For dressage fans, the 2016 show offers a mix of performance and education.

 

Dressage at Devon is pleased to host a United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) dressage exam for Senior (S) judges. Theses judge candidates have ridden at the Grand Prix level, and have qualified themselves for the program by judging extensively over many years. They have spent the past 12 months in an intensive training program apprentice judging with our countries best dressage judges. Wish them luck with the live judging exam they will take during the show on Friday and Saturday. The examiners for the testing will be Jayne Ayers and Natalie Lamping.

 

Additional opportunities include the Young Handler Seminar and, for the younger equestrian set, the Dressage Explorers program, taking place October 2, will offer educational games, a scavenger hunt, a meet-and-greet with the Tempel Lipizzans.

 

Also on Sunday, the Delaware Valley Combined Training Association will perform with a 12-horse “quadrille,” showing off extensive training of horses and riders.
