About the Mud Straps

The Mud Straps are the ultimate riding accessory for those who like it extreme. The perfect accompaniment to your boots, the mud strap provides unparalleled security in deep mud and when riding over rough terrain. It can also help prevent losing a boot in the instance a horse overreaches. Made from extremely robust thermoplastic urethane (TPU), the Mud Straps are designed to stretch when placed under load and, if secured correctly, won't affect the horse's pasterns.

Included with the Mud Straps

- 2 Mud Straps

- 2 Mud Strap Collars

- 4 Mud Strap Sleeves (to be used to improve the fit or if your horse has sensitive skin/rubbing issues)

How to secure the Mud Strap

How do I modify the Mud Straps?

This video demonstrates how to stretch the mud strap with boiling water to make it longer. You may need to do this if you have a size too small or if your horse is experiencing rubbing due to the mud strap being too tight. You have the correct size Mud Strap if you are able to fit your finger between the strap and your horse's leg.

Here is an alternative way to stretch your Mud Straps using a heat gun or a hair dryer:

Note - as there are so many variables to the size of a horses upper hoof, you may find the Mud Straps are a size too small. If this is the situation, you can easily extend the length 10mm (3/8") which will be the length of the next size up. Do this by heat stretching.
If you have any queries about fit, please send us photos of the strap on your boots to sizing@scootboots.com for advice.

When you have the perfect fit - you will achieve maximum retention

If too big - if the Mud Strap can be pulled down to comfortably reach the coronet band, then your Mud Strap is a size too big and will pull off the hoof with minimum pressure

If too small - if you cannot slip a finger comfortably around the periphery of the Mud Strap, then the Mud Strap is a size too small and will likely cause rubbing

All your questions, answered.

The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.

This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.

Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight

Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.

This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
