Photo 2: Arlene “Tuny” Page These days, Tuny Page can be found full-time in the little white ring as a professional dressage rider and trainer, but in 1980, she was getting top ribbons at the intermediate level with Jack Be Nimble. In a year-end review, Sally O’Connor wrote about Page: “Each year I try to include at least one rider who has still not really reached the top but is showing promise for the future. Arlene has been riding in the junior competition for sometime and has graduated into the intermediate levels with Jack-Be-Nimble. She did well and placed fourth at Radnor in the open intermediate, having won a section of the National Preliminary Championships at Chesterland earlier in the fall. A student of Tad Coffin, ‘Tuny’ has been able to straighten out Jack-Be-Nimble’s propensity for falling and they may well be a force to reckon with in the new season.” Photo by Cappy Jackson |
