TheraRide

TheraRide is a hoof boot that combines therapeutic support with riding. In fact, the boot has a recessed sole, so you can change the pad inside the boot to suit your horse’s needs. As a result, your horse can keep the support even after it is back in work. TheraRide builds on the ScootAdjust (formerly Scoot Enduro), and you buy the boots in pairs.

Why choose TheraRide

• For both therapy and riding. According to the manufacturer, TheraRide is the only therapeutic hoof boot that suits both therapy and riding.
• Shock-absorbing pad. The TPU therapy pad has a honeycomb pattern that absorbs concussion.
• Interchangeable pads. In addition, you can change the pad when your horse’s needs change.
• Open design. The open design also gives good ventilation and drainage.

Two types of pads come with TheraRide

• Therapy Pads (TPU). The yellow honeycomb pad sits in the boot when it arrives. It absorbs concussion very well and is also extremely durable, so you can use it for both rehabilitation and riding.
• Standard Pads (EVA). The pad in the accessory bag, on the other hand, is made for comfort and light riding. In other words, it does not suit long-term use or long-distance riding. EVA compresses when you use the pad, but it returns to its shape when it rests. You can also use it together with your own custom pad.

TheraRide size and fit

TheraRide comes in the slim model, in sizes 00–8. According to the manufacturer, it suits hooves that are hard to fit, for example upright hooves and hooves with high or underrun heels that do not fit the Scootboot Classic. Measure the hooves within two weeks of a trim and then compare with our size chart. Not sure? Then email photos of the hooves and the measurements to info@scootboots.se and we will help you.

During rehabilitation

According to the manufacturer, TheraRide can provide relief from several hoof conditions, such as navicular syndrome, pedal osteitis, ringbone, sidebone and thin or bruised soles. Therefore, talk to your vet or farrier about how the boots fit into your horse’s rehabilitation.

What is included

When the boots arrive, 2 mud straps, 2 mud strap collars, 2 bulb straps, 4 front straps with knob hooks, 4 rear screws with washers and 2 Therapy Pads (TPU) are already in place. The accessory bag also contains:

• 6 mud straps and 4 mud strap sleeves
• 2 bulb straps and 2 bulb strap extenders
• 2 front straps and 4 knob hooks
• 2 rear screws and 2 bulb strap gaiters
• 2 Standard Pads (EVA)
• an information card and a fitting guide

You also get a tote bag. For TheraRide, there are also TheraRide 3-Degree Wedge Pads, which raise the heels.
