Some horses seem to thrive on nothing but hay and water, but most horses need a little extra. Some horses – especially those with heavy workloads, or problem areas like a dull coat or weak hooves – really need specialized extras nutrition. But how do you find the perfect nutritional supplement for your horse? And if you have a lot of horses, keeping those supplements organized and getting to the right horses in the right amounts can make feeding time a real chore. Well, have you thought about letting Smart Pak help you out?
Visit www.smartpakequine.com, and check out their individual horse health analyzer. This short but detailed questionnaire can help you find exactly which supplements are right for each horse you care for. Best of all – and this is the really neat part – once you choose the supplements you want from their selection of over 300 leading supplements, they can package them up for you in handy daily use packs. These little presealed packs come in daily strips, labeled with your horse’s name. That means you can just grab the strip for each horse at feeding time, and know that your horses are each getting the right supplements, in the right amounts, for them. No more opening and closing countless big tubs, carrying around heavy supplement containers, or trying to remember which horse got which supplements and how much. It’s all done for you. It’s healthy too – your horse’s supplements are kept sealed, clean and fresh right until feeding time, and there’s no waste – meaning savings for you too.
SmartPaks can save you a lot of time, especially if you have a lot of horses with different nutritional needs. For large stables that may have different staff feeding horses on different days, the SmartPak strips take the risk out of supplements. You know that whoever is feeding, your horses are getting the correct doses of their supplements with no variation. If you travel a lot with your horses, these packs mean you only take what you need. And to take the trouble out of feeding, you can get your packs sent to you automatically every month. The packs are recyclable, so you don’t need to worry about the extra packaging. Best of all – SmartPak keeps the source supplements in bulk, so using SmartPaks may even work out cheaper than buying your supplements by the bucket at your local feed or tack store!

There was no shelter, no trees, nothing. Ben called again and we turned further right, angling away from the train. We were going uphill, and that seemed even more foolish to me until we reached the crest. What goes up, goes down, ...
