USEA’s Official Supplement Feeding System, SmartPak, has released a funny video full of funny stuff riders say. Sit back and enjoy the video below then visit SmartPak.com for many of the products that you see featured.
“At SmartPak, we have a saying — "we get you because we are you." We’ve got riders of every age, from every discipline, from all across the country who’ve come together with one goal — supporting healthy horses and happy riders. So when it comes to life in the barn, we know a thing or two. We hope you enjoy this silly little montage, celebrating the things we hear (and sometimes say) in the barn.”
The horses in trainer Joe Davis’ barn at Horseshoe Indianapolis don’t just get standard hay in their nets each day. Throughout the afternoon, Davis or one of his employees opens the HayGain machine that sits at the end of his shed row and pulls out a warm, beautiful-smelling bale of freshly-steamed hay to fill their nets.
