2. Technical innovation in the SCS® system
Mountain Horse is a world leader in developing optimum grip between sole and stirrup.
A decade of research and development has led to this success. Our patented design solutions
aim to provide better contact between stirrup and sole without jeopardising safety.
This project has resulted in the world-class SCS3 GRIP® and SCS3 LITE®. The choice between
LITE or GRIP depends largely on which type of riding you are involved in and on your personal
preference. You can go for the best possible grip with a more robust fit and sole, or a more
elegant fit with a thinner sole and lighter grip.

SCS3 GRIP – comfort, grip and safety
®
2005 saw the launch of SCS3 with the GRIP® sole and, since then, many riders have discovered
the significant advantages of this system. The unique shock-absorbing elements in the sole and
heel help ensure fabulous comfort and reduced strain on the feet, knees and back. The patented
configuration of the outer sole, together with the stirrup tread, provides the best possible grip
and prevents the foot from sliding forward and through the iron. Four grooves give the rider the
option of switching foot position and there are different treads for jumping or dressage. If you
end up in trouble and come off, the sole comes free of the tread because the foot is not ‘locked’
in any way.
3. It doesn’t matter whether you choose SCS3 GRIP®
or SCS3 LITE® boots – both soles are ideal for use
with our two stirrup designs:
• Competition Stirrup – A lightweight stirrup, ideal for competition use, with a wide tread.
• Quick Release Stirrup – A safety stirrup, which is heavier and makes it easier to put your leg on the
horse, with a patented release system made from rubber.
However, do bear in mind that the SCS3 system doesn’t function fully when using treads without the
SCS3 system.

SCS3 LITE – Function meets elegance
®
We have invested all our knowledge and experience in the SCS3 LITE® system, without
compromising on technology. The result is that we have created the most elegant and, at the
same time, functional riding boots available. The easy way to tell GRIP® from LITE® is to look at
the sole thickness and pattern. LITE® has a thinner sole, with more grooves. You will still have
good grip in the stirrup, but it’s not as pronounced as with GRIP®. The thinner soles make this
riding footwear ideal for people who prefer a neater, more elegant fit.
4. Supreme – The Superior boot
The supple softness of the full grain
calf leather helps this boot fit and
feel like a second skin. It is, in fact,
an advanced, high-performance
competition boot. The flexible,
yielding leather gives a tangible
contact with the horse’s body,
allowing you to feel his movement
through your boots. You and your
horse become as one!
The styling is sleek and neat but this
boot is still equipped with the latest
shock-absorbing technology and
ergonomically-designed foot support.
When technology and elegance meet
in this way the result is a one-of-akind – a boot we call SUPREME.

Boots and shoes equipped with SCS3 Lite® can be
used with all other conventional stirrups/stirrup
treads on the market.
