Dear Friends,
The time is going quickly. In just a few weeks we will be at Devon, watching trainers and grooms getting their horses ready for the breed show. Volunteers are ready (though a few more would be great) and our vendors and sponsors are all set.

Ladies Hat Day will be back on Friday with a few changes. First it will take place in the evening. And Gents are included as well.

Dressage Explorers on Sunday and Saturday education sessions will be back too. See below for more information.

See you at Dressge at Devon.
