founder

Victoria Goody

"My passion for horses and ponies stems from very early days as a little person just wanting to groom, love and be around them.  This has continued to entwine itself in so many avenues of equestrianism as the years have passed. With a background in marketing and sales as well as being involved as a rider, instructor, business trader, and brand owner, I have been fortunate to steer my business interests around my love of horses.

The day- to-day practicalities of horse ownership gave me the inspiration behind the brand as well as the passion to bring kind and humane designs for grooming and tidying.

When I’m not in the office I can be found in the stables, riding, garden creativity and exploring the countryside."

They all mean so much to me, but for me personally it would have to be the Smart Tails rake.  This was the first product and reason I started the brand.  To bring a kinder way to tidy tails and manes.

"I have worked in marketing for over a decade. My passion has always been to ride and compete, so it's been a joy to join the Smart Grooming team, where horses and their welfare are at the centre of everything! My main responsibilities are to spread the word of Smart Grooming, so that people can always find the best grooming products for their horses. "

"My love for horses and all animals was in me from birth having been lucky enough to grow up on a mixed farm where my father bred horses for our family and being the youngest daughter, I had a string of the most amazing ponies and horses handed down to me. My passion continues alongside a varied career of system led roles where I have a keen eye for attention to detail to deliver a high level of service. Between being a pony club mum of two and enjoying my own horse."

"I graduated from Harper Adams University in 2023 after studying Animal Health and Welfare. I bought my first pony Pie whilst studying at university, and enjoy hacking around the beautiful Devon countryside with her. When I saw an opening come up at Smart Grooming I jumped at the opportunity to combine my hobby with work."

"I went to Hartpury college for 2 years to study equine management and equitation so it’s such a joy to continue my management in welfare with Smart Grooming. I have been riding and competing in the showjumping ring from a young age, when you don’t find me at work I’m away competing with my team of show jumpers."
