Red-1
I used to be decisive, now I'm not so sure...
I came here from the other thread! He looks incredible and you look so happy on him
He is ace! Just what I needed when my world had fallen down.

Canter ? woohoo ?

I also zoomed my way over here from that thread to see the pics and the update
Sorry to hear the day got off to a tricky start Red-1. I remember picking up my dad's ashes and it was so sad and surreal/weird. But also pleased that your bike ride helped turn things around and that your fabulous Rigsby was there again doing his magic.
Love this - can you not choose a route with a handy wall on the way home?
@Red-1, I bought some Scoots size 10 last year for Ruari as I thought I might need them...haven't.....if you think he might be a size 10 (150-155 mm x 155mm from memory) I'd be happy for you to try them. They've never been used except to try on. Just send back if no good
@Red-1 I’ve got a pair of Swiss Galoppers SG5 and a pair of Floating Boots (I think M1?) that I’m happy to send to you to try. Both are pretty much unused as we didn’t get on with bf!
I don't really understand why they sent size 8 scoots with the measurements you showed, my cob has very similar sizing and he's in a 10 in Scoots... although the 9 did go on, they were tight on the heel.

J fits into Cavallos size 5 but they are a pain with his feathers, Scoots size 7 seem to fit foot wise but the back t bar is far to tight, 8's seem to fit foot wise ok, but might possibly be too big if they give at all, and the back to bar is a lot better but still slightly neater than I would like on the vertical bit. It's been suggested that I use a heat gun to stretch it so I need to try this.
Scoots sizes 9 and 10 arrived. I would say that the 9s 'fit' but I can also see that they would rub his heels. The 10 slipped round, far too big, , and the material is so unyielding that I'm not sure even they wouldn't rub the bulbs of his heels, so I think he is simply not a Scoot horse.
Being as he was also between sizes on the Cavallos, I am now stuck as they said those were the most likely to fit a totally round foot.

Might be worth trying the smaller size of the ones he is between in the cavallos. I found the bigger sizes to come up quite big in comparison to the measurement chart. My gelding should be in 6s (151mm round) but wears 5s.
Alternatively, I have found that padding up (with rubber pads) scoots works quite well to just reduce the size of them a bit.
I've just been through the whole hoof boot thing with my tb. I did use hoof boutique, shame they haven't been very good with replying to you. I know they are working odd hours and from home - I had daily email replies from them, although they always came through at 6pm or later which I thought a little odd. But they did send stuff out quickly.
Anyway, from the discussions I had with them and what would fit the TB, they mentioned that things like scoots and renegades (which I ended up with) would only really fit horses with small/low heels.
Shame the cavellos don't fit - what about with pads? Or when I took the cob barefoot, I used a pair of boa boots. Despite being quite clumpy to look at, the worked really well. Maybe something to ask?
