DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — Barrel racing is a tough sport and the competitors not only have to be fast, they also have to look good.
One company can offer the latest styles that are made to look great and keep them comfortable. Rocket Donkey is based in Davidson County and the woman behind the company, Kennedy Smith, has been a barrel racer for years.
She was able to combine her favorite sport with her love of fashion to create a clothing line. Smith says they use fabrics that are breathable and can keep competitors cool, even during the hot summer months. They also offer a full line of related gear, like hats and luggage that match some of their most popular colors and patterns.
As for the catchy name, Rocket Donkey is a term that some competitors use for their horses because they have to be fast and agile to compete. Smith says it gives everyone an opportunity to look great while they are in the ring, and follow their company motto – Ride Fast, Take Chances. Their showroom on Old Highway 52 in Lexington is open by appointment, or find them online at rocket-donkey.com.
