Welcome to Dressage at Devon

September 28 - October 3, 2010

The 35th Anniversary 1975 - 2010

Welcome to Dressage at Devon!

Dressage at Devon - CDI-W/Y/J has been the premier North American equestrian event since 1975.  It combines world class dressage competition and the world's largest open breed show with the international Fall Festival shops and special activities for the entire family.

The historic and charming Devon Horse Show Grounds , located on US Route 30 just west of I-476 in Devon, Pennsylvania provide the ideal venue for this exciting event. The grounds include covered grandstand seating at the main Dixon Oval, a second performance arena, warm-up areas, extensive stabling and the tree-shaded lanes of the Festival area.

Dressage at Devon benefits Thorncroft Therapeutic Horseback Riding, Inc. , one of the oldest and largest therapeutic riding facilities in the nation.  Thorncroft helps the disabled to improve balance, circulation, muscle tone and concentration, while enhancing self-esteem.  Since 1991 Dressage at Devon has raised in excess of $1,000,000 for Thorncroft.
