Point Two Pro Air Jacket to be Featured During NBC Rolex Kentucky Broadcast
Innovative New Tool Available at SmartPak Equine Offers Riders Additional Protection

The Point Two ‘Pro Air’ Jacket, previously sold only in Europe, has revolutionized safety in the equine world by combining the latest airbag technology within a lightweight and comfortable jacket. The ‘Pro Air” available at SmartPak is the first inflatable jacket for the equine market sold in the U.S. and is their newest design - faster than the previous versions available in Europe.

"We are thrilled to be able to bring this innovative piece of safety equipment to our customers,” said Rebecca Minard, founder of SmartPak Equine. “The Point Two ‘Pro Air’ jacket isn’t just for four star competitors; anyone can benefit from the additional measure of safety it provides, whether you’re competing at training level, schooling at a local horse trials, or just enjoying an afternoon on the trails.”
Named to Inc. Magazine’s list of the 500 fastest growing private companies for two straight years and the only equine company ever named to the list, SmartPak Equine made their debut in the equine health care market with their flagship innovation, the SmartPak™, providing name-brand supplements and pharmaceuticals in custom, daily-dose packages, and has since dramatically expanded their product line to include an ever growing list of riding apparel and horse tack and equipment.
