Gift cards are available in any amount from $15 to $1,000, and you can include a personalized message.

Here’s what some SmartPak customers have to say about the cards:

“Always makes a great gift for your horsey friends! SmartPak has a great selection, with great prices, fast shipping, and fantastic customer service–I never order from anywhere else, and this is absolutely the first place that I would encourage my friends to shop!” –Persian (Cincinnati, OH)

“I recently purchased a SmartPak gift certificate for a long-time friend who is a hunter professional. For the ‘person who has everything,’ the best solution was a gift certificate so he could purchase those things he truly needed. Because of the excellent quality of all the SmartPak products I have purchased in the past, I knew a gift certificate was something he could use and enjoy.” –Ryan (Atlanta, GA)

“Every horseperson wants to see one of these in their in-box!” –RLB1025 (Florida)

Check out the latest handy how-to video from our friends at SmartPak!

From SmartPak’s YouTube channel:

Wrapping a horse’s legs is something that all horse owners may need to do at one time or another, so knowing how to put polo wraps on a horse, how to bandage a horse’s legs for trailering or shipping, and how to wrap a horse’s legs with quilts are important skills to have. Plus, knowing which bandage or wrap to use – polo wraps, quilted leg wraps, no bow wraps, standing bandages, shipping bandages or travel bandages – is essential knowledge, too.

Watch as Dr. Lydia Gray gives common sense tips on how to apply leg wraps to a horse.
