Palm Beach, FL , September 3, 2014 - The CPI is delighted to announce that Michael Page will be serving as judge for the 2015 CPI Horse Show, which will be held January 16th - 18th, 2015, at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in Palm Beach, Florida. Originally from North Salem, NY, Mr. Page has represented both the United States and Canada in international
competition, including three Olympic Games and three Pan American games. With his most well-known mount, USEA Hall of Fame horse The Grasshopper, Mr. Page took home individual gold medals at the Pan American Games in 1959 and 1963. He was a member of the U.S. teams that won gold in 1963 and 1967, and he earned himself an individual bronze medal in 1967. At the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, he placed fourth individually and earned team silver with The Grasshopper. At the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, he earned individual bronze and team silver on Foster.
Prior to receiving international acclaim, Mr. Page won the AHSA Medal Finals in 1956 and trained at the French Cavalry School in Saumur. His expertise in training and coaching is equally impressive. He coached the Canadian three-day team at the 1976 Olympics and served as Chef d'Equipe at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, the 1990 World Championships, and 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.
Mr.Page regularly provides his expertise as an official, having previously judged the AHSA/ASPCA National Equitation Finals seven times and the Intercollegiate National Finals four times. He mostly recently judged the NCEA National Finals in 2014. His commitment to furthering the sport is evident in his previous service as chair of the AHSA Equitation Committee, AHSA Nominating Committee, and USET Nominating Committee, and as Director of the USET.
Mr. Page is continually in high demand as a clinician, trainer, and judge and we are honored to have him share his knowledge and experience with the young riders at the CPI.
