"Your dreams are my dreams now, and we’re going to go to Devon. Let’s do it."
—Katherin Hewitt
For Lindsay Hafer, simply hearing her name announced inside the Dixon Oval was enough to bring tears to her eyes.
“And a new leader there with Lindsay and Capital Star“—those words from the announcer, during her very first class at the Devon Fall Classic, are etched in her memory forever. “I was only the tenth to go, but it felt like I was on top of the world,” Hafer recalled. “I never thought that sentence would be about me. My first time in the Dixon Oval, and I was leading—it was surreal.”
Hafer, who grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has always known what showing at Devon represents. “Even if you’re not horsey, you know the Devon Horse Show,” she explained. “It’s iconic—the white and blue grandstands, the Dixon Oval, the energy. My whole life, I watched friends and pros ride here, and I always thought, I need to be in there someday.“
