The Country Classic had a new twist this year with the addition of the Saddle Seat classes held in one of the former hunter rings with hope of introducing the charm and tradition of old-world horse shows like Devon. It was a nice break for spectators being able to see a world so different than our own. It all revolves around the horses we love so much!
We’re happy to report yet another great week for all of our horses and riders.
