As a horse owner, I try to give my horse the best. I want her to feel, look and perform her best.
There were 2 things over the past year that made me adjust her health routine...the fact that we moved from a dry, cold climate to a warm, damp climate, and the fact that she turned over the age of 15.
Smartpak is an amazing brand. You choose your supplements, and how much you want measured, then they create your "Smartpaks" for you! The supplements are sectioned off into their own sections, and are labeled. They have so many supplements avaliable, (their own generic brand is amazing and affordable) and they package it out for you. Then they ship it on an auto shipment whenever you want (I do it every month). They are labeled and measured. All you do is rip open the top and dump the supplements. No measuring! It's great for a barn that has a variety of people in charge of feeding. They also give you a free storage container when you first sign up, and are always happy to send samples to make sure they work for your horse.
Their customer service is beyond amazing. I ordered some shampoo that came opened when it was delievered. I called them, they gave me a refund, sent me a new bottle free, AND a $10 gift card towards Shirley's smartpaks. It was beyond expectations. They have won awards for their customer service. Smartpak orders over $40 ship free.
Their website also sells horse items, riding apparel and animal related gifts, and they ship free with Smartpaks!
ANDDD.....they have Smartpaks for dogs also!
Shirley is on 3 supplements. She gets 1 pack a day, usually with dinner.
The first is Smarthoof. I love Smarthoof. When I moved to FL, Shirley's feet got really brittle, due to the grass changes here. Within 2 weeks of using this, her feet have never looked better. Originally I was on 1 scoop, but now that it's dryer here, I reduced her to 1/2. I may increase it back to 1 starting this summer.
The second is Smartmare Harmony. I give this to her frankly, because as much as I love my Shirley, she can be very difficult to handle when she is in heat. This supplement has seriously made my life easier. Now her heat is very managable, and actually has reduced her stressing. She gets 1 scoop.
The last one is SmartLytes. I started this right before we moved to FL so she wouldn't get dehydrated. I was worried about the heat and how she would react. We did not have problems, and I give credit to this supplement. I found out that many of the other horses at the barn are on this supplement. As hot as last summer was, I am thankful she was on it!
Right now she gets 1/2 a scoop, I will probably bump her up to 1 when summer starts.
So that is my review! I feel like supplements have made Shirley happier and more comfortable, and also has made my life easier and took some worries away. Like people, changes in life can cause changes in diet. I feel very proactive in what Shirley gets.
