Sydney, Dec 14: Scoot Boot, a Tasmanian-based company, has been honoured with the E-Commerce Exporter of the Year Award at the 61st Australian Export Awards.
Renowned for revolutionizing horseshoes, their hoof boots offer a modern, healthier alternative to traditional metal horseshoes, better-protecting horses’ hooves.
Founded by ex-farrier David Macdonald, Scoot Boots are crafted from durable thermoplastic urethane, providing strength, shock absorption, and lightweight comfort for horses.
These innovative boots are designed for easy application and removal, unlike permanent horseshoes, and are ideal for various terrains.
Scoot Boot’s success extends globally, supplying to nearly 100 countries.
This is their first national export award, adding to their five state-level accolades.
CEO Annette Kaitinis attributes this achievement to the team’s dedication since 2015, which has led to significant market expansion, including recent inroads into Saudi Arabia, Lithuania, Russia, and Latin America.
The company’s growth is also influenced by the increasing trend towards barefoot horses, a movement gaining traction thanks to social media’s influence.
Scoot Boot’s targeted social media strategy has engaged diverse equestrian groups, from showjumpers to trail riders.
This award marks a significant milestone for Scoot Boot in enhancing its international brand and reputation.
The company extends its gratitude to Austrade and various supporting organizations, including TCCI, TASICT, Department of State Growth TAS, AusIndustry, and DFAT, for their continued support.
