Lily Dymant’s love for horses started when she was just seven years old, spending her youth riding, competing, and working at barns. After a 15-year break, life brought her back to the barn post-pandemic, where she rediscovered her passion for horses in a deeper way. Her bond with Clifford, her own horse with a tough past, became the inspiration behind her journey. With time, trust, and care, Clifford began to thrive—a transformation that fueled Lily’s next adventure.
Frustrated by the lack of healthy treat options for horses, Lily started experimenting with recipes to create something she could feel good about giving Clifford. Many treats on the market were full of molasses and grains, which can cause metabolic issues in horses. What started as a labor of love turned into Lucky Chestnut, a brand Lily officially launched in the summer of 2024. Combining her lifelong love of horses and her desire to make a difference, The Lucky Chestnut creates treats that horses love and owners trust.
When it came time to package her heart-shaped treats, Lily partnered with GCI to bring her vision to life.
As a first-time customer of professional printing, she described the process as clear, seamless, and supportive, from reviewing proofs to receiving the final product. “The team at GCI gave me invaluable advice and made sure I knew what to expect at every step,” Lily shared. From reviewing proofs to selecting materials, GCI provided the guidance she needed to create standout packaging for her brand.
Today, Lucky Chestnut’s treats shine in labeled pouches that help Lily grow her business at trade shows and horse competitions. For Lily, Clifford’s transformation through love and care serves as the heart of her brand. With GCI’s guidance and support, she’s created a brand that not only reflects her passion but also brings joy to horses and their owners alike.
