Kelley Carrington French Finishes Second in First Major WCRA Rodeo of the Year

Kentucky Equine Research-sponsored rider Kelley Carrington French and Slice of Peachfame were on fire in the final round of the WCRA Rodeo Corpus Christi when a sprung shoe cost them the lead.

Rodeo Corpus Christi was the first major 2021 rodeo for the World Champions Rodeo Alliance and the first competition in the WCRA 2021 Triple Crown of Rodeo. The competition was fierce with only the top 64 pairs on the WCRA leaderboard invited to participate. Kelley and Slice flew through the preliminary and progressive rounds, and finished in the top three of the showdown, qualifying them for the Triple Crown of Rodeo round. As Slice galloped toward the third barrel, she pulled a shoe, causing her to stumble and finish less than a half-second behind the leader.

“A slight mishap approaching the third may have cost her the win, but her heart and grit kept her in the game and she ended up second. I’m so blessed to be her person,” Kelley said in a Facebook post after the event.

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.
