Belinda Trussell won the $15,000 Wellington Dressage Classic CDI at the Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, FLA, on April 12th. She took the Third Level Test 2 with a score of 68.659% aboard Biasini. As a result, the pair also won the World Development Group Award, which is presented to the winner of selected classes throughout the winter dressage circuit in south Florida and is sponsored by World Development Group.
Trussell said she was pleased with Biasini’s performance at the show. “He’s a super talented young horse, but he just needs to mature,” she said, adding that he was a bit spooky during his tests. “Our homework is to work on being brave.”
Trussell, who is based at Oakcrest Farm in Stouffville, Ontario, trains with Robert Dover while in Wellington and with Christilot Boylen throughout the year.
David Zinaman, Director of Real Estate Sales and Marketing for the World Development Group, congratulated Trussell on her success at the show. “Belinda is a world-class rider and we were thrilled to present her with the World Development Group,” he said. “We love presenting the World Development Group Award at the Global Dressage Festival as we are the builder’s of the Global Dressage Festival facility. We are a premier developer of the Equestrian Lifestyle, and the Global Dressage Festival encompasses everything an equestrian could dream of in one location. Belinda loved the facility, as do so many riders we have heard from, and we look forward to helping riders, owners and trainers build their own equestrian lifestyles.”
