The Dutta Corporation Continues to Support the Dressage Community at AGDF 7
Tim Dutta and The Dutta Corporation are proud to announce another year of leading sponsorship at the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival (AGDF). The Dutta Corporation, longtime sponsors of the event, have continued to increase their presence each year at AGDF and will be the presenting sponsors of Week 7’s CDI 4* competition beginning February 19, 2015.
Committed to supporting success in the equine industry, longtime horseman and CEO Tim Dutta and The Dutta Corporation have become premier leaders in the equine transportation business, not only in the United States, but around the globe. “We always make a priority to give back to this industry in absolutely any way that we can. It is in the fabric of this company to support those who support this sport,” said Dutta. “We work very closely with our clients and are dedicated to ensuring the best possible experience for each and every equine partner we have the honor to travel with.”
The Dutta Corporation has witnessed the incredible expansion of AGDF over the past four years and are looking forward to the future of dressage with a permanent winter home in Wellington, FL. “We will maintain and grow our support of the international classes and in general the sport of dressage at the highest levels,” commented Dutta. “AGDF has been able to create a venue and competition that attracts the best horse and rider combinations in the world. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to sponsor an event that gives us the ability to communicate with customers and see the best dressage the world has to offer.”
“The growth at this competition has just been spectacular. It is so incredible for the sport and the equestrian industry as a whole,” said Dutta, whose wife, Susan Dutta, competes in the Large Tour classes at AGDF with their own Currency DC. “It has grown so quickly, and it is exceptionally organized and maintained. It is not just one of the best shows in North America, but a truly world-class event.”
As the scale of competition at AGDF continues to grow, The Dutta Corporation feels a responsibility to give back to those who have made the competition possible for riders across the world. “AGDF will continue to expand into one of the most world-renowned circuits in the world under the leadership of Equestrian Sport Productions (ESP). Our goals and beliefs fall perfectly in line with those at ESP,” explained Dutta. “We both support those who support us and always deliver a quality product that has no short-cuts, ensuring absolute attention to detail and a constant pursuit of excellence.

Havensafe Farm Looks Forward to Supporting the CDI3* at AGDF 7
Havensafe Farm and owner Betsy Juliano are proud to support the 2015 Adequan® Global Dressage Festival (AGDF) through their sponsorship of the CDI 3* at Week 7, which runs February 19-22.
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.”
“Mark Bellissimo and the leadership team at Equestrian Sport Productions (ESP) continue to implement innovative ways to include everyone involved in this sport. The owners, riders, trainers, horses, and grooms; everyone is acknowledged and that is what makes this event so great. What ESP does so well, is not only their skill of organizing world-class competitions, but also their incredible ability to celebrate success, and that is what truly brings the community together,” explained Juliano.
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.”
