Dear Claire,
I am sorry for the long delay in sending you this thank-you for
attending and being part of our new store grand opening the week
of April 19th, 2004. Our customers are very excited about your
product (Guardian Horse Bedding). We have carried many of the
different pellet beddings over the last 4 years, but have found
that Guardian is by far the best we have carried. Our customers
tell of better break down of the pellets, low dust, and the way
it holds the odors down in the stalls. We not only get this
information from our customers, but from personal use as well.
As you have probably noticed, not only our truck load orders
have increased, but the use and sale of Swift Pick has gone up
as well. This is a great product not only year round, but
especially in the winter. Again many thanks for helping us and
the continued service you have given us.
Sincerely,
Gary Metzger

Claire,
I wanted to drop a note to let you know what our customers are
saying about Guardian. As you know, we carried other brands of
pellet bedding in the past, and our customers are extremely
happy with Guardian.
The pellet bedding does not require much room for storage, a
good thing for many of our customers, because they don’t have a
lot of extra room in their barns. It is highly absorbent and
they all report that it has greatly reduced their disposal.
We have been very happy with the sales of Swift Pick Shavings.
The size is so uniform, almost dust free, but still absorbs
well. This is exactly what our customers tell us they are
looking for and we can now provide it. Other brands seem to come
out with finer particles, but there is always a dust issue then.
I don’t know how you do it, but you have been able to provide a
uniform, small, absorbent shaving but without the dust.
Carrying Guardian bedding along with traditional bedding has set
us aside from other retailers and provides our customers with
the product they are looking for.
