The 2015 season of AGDF is already considered an enormous success, but Juliano and Havensafe Farm are also excited for the continued opportunity to see dressage riders competing at the highest levels of the sport. “It has always been my practice to support as many events for dressage riders as possible. It became clear to me when Equestrian Sport Productions started this show that it would become a venue and circuit that would have national and international significance to our community,” said Juliano. “I’m dedicated to supporting the sport and the education of riders. These competitions allow dressage riders, both national and international, to come full circle and have the opportunity to showcase their training.”
Not only has Juliano been impressed with the expansion of the show, but its continued commitment to quality in every aspect. “Each year we come back to this circuit the systems are better. The management, the staff, the service, it all continues to excel and it allows people from Europe and other areas around the world to see that this is an elite, world-class show. It is always about growing, but it is growing with quality that really separates you from the rest, and that is exactly what we continue to see at AGDF.”
Not only does Juliano commit to ensuring the success of AGDF each year, but she also is a generous sponsor of the Great Charity Challenge, presented by Fidelity Investments® (GCC), an event hosted and organized by ESP, which raised another $1.5 million for Palm Beach County charities in 2015. The event took place last week at Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. “For two years in a row I’ve been a sponsor of the GCC, and I am so proud to be affiliated with that cause,” Juliano expressed. “Mark Bellissimo and his daughter, Paige, continue to make efforts to give back to the local community, and I think it is a truly brilliant effort.”
