, and designed for natural movement.

Scootboot Adjust → For hooves with fitting challenges, underrun heels or asymmetry. Adds extra securement points and adjustability while keeping the proven Classic design principles.

Scootboot TheraRide → For horses in rehabilitation or needing extra support. Heavier, with built-in padding and wedges. Ideal for therapy, not necessarily for performance or casual riding unless extra support is truly needed.

Key point:

If the hoof is healthy and within standard shapes, the Classic is the best choice.

If the hoof needs fitting adjustments due to conformation, the Adjust is ideal.

If the horse needs rehabilitation support, then TheraRide is the right model.
