Draper Equine Therapy Booth at World Equestrian Games Will Be “The Place” To Be Thanks to Draper’s Educational Days

Thanks to the exciting, star-studded and informative educational opportunities offered at the Draper Equine Therapy booth during the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, the Draper booth will be “the place” to be during the Games. Draper Equine Therapy, makers of therapeutic products for horses and riders, will host Draper Educational Days at their booth #119 in the Trade Show Village during the World Equestrian Games, September 25 through October 10.

"We are really excited about hosting Draper Educational Days and the best part is that we will have something for everyone,” said Kat Wojtylak, Product Manager of Draper Equine Therapy. “If you have always wanted to speak with New York Times bestselling mystery writer Tami Hoag, then you have the opportunity to come and meet her during her author session. United States Four-In-Hand Champion Chester Weber will also be taking part in a question, answer and autograph session as will Canadian Olympic event rider Selena O’Hanlon.”

Visitors to WEG who are interested in technical or educational equestrian advice will find the mini-seminars at the Draper Booth to be the key to learning more on a variety of topics. “We will have a wide range of experts presenting and sharing information, from Stephen Teichman, USET Farrier whose visit will be sponsored by Plum Shade Farm, and giving a presentation on Hoof Care, to Olivia Martin from Performance Feeding, Inc., who will do a presentation on Equine Nutrition, to sessions on health, dressage, show jumping, sports psychology and the list continues,” Wojtylak said. “We’ve even teamed up with Palm Beach Equine and their nationally acclaimed staff of veterinarians, as well as U.S. Equestrian Insurance, a new company that will hit the ground running with their innovative takes in the insurance industry.”

The Draper Canine Therapy line will also be represented at the booth. “Horse and dog lovers go hand in hand and we have many riders who not only use our equine products but our canine products as well,” Wojtylak said. “During WEG we will have West Paw Designs offering their luxury eco-conscious cat and dog toys at our booth, and all of the fabric on the toys is made by our parent company Draper Knitting. The proceeds from the dog and cat toys will benefit our Draper Philanthropy Project, so of course I am going to encourage everyone to come to our booth and learn more.”

Michele Hundt, artist and co-owner of the upscale Wellington dressage boutique, Sho Clothes, will have a painting on display at the Draper booth. Photographer Kristen Hrdlicka of Three Stride Studios will have her photography on display as well, with half of the proceeds from her photography benefiting Draper’s Philanthropic Project.

“This is the first time the World Equestrian Games will be held outside of Europe and they are estimating 600,000 ticket holders will be attending,” Wojtylak said. “It will be a coming together of all equestrian disciplines from the entire world and Draper is very excited to be part of it. Our products are used by riders in all disciplines and we are really looking forward to reaching out to the equestrian community through our Educational Days.”
