president uses talent to change young lives
FORT WORTH, Texas—At only 18 years of
age, American Junior Paint Horse Association (AjPHA) President
Banks Ready is beyond his years. Through a combination of
southern charm, wit and impeccable manners, this young man from
Hernando, Miss., has proven he has the ability to inspire youth
and adults alike to reach goals they never knew they could
achieve. While only mid-way through his first term as president,
Ready has been able to raise $60,000 to make dreams come true
for 12 children with catastrophic illnesses.
