The Dixon Oval grandstands were packed for the final under-the-lights class at Devon for 2024 as riders faced off in Bryn Mawr Hospital’s $25,000 Devon Fall Classic sponsored by Main Line Health.
Caitlin Boyle rode two mounts in the class, ultimately taking Beyaert Farm INC’s 2013 Belgian Warmblood gelding, Navaar (Tonixe X Just Nice Van Het Indihof) to the jump-off.
The duo, who have been partnered together since last November, have been working at stepping up into the CSI4* level, and took on Saturday night’s track with confidence.
Having competed extensively at The Devon Horse Show as a junior, Caitlin has collected many Devon blue ribbons in the equitation, including the coveted R. W. “Ronnie” Mutch Equitation Championship in 2014, but never competed in the jumpers.
Saturday night’s victory with Navaar marked her first big win in the Dixon Oval as a professional show jumper.
Juniors and amateur riders also took to the Dixon Oval in the afternoon for their own highlight event of the week, the $7,500 Show Jumping Hall of Fame 1.45m Junior/Amateur Jumper Class sponsored by Jaguar Land Rover Main Line. Ultimately it was James Leone who captured the win with Galliano W as the final horse-and-rider pair in the class.
