Meet The Team

Annette
Co-Founder / CEO
My passion is my family, friends, animals and in particular, horses. I’m grateful that I now have a platform to change and improve the welfare of horses and change the mindset of equine owners to allow their horses to run bare rather than having iron nailed onto their hooves.

Dave
Co-Founder / Product Design
I’ve spent a lifetime around horses from starting horses to becoming a full time farrier for 15 years before I discovered the advantages of keeping horses barefoot. I felt compelled to spread the word and started designing and developing hoof boots, starting with the “Old Macs” through to our current Scoot Boot. Barefoot is the way of the future.

Milda
Director Strategy & Finance
I love helping to get the word out to the world on the benefits of barefoot. I have 3 horses, all of which are barefoot (of course) and are kitted out in their own colour coordinated Scoots. I am also a keen gardener and love exploring the Tasmanian wilderness.

Tiri
Director E-commerce
I love seeing a healthy supply chain and am always looking for ways to improve efficiency. I'm a closet foodie, lover of sport and enjoy tinkering the keys on my piano outside of Scoot Boot hours.

Lynn
Head of Operations
My background is in HR and Recruitment in the aviation industry. When I moved to Tasmania I was fortunate to move into my role at Scoot Boot. I love working for Scoot Boot as we are all like minded when it comes to animal welfare and wanting to make the world a better place for our equine companions. In my spare time I love to go bushwalking and exploring the beautiful state I live in - there's always something new to see and do!

Cheryl
Head of Marketing
I’m passionate about branding and the power of storytelling to achieve business results.
As a returning expat, I’ve had some great experiences living and working abroad with a wide range of companies and with many different cultures.
It’s great to be a part of the Scoot Boot team to help grow the brand, build partnerships and expand our customers all over the world.
In my spare time you’ll find me tinkering around my hobby farm, enjoying the bush and the beach as well as the amazing fresh produce Tasmania has to offer.

Fiona
Stockist Relationship Manager
I have grown up with a very strong passion for horses. Riding, owning and attending horse camps. I believe in the importance of the humane treatment of horses, and the barefoot movement is a crucial part of that. My professional life has been in sales and customer service, with graphic design and art background. It is so rewarding to help customers find solutions to problems and get to know them on a personal level.

Sarah
Marketing Project Manager
My background is in painting and graphic design and I have lived and worked around the world. I love to experience different cultures! The Scoot Boot office is such a great place to work and improving our processes always makes the environment fun and inspiring. Outside of the office you will find me out walking in nature, pottering in the garden or playing with my furry friends.

Maylis
Marketing Coordinator
I love working at Scoot Boot and what the company stands for. I enjoy working on building a strong brand identity and presence in the equine world by organising and attending events or by communicating our values with our Scoot users. There is so much that can be done! I am outgoing and always love a good chat - if you don't mind my French accent. Outside of work, you will find me at a wine bar, trying a new restaurant, or exploring the beautiful island of Tasmania.

Steph
Customer Exp. / Sizing Consultant
I've owned and worked with horses my whole life and am passionate about their welfare. I love problem solving and putting a smile on people’s faces through customer support at Scoot Boot. In my spare time I love to go camping and especially love the East Coast of Tasmania.

Cheryl
Sizing Consultant
Through my life's journey with horses as a trainer, competitor, breeder, healer and coach, I have met some amazing people who are also passionate about their horse's welfare.
As part of the Scoot Boot team I enjoy finding the right fit to keep hooves protected as naturally healthy as possible for whatever their journey takes them.
I love living a good life in Tassie with my family, friends and animals.

Silvo
Content Creator
Been around horses since I was 8 and bought my first, a Brazilian breed known as Piquira, scrapping my early savings. Growing up with parents who owned schools for individuals with disabilities, I learned Equine Therapy.
Have nearly 30 years of experience as Art Director/Graphic Designer.
Love football, coal BBQ and support the Corinthians Paulista.
Beyond work, I enjoy graphic novels, playing guitar and practising BJJ.

Brigitta
Product Research & Development
I joined the Scoot Boots crew after retiring from a 32 year career in TV production. I've always appreciated photography and love helping out with filming and video editing at Scoot Boots. I've owned horses since I was 12. I currently have a family of 4 warmbloods expanding over 3 generations, that I bred myself. I'm still an active rider, competing in lower level dressage and jumping, exploring the local riding trails often accompanied by my Great Dane, or attending various horse clinics. You can never stop learning about horses.

Rob
Product Specialist & Photographer
I am a horse rider and photographer from central Victoria Australia. I have Arabian horses which I’ve dabbled in endurance with and ride out in the forest at home or in the Victorian high country. For over 25 years I’ve kept my horses barefoot or booted with the trimming done by myself. I love photographing horse action photos out in beautiful natural rugged locations. I'm happiest on my horses riding them at liberty in the forest or covering distance at a rythmic Tick tok trot.

David
Market Researcher
I've been around horses from an early age, but they were always “someone else’s” horse. At the age of 35 I purchased my first 2 horses, OTT standardbreds. It was a steep learning curve for everyone, and since then I've gone onto owning my own herd of
horses, which I've managed in as natural an environment as possible. I have competed and trained in many disciplines from Dressage to Navigation Rides and Three Phase Equitation, but keep returning to my first love; trail riding in the great Australian outdoors.

Macy
Administration & Finance Assistant
My name is Macy and I am the Finance & Administration Assistant at Scoot Boot! I have been with Scoot Boot since its early beginnings and am committed to helping aid the barefoot movement to improve the welfare of horses. Alongside my work at Scoot, I am a science student at the University of Melbourne, with plans to pursue a career in pathology. I am passionate about animals and love working with horses at Scoot Boot!

Bronte
Administration Assistant
I have been around horses since I was 11 years old and am passionate about animal welfare. I have 3 beautiful horses and I create horsey social media content with them. You might spot some on the Scoot Boot social media pages! I love content creation and enjoy working in such a fun environment that allows me to be creative and interact with customers from all over the world. I am currently in my gap year and am looking forward to heading off backpacking. Outside the Scoot Boot office you can find me riding my horses around the local trails, working out at the gym, swimming at the beach, going to music festivals and spending quality time with my friends, family and pets.

Zeppy
Dog Executive Officer (DEO)
My drive and passion for cuddles, scratches and treats push me daily in the Scoot Office. During my shifts you will find me scanning the carpet for scent errors, monitoring the tables for unnecessary particles and acting as a safety cushion in the event a staff member miscalculates their move on a giant resting paw.

I am also Head of Patistics and find that the number of belly rubs given per hour is directly correlated with Scoot Boot’s success. I mosey from workstation to workstation, receiving Pats and ensuring my colleagues maintain a high level of morale. Making sure all team members are happy is important to me, from our hooved models to our other furry casual staff. Supervising the team from my executive bean bag, I take my role seriously.

When not in the Office, you will find me at the beach improving my hole-digging skills and enjoying strolls with my furry friends and favourite human. Other special talents are aerating the compost and landscaping the yard with important treats.
