The FEI does not allow hoof boots in either dressage or eventing but says it does permit them in show jumping...

However, in the UK competitions run under British Eventing (BE), British Show Jumping (BS) and British Dressage (BD) rules do not allow the use of hoof boots, therefore you cannot compete at affiliated events in boots.

In Ireland competitions run under Horse Sport Ireland rules do not allow the use of hoof boots, therefore you cannot compete at affiliated events in boots.

Hoof boot technology has moved on so far in the past few years with new designs, more lightweight and better fitting have hit the market.

If glue-on shoes are permitted, why not skinny-fitting boots such as Scoot Boot or Swiss Galopper? Please sign this petition to let the organisers of these competitions know that a change in the rules to allow barefoot riders to compete with hoof boot support is needed.

Thank you.
