The top business award went to Scoot Boots which produces a light-weight hoof boot for horses which is easy to fit. The company was co-founded by Dave McDonald who has been a horse trainer for 30 years.
“We want to inspire, educate and advocate for a barefoot natural approach for horses around the globe, changing 1500 years of tradition,” he said.
“Our Scoot Boots allow horses to virtually go barefoot, an option that is much suitable to their overall health.”
Scoot Boots, which started operation in 2015, delivers its product to more than 400 retailers worldwide.
