We attended this event
to give the 2005 KFPS/FHANA Dutch bred Friesian mare, Sjaantje Sport,
something to do this month. Neither trainer, Suzy
Stafford, nor myself had ever exhibited at Devon, and the venue was close
to our barn. I was still not allowed to drive
from my March 6th rotator cuff surgery, so asked Suzy to drive in the single horse
division. I was healthy enough to ride along in their pleasure
drive or "marathon," as it is called and had an absolutely delightful
experience. Nothing beats dressed to the nines, trotting briskly down
the road in a carriage, and having us cheered on by enthusiastic
spectators. May 23 - June 2, 2013 What fun we had socializing with the other competitors, who introduced me to jello shooters served in a 60mm syringe! Perfection. Sjaantje definitely deserved the single horse championship, as there is no doubt in my mind that she was the best carriage pleasure driving horse there, so we will return, expecting to do even better and with an appropriate antique carriage: tentative date 2016. |
