PLYMOUTH, Mass. (June 1, 2011) – SmartPak has added three new formulas to their SmartSupplements brand – SmartDark & Handsome™, SmartMare Balance™ and SmartShip & Show™ Paste – and early adopters are reporting good results.
“We are thrilled with the results we’re hearing from customers and seeing in our own horses with these new formulas,” said Jessica Normand, SmartPak’s Director of Supplement Marketing. “Like all of our SmartSupplements, we’ve worked hard to make sure these new supplements really are smarter. By approaching each problem from multiple angles, we’re confident these solutions will provide better results for more horses.”
SmartDark & Handsome is designed specifically for dark‐colored horses, including blacks, browns and bays. The formula offers a two‐fold approach, focusing on skin and coat health and quality of coat color. It combines Omega 3 fatty acids from three high‐quality sources – flax seed, fish oil and chia seed – with paprika and nutmeg, two spices to support darker, richer coat color.
Over 20 customers have already reviewed SmartDark & Handsome and rated the quality an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars. An excerpt from one review reads, “Just about everyone in the barn has stopped us and asked what he is eating because his coat is so healthy. I always tell them that my boy is smart, dark and handsome because of SmartPak!"
SmartMare Balance is intended to support healthy hormone levels and a balanced temperament in so‐called “moody” mares. The supplement offers a comprehensive selection of herbs, including raspberry leaf, passion flower and chamomile. Unlike many herbal supplements, SmartMare Balance comes in pellets, making it ideal for picky horses that turn their nose up at powdered alternatives.
SmartMare Balance has a perfect 5‐star rating, with one horse owner stating, “I swear I see a difference already. My mare has been extremely lovable and relaxed on the ground. Under saddle, she is focused, relaxed and very willing.”
SmartShip & Show Paste was designed to help horses cope with the demands of trailering, competing and other stresses. The comprehensive approach to managing show and transportation‐related stress includes electrolytes to ensure hydration, potent antioxidants to support a healthy immune system, and digestive ingredients to help keep the GI tract balanced and working smoothly, making it ideal for the competitive equine athlete.
100% of customers who have tried SmartShip & Show Paste would recommend it to a friend. One reviewer noted, “I used this product for a 6 hour trailer ride and my horse traveled great! He settled right into his new barn better than any other place before.”
