It’s Full Speed Ahead at Dressage at Devon

The year-long planning is coming together for Dressage at Devon (http://www.dressageatdevon.com/) taking place September 27-October 2, 2011 at the Devon Horse Show grounds.

The prize list is now available at online. The closing date is August 18. A list of local accommodations is also available on the site.

For riders (and their horses) new footing has been added to the Gold Ring, matching it to the high standards set last year in the Dixon Oval.

And this year, Dressage with the Experts, a favorite among exhibitors and spectators alike will include commentary from Sara Schmitt, Kem Barbosa, Natalie Lamping, Kathy Connelly, and Johanna Gwinn as well as interviews with dressage professionals.  This list promises to grow between now and the show dates.  This is, of course, in addition to the educational forums that have always been a mainstay of the show.
