Kelly Jones and Rachael Barnes Win Draper Therapies® Best Foot Forward Awards
Wellington, FL (March 29, 2013) – Draper Therapies®, a leading company providing holistic therapy products for animals and humans, was excited to present 17 year old, Rachael Barnes of Buffalo, New York, and 22 year old Kelly Jones of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania with the Best Foot Forward Award. This award recognizes outstanding riders who demonstrate positive attitudes during the shows, and both Jones and Barnes were seen throughout the show, before during and after their rides, with smiles always on their faces.
Barnes, who was previously named Champion Children’s Jumper earlier this season, showed the horse Mac Miller in the equitation class. “All the people I’m surrounded with are really great people and fun to be around,” she explained about the reason behind her smiles. Barnes trains with Nikko Ritter who also shares his student’s positive attitude, “I just try to stay happy,” he said, “and if you can’t be happy here, where can you be?!” Barnes added that she is excited to try out the new Draper Therapy saddle pad she won on Mac Miller and her other mount, Camona, during the rest of the season.
