Top Riders Prevail on Day One of the Zada Enterprises, LLC Florida Dressage Classic

The Zada Enterprises, LLC Florida Dressage Classic got under way today with a nice mix of winners. Many of the tried and true topped the score board and few upcoming young horses made their way to the top today.

Arlene (Tuny) Page’s Danish Hanoverian gelding, Wild One, won the $1250 FEI Intermediaire II class this morning with a solid score of 68.130%. Tuny told us she schooled the fancy 9-year-old gelding thoroughly the day before the class. “He was a little tired today, but stayed focused and on the aids. He has a lot more brilliance, but he needs more mileage. I’d say he is about three months away from being able to perform to his full potential in the show ring, but I was really proud of him. I just love this horse,” gushed Page. The judges seemed to love Wild One today, too. Second went to Marco Bernal on Scorpio with a 67.236%, followed by Nancy Later on Alexis-D with a score of 66.911%.
