SmartPak Says Thank You to Essential Equine Professionals

Here at SmartPak our mission has always been healthy horses and happy riders, but we couldn’t do what we do if it weren’t for all of the incredible professionals in the barns. If you want to show your appreciation to the hard-working folks in your horse’s life while still social distancing, why not send them a SmartPak Gift Card? You can send them right to an email inbox so it’s a perfect no-contact way to say thanks!

“I just wanted to say thank you to Stella, Laura, Kasi, Nikki, and all the wonderful barn staff! I am so grateful for everything that you do especially during these crazy times. I find comfort in knowing that Val is in great hands! Thank you! Ya’ll are amazing! We love you!”

“There are so many to thank (which I’m thankful for in itself!). Thank you, Kara, for all of the hours spent making sure that my horse Baylee is always well cared for, not just now but always. Thank you for your help with Annalea and for keeping us sane during these times! Rylee, thank you for keeping Baylee looking good and prepared for any unexpected mirrors, flower boxes, or shadows! Thank you, Marcy and Sonya, for everything that you do. A heartfelt thank you to Kara, Johanna, Vicki, and John for always being so good to us and treating us like family, and for caring for our horses just like they are your own. Thank you to my farrier, Alex, for always showing up for Baylee. Lastly, thank you to Liliana, Rylee, and Eliza for your endless laughter and smiles – it’s contagious!”

“I hit the jackpot when it comes to Freckles’ care! Our barn owner/manager/caretaker/lady with the food/trainer/knower of all things/answerer of all the questions, Tammy never gets a day off of feeding horses and cleaning stalls and we can’t thank her enough. I can always rest assured knowing Freckles is in her care. Also a huge thank you to the rest of our team for keeping my Freckled ball of joy going strong in his senior years; our wonderful chiropractor/acupuncturist Dr. Megan, our awesome vet Dr. Kendyl & extremely talented and keyword ‘patient’ farrier Ernie!”
-SmartPaker Al and Freckles

“I am so thankful for my barn owner, Alex, and manager/trainers, Bill and Roger, and all the barn staff for taking such great care of my horse, Storm, and the other 40 horses that reside there.  They have done an amazing job keeping our horses healthy, happy and safe, during the COVID-19 crisis. During this crazy time, my horse’s well-being is one less thing I have to worry about because I know they are very well taken care of at this farm.”

“Thank you to my barn owner, Nicole, for caring for Comet and keeping my mind at ease during these crazy times. I commend you for how you have handled things during this uncertainty and always keeping horse and rider safety as your top priority. Thank you for texting me photos and updates throughout the day and keeping my “helicopter mom” tendencies in check! Thank you for managing exercise and grooming schedule’s now, on top of normal barn duties to be sure Comet stay fit and ready to work. Cannot wait to be back to a buzzing and busy farm soon! Thanks again for all you do!”

Knowing that my horses are in such great hands definitely gives me peace of mind during this difficult time. The frequent updates, pictures, and FaceTime sessions help more than you know! An endless thank you to my trainers, Tommy and Renise for keeping the horses in tip-top shape and to Amy and Jesus for the incredible care! I can’t thank you all enough for everything you’ve done and continue to do.”

They are heroes to me!”
