Sponsored Barrel Racers Earn Wins in South Dakota and Texas

“I love to watch this horse; he just kind of bends his body around the barrel. It looks like you couldn’t hit a barrel with this horse if you tried,” exclaimed the Cowboy Channel commentators as Dona Kay Rule and High Valor turned around the second barrel at the Gold Buckle Beer ProRodeo Tour Finale in Rapid City, South Dakota. The pair sped around the barrels to win the first round and the average as the ProRodeo season begins to wrap up for the year.

Dona relies on Race Recovery™ from KER Targeted Nutrition to keep Valor feeling his best while competing. “It’s really good for those of us that don’t have 20 days between races,” she said. “It’s made a huge difference in this horse this year. Last year, we had a lot of thinness and unthriftiness, but he’s happy and healthy this year.” She also feeds Nano-Q10™ to help Valor recover from strenuous work.

Meanwhile, several states away, another Kentucky Equine Research-sponsored barrel racer, Kelley Carrington French, was racing around the barrels with her mare, Slice of Peachfame. “She was a rock star again today. I’m so blessed to be her person. She was first in the Senior and fourth in the Open at the Hayden’s Help Paying It Forward Barrel Race in Waco, Texas,” she said in a Facebook post. “Stoli N Sweet got a little piece of the pie himself, placing eighth in the 2D.”

Kelley feeds her horses KER RE-LEVE®. “I attribute much of this success to the switch to KER RE-LEVE. This feed has allowed my horses to compete at an intense level and schedule without experiencing any more tying-up episodes,” she said.

Kelley also uses Nano-E®, a unique, rapidly bioavailable source of natural-source vitamin E that is a vital antioxidant for muscle health, and Restore® SR, an electrolyte with a proprietary slow-release mechanism that allows sodium to be released gradually into the gastrointestinal tract for sustained absorption.
