At SmartPak, we count ourselves lucky to work at a place where letters from customers include pictures of ponies. We recently received one of those letters from a rider named Linda, who was remembering her horse, Tuffy, who had recently passed away. She included a poem, written from Tuffy’s perspective, and we were so touched by it that we read it with our horses, and want to share it with you, too.

Awwwww, that was so sweet… so sorry for the loss of Tuffy and the many horses we have all loved and lost throughout our lives…thank you for sharing, Linda and SmartPakers! ♡♡♡ ….please pass the kleenex…
So sweet. I to recently lost my trusty trail horse Chance. It is a perfect way to say goodbye to a good friend.❤️
Tomorrow, I have to put my dog down. His back legs have given out due to his old age. Have spent the weekend crying. Then I opened this poem up…and cried some more. Over the years, I have had to let go of many horses, dogs, and cats due to old age, cancer, seizures, etc…it is never easy because WE LOVE!! It hurts but I will never quit LOVING!! Keep hugging, keep holding, keep riding, but always keep loving! Thank you all Smartpakers! Thank you to all the critters in my life and the God who made them.

Very touching and so true. The animals were made to be our companions. And our family. I love all animals and grieve when mine pass on. They make every day special.
Sorry for your loss! That was a wonderful memorial to a wonderful horse! RIP Tuffy!
OMG! I cried during and after this . Loved the montage though
What! I could have written that!! I didn’t know there were that many people who talk like that to their horses.
I had to put my horse down on Saturday and this came to my email on Tuesday. It was absolutely PERFECT timing. Thank you for the comfort. My Birdie was also a long time SmartPak girl. She was 27 years old. She was my partner for 21 years.
Hi Cheryl, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss! Birdie was lucky to have a fantastic owner like you taking the very best care of her. We’re glad to hear that this video was able to offer you some comfort, and please know that our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. – SmartPaker Lexi
