I am looking forward to another great season and a long-standing relationship with HITS."

"SmartPak simplifies the process of administering several different supplements and doses to one horse or many,” commented Lisa Engel, Account Executive Corporate Sponsorship. “SmartPak is the solution for all horsemen, especially those involved in a heavy competition schedule on the road.
