Tampa, Florida- HR Puf-n-Stuf owned and ridden by Kristen Petzold was the lucky winner of the Donne & Cavalli High Score Musical Freestyle Championships at the Arabian Horse Association of Florida's (AHAF) Annual Thanksgiving Show. Petzold won the Donne & Cavalli embroidered cooler with a score of 64.167% for their third level musical freestyle ridden to Beatles music played by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops.

Donne and Cavalli (Italian for woman and horses), produces high quality botanical skin care products for equestrian athletes. Donna Mastrianni, Master Esthetician, equestrian and president of Donne and Cavalli, developed her skin care line with essential oils that were soothing and appealing to horses. The products quickly became popular with equestrians, who claimed that their horses liked the smell of the products on their skin. Donne and Cavalli sponsors multiple National Champion dressage trainer, Greta Wrigley, "So supporting the AHAF Thanksgiving Show was a natural tie in,â" said Mastrianni.

Wrigley was on hand to present the Donne & Cavalli High Score cooler with Mastrianni. It was serendipitous that Wrigley's own student won the award. "I could not have won this without Greta's guidance. She has brought out our best and she really added so much to the freestyleâ", said an excited Petzold at the awards ceremony. Wrigley was especially proud of her student, " I was really pleased with Kristen's fun medley of Beatles music and felt she really rode to the changes of music like a danceâ", said Wrigley.

The AHAF Fall Show is one of several equestrian events that Donne and Cavalli has supported in an effort to give back to the equestrian community. The company has made product donations to the Dressage Derby Series Shows, Equus Foundation's Fete Cheval, the Dressage for Kids Festival, the Palm Beach Cancer Society's Denim and Pearls fundraiser, the Fredrica Academy's People, Places & Pets Auction and the Moon Dance Equestrian Gala with Debbie McDonald to support the Three Gaits Therapeutic Horsemanship Program. " We will continue to do as much as we can to support our equestrian clientele in 2007 as wellâ" said Mastrianni.
