“We are pleased to announce that we have added new classes this year, developed to provide new opportunities for both horses and riders,” said Lori Kaminski, President and CEO of Dressage at Devon. “The first is an IBC class in the breed division, open to all thoroughbreds, in recognition of the increasing popularity of these horses. The class is open to any registered thoroughbred but there is a special award for off-the-track thoroughbreds.”

“Plus we are introducing a Dressage Seat Equitation classes on Sunday, with a class for juniors and one for adults. The class will be judged upon correct seat position and the use of aids,” continued Kaminski.
