One of our favorite horse shows of all time- Devon. Even we relax for a moment a two-taking in the beauty, tradition and history!
Devon is a very special place. Please put it on the calendar for next year already, the ASB and pony divisions need your support. Thousands of volunteers work the Devon Country Fair giving it a very special handmade homespun feel. There is a small midway for the children. Small touches are everywhere-that cater to the exhibitor, the spectators, the children, the horses. On Thursday night this year, attendance topped 40,000 people. Louisville, Penn National, Devon these are the places to show in front of a crowd, it's electrifying. There is no show ring more beautiful than the Dixon Oval.
"Seen & Herd"
The fine for going the wrong way down a 1 way street in Devon, PA is $175. Whoops! That was going to be an expensive trip to retrieve a whip! Thankfully it was forgiven...
The race was on to Minella's at 2am! Nuff said!
"15-2, 15-4, the right jack & last card!" It only looks like a friendly game! LOL!
On Thursday during the morning lull we visited friends who are a fellow farm family. A beautiful day without a cloud in the sky means the hay need to be raked (the most gorgeous hay in the world I might add!)- but these friends do it with REAL horsepower- 4 beautiful Belgian mares, check out one of the middle mares, exceptionally sized and beautiful. (For the record, his mom OK'd the photograph).
