“There are a lot of families that aspire to a Devon blue ribbon,” Wayne Grafton, who’s a chairman of the board, said. “And I am told in the equestrian world, that means its weight in gold.”Now more than 125 years old, Devon is the oldest and largest multi-breed outdoor equestrian show in the country.It started in 1896 as a way to bring farmers and Main Line gentry together for a one-day event.
“The number of disciplines that come through Devon make it unlike most horse shows that exist,” Grafton said.But none of it would be possible without the women of Devon. “But the fact that women have supported this organization for 125 years is quite remarkable,” Keller Fulmer said.
