SmartPak Gives Back 2024: Our Support for Therapy Facilities, Rescues, and More
When people think "SmartPak' they probably think about our convenient feeding system or our innovative SmartSupplements that are Guaranteed to Work, and we love that! But our teams believe in more than just providing top-quality equine health and wellness products—we believe in creating a lasting impact within our equestrian communities. This year, we’re proud to have donated over $20,000 worth of products to more than 30 equine rescue facilities across 18 states. These rescues are on the front lines of saving and rehabilitating horses in need, often operating with limited resources. By sharing supplies and supplements, we hope to help these horses begin their second chance at life with the support they deserve.
“As a non-profit that serves children and adults with disabilities and challenges, we have a variety of horses in our herd that have diverse needs. SmartPak's donation of supplements and goodies to help with their nutritional care has been invaluable to help keep our therapy partners in the best condition to continue serving our clients and partnering with those with disabilities.”

Delivering Health and Hope
The numbers tell a powerful story:
- $20,000 in donations: Providing essential health and wellness products, from supplements to SmartCookies.
- 30+ facilities: Rescues of all sizes, united by their dedication to saving horses.
- 18 states: From coast to coast, we’ve reached communities across the country.
But the true impact goes beyond numbers. It’s in the lives saved and the futures rebuilt, one horse at a time. Rescue Facilities on the Front Lines Equine rescues do more than provide a soft place to land—they offer healing and hope for horses and humans alike. The people behind these organizations work tirelessly, rescuing horses from neglect, abuse, or abandonment. Yet, the resources to provide proper care can be scarce. That’s where our donations come in. By supplying high-quality health and wellness products, our goal is to alleviate some of the financial strain on these facilities when their horses need more support than quality hay and grain, allowing them to focus on what they do best: giving horses a brighter future.
"SmartPak's generous donations have been invaluable to Horse Haven of Tennessee’s rehabilitation efforts. Their hoof health supplements have strengthened and supported our horses’ recovery, especially those with neglected or compromised hooves. The calming supplements they provided have also helped ease our rescues through stressful transitions, allowing them to adjust more comfortably to their new environments. Thanks to SmartPak’s support, we’re able to give our horses the care they need to heal, grow, and thrive on their journey toward a brighter future."

Gratitude and Community Support
This initiative wouldn’t be possible without our incredible team, our partners, and most importantly, you—our customers. Without your referrals and suggestions, we wouldn’t have nearly as many incredible connections to help support. Together, we’re making a tangible difference in the lives of horses and the people who care for them.
“As a small, and one of only a handful of equine rescues and sanctuaries in the State of Wyoming, sponsorship of our small rescue and sanctuary is paramount. Our thanks and appreciation to SmartPak will never begin to scratch the surface for all they've done for us and the horses we are in charge of caring for. Thank you SmartPak, for everything.”
