Tuny Page Wins Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award At Florida Dressage Classic CDI-W At Global Dressage Festival

Wellington, FL (March 21, 2012)– International Dressage rider Tuny Page competed her Hanoverian gelding Wild One at the $50,000 Florida Dressage Classic CDI-W at the Global Dressage Festival, riding away with top honors in the FEI Grand Prix Open class with a score of 68.777%. Page, who rode out of the ring with a smile on her face, also took home the Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award during the prestigious competition held at the new state-of-the-art Global Dressage Festival show grounds in Wellington.
 

Tuny Page Wins Premier Equestrian Award

As one of the United States’ top dressage riders, Page is a fixture in the FEI Grand Prix arena. In addition to her award-winning resume she is also known for her positive spirit and helpful attitude. “Tuny is a legend in the show ring, but her overall positive attitude is what makes her a rider that people want to be around. Premier Equestrian is very honored to award Tuny with the Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award. I can’t think of another rider who is more deserving,” said Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian. 

Page was thrilled to win the Sportsmanship Award and thanked Premier for sponsoring the award. “The secret to being a good sport is being grateful for every opportunity you have, that’s what it comes down to,” Page said. “Sometimes things don’t go your way, but that’s part of life and it can be challenging. We need to rise to those challenges, which helps you to be more empathetic, especially when you or your friends are going through difficult times. If you are grateful for every opportunity you have, it certainly makes you more joyous when you or your friends win or have great scores or great results.”

Page is the owner of Stillpoint Farm in Wellington, a farm known for having a thriving training atmosphere. A bevy of world-class trainers operate out of Stillpoint, making it one of the most unique facilities in the country. In 2006, Page was the United States Freestyle Champion and the United States Representative to the FEI World Cup. She was also an alternate to the 2006 World Equestrian Games Team and in 2007 was the United States representative at CHIO Aachen. Page serves the dressage community on the USET Foundation Board of Trustees and the USEF High Performance and Active Athlete Committee.

As the winner of the Sportsmanship Award, Page won a gift certificate for $100 worth of Premier products. “Premier is really a great company and I am so excited to win the gift certificate,” she said. Premier Equestrian, LLC, a leading supplier of dressage arenas, horse jumps, arena footing and stable accessories, has an active presence on the South Florida dressage circuit. “We sponsor the Sportsmanship Award at the dressage shows at the Wellington dressage shows and at the Winter Equestrian Festival. We also supplied all of the dressage arenas and dressage letters at the Global Dressage Festival,” Zorn said. “It has been great to hear so many positive comments about the Global Dressage Festival facility. Premier is honored to have provided the rings for this amazing, new international venue.”

“I am so happy to be here and so happy to have two fun horses to ride in the Grand Prix,” Koford said, adding that he wanted to thank Premier Equestrian for recognizing his sportsmanship. “You want a good outcome when you compete, but it is important to realize that we work so hard to do this that we need to have a good time regardless. It doesn’t get much better than this.”

Portable Horse Jumps - Jumps for Horses

Premier Ultimate Jump Poles

The Ultimate Horse Jump Pole is made with 100% shatter and UV-resistant titanium vinyl. This is not water pipe! These poles are made especially for the equine industry. Our material contains flex polymers, and have a wall thickness of .31" (3/8"). They will not shatter when impacted, and have come with a lifetime guarantee against breakage. Ultimate Horse Jump poles are the same weight as wood but are completely maintenance free!

Premier Ultimate Jump Pole is shatter and impact resistant, safer and stronger than any material used today. Guaranteed against breakage.

Premier Natural Wood Horse Jump Poles

All of our wood poles are milled from high quality natural pine, giving you a straight, perfectly round diameter. They are available in 3.5" diameter in 10' and 12' lengths. Mix and match any of our poles 1-800-611-6109.

Premier Equestrian Products are Better!

If you plan to spend more than $1000 on new equestrian products, it will be worth your time to read this page.




We use only the finest building materials.
There are big differences in PVC. The PVC we use to construct all of our products was designed for use in home construction as door and window frames. This type of PVC is very different from regular fencing vinyl. It can take almost twice the impact without breaking. It is stronger in cold weather and it is rated higher for UV protection.

Why is this important? Because the sun's ultra-violet rays have a dramatic impact on polymers.
Organic polymers, including vinyl, do not suffer electrochemical corrosion (like rusting), as metals do. Instead, plastics that are not treated with UV protection undergo a certain degree of degradation caused by simple outdoor weathering--temperature variations, moisture, sunlight or ultra-violet rays, oxidation, biological attack, and other environmental elements.

Among those, the most common type of degradation is caused by ultra-violet rays. Of the total radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface, about 5-6% of light is in the UV region of the spectrum. When a polymer such as vinyl is subjected to UV light, the wavelength energy of the ultra-violet light corresponds to a particular bond energy in the polymer chain and causes a breakdown of the chemical bonds. This causes degradation. The surface color fades and yellows and becomes dry and brittle and has a chalky finish.

If you are going to invest in any kind of polymer (llike vinyl) that will be exposed to sunlight, ensure that it has been treated with or contains some sort of UV inhibitor.

We use only 100 percent UV resistant polyvinyl chloride which contains titanium. Titanium protects vinyl from the sun's damaging rays. In fact, our poly vinyl chloride products are protected so well, that we offer a twenty-five year guarantee against the effects of UV damage.

Our material costs a bit more than what our competition uses but the extended life and enhanced safety is where we put our money.


Our products are built to last
Take a look at our PolyPro Jump Line. We haven’t skimped a bit. From the jump-cup height markings to the molded polyetheline jump feet you will see a level of quality not previously known in the world of PVC jumps. Our PolyPro jumps are wider, have more fill, are more durable, and are more more stable. Our jumps are screwed together, not snapped in or welded, and built to last.

Our dressage line has the same quality of construction. Whether it's our post-and-rail, multi-rail, or our ever-popular block-and-rail arenas you will find details that serve to perform better, last longer, and look sharper than any other product of it’s kind. Our flower boxes, exclusive in the industry, are built for lifetime service. Our block-and rail arenas are pre-measured making set-up a snap.

It’s the details that make the difference. Some are subtle while others are glaring. When comparing products look closely at the details and you will see that our products will undoubtedly perform better and last longer.


 
Outstanding customer service
All of our employees are horse savvy. Most of them compete in jumpers and dressage. We understand what our customers are about. This translates to higher customer satisfaction throughout the sales cycle. From your first call to when you receive your product we strive to keep you informed, give you value, and exceed your expectations.
Pricing & value
Most of our competitions’ pricing is for one jump standard, not a pair. Who has ever purchased just one standard? We find this kind of marketing a bit deceptive. Our prices are stated clearly and all of our products are described fully. We do this because we shop too and when we make a purchase, especially a large-ticket item, we want the most information about what we are buying. We want you to have that too.
100% Customer satisfaction guarantee
Believe it or not sometimes we goof up. Yes, we are not perfect. This is why we offer a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. We want happy customers. Happy customers help our business grow, so we go to extra lengths to make sure you are satisfied. If you are not satisfied we will refund your money.
