A USEF Heritage Event and the first FEI World Cup Qualifier of the qualifying year, Dressage at Devon welcomes top riders, horses, and judges from around the nation and across the globe to compete in both the Breed and Performance Divisions. Following the Breed Division, the Performance Division will kick off on Friday, September 29th. Throughout the competition, Dressage at Devon is proud to offer countless Educational and Specialty Events. The energy in the air at the Devon Horse Show Grounds is palpable, and the magical experience at Dressage at Devon is enjoyed by spectators and competitors alike.
Dressage at Devon is one of the largest dressage-based open-breed shows in the world. Opening day of the Breed Division welcomed the Individual Breed Classes (IBC), featuring the many breeds seen competing throughout the levels in Dressage today. From Hanoverian’s, to Highland Ponies, to Thoroughbreds, to Oldenburgs, the IBC’s give each breed a chance to take center stage and compete against horses of their same breed. Upon completion of the IBC’s, the winners of each breed were invited to receive their tri-color honors in the Parade of Breeds sponsored by Select Breeders Services.
