President’s Message



The buzz is growing. And while we haven't seen a hint of fall yet, it's right around the corner. The planning stages are over and we're in the thick of things getting ready for 2018 Dressage at Devon. There's so much that's new, it's hard to know where to begin.

The Breed Division has added pony-only classes that will "mirror" the current breed classes. The schedule has changed for the Breed Division as well, to provide a safer atmosphere for breeders and their horses.

The Parade of Breeds is back! On Tuesday night the winners of 23 Individual Breed Classes will parade in the Dixon following the classes. The Parade will conclude with a Wine and Cheese reception, sponsored by Stoltzfus Feed and Supply and Buckeye Nutrition.

Read on for even more.

Warmly,

Lori Kaminski

President, Dressage at Devon
