Postcard from Devon: Day One

September 27, 2002 — Rain put a damper on the festivities at the opening day of performance classes at Dressage at Devon in Devon, Pennsylvania. But almost everyone stuck it out through the steady downpour and ankle-deep mud. Spectators crowded under tents in the commercial area, spending money on sweatshirts, jackets, rain hats and fleece vests, while the last of the breed competitors slid around the corners of the triangle, dark gray mud covering their white pants and jackets.

The weather forecasters call for more of the same tomorrow, but here?’s hoping it?’s a bit drier for the FEI Grand Prix and Prix St. Georges classes.
