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.

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.
