Devon, Pa.—May 31 Initially Irene Neuwirth didn’t think that showing at Devon would be in the cards for Holland Park. She just purchased the 6-year-old Westphalian (Dior—Lotta Kann Alles) last September, and she started showing him this winter, so he was light on points, and when the qualifying lists came out for Devon, he was […]
The Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, Virginia, is a great gift of a venue for so many reasons: It’s super easy to get to, being at an intersection of two major highways; it’s in a proper town with a million hotels and restaurants and a cute downtown; and the board that runs it has poured […]
Devon, Pa.—May 29 As the sun begins to set over the main grandstand overlooking the Dixon Oval, the golden light plays perfectly with the iconic eggshell blue that is quintessentially Devon. The crowd noise is a constant buzz as Pennsylvania locals and intense equestrian enthusiasts gather to watch the $226,000 Sapphire Grand Prix of Devon, […]
Devon, Pa.—May 29 Eleven years ago, Mindful galloped around the Dixon Oval at the 2014 Devon Horse Show for the first time.

Devon, Pa.—May 29 When rider Colin Syquia and owner Cynthia Sulzberger planned Front Page’s 2025 season, things looked a little different than in previous years. Since they first got the gelding at age 3, Syquia’s been Front Page’s main rider. But this year, it was Sulzberger’s turn to take the reins in the show ring […]
Ah Devon, the show with more traditions than almost any other, given its century-plus history. Outside of the competition, one of the biggest draws to the Devon Horse Show and County Fair is undoubtably the varied and delicious food available on the show grounds. You can join the crowds to get to the midway for […]
When Anna Marek first met Fayvel, she knew he had the talent for Grand Prix. What she didn’t expect was just how much heart and personality the 15-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding (Zizi Top—Ofra, Houston), bred by R. & I Veninga V.O.F., would bring to the ring—and to her barn. Originally ridden by his owner Cynthia […]

I did not grow up in a horse family, so though I have horse girl mom role models (Hoppy Stearns, Winter Paxson, Cindy Buchanan, Bridgett Woody and Maddie Henry are a few), I can’t frame best practices for horse girl parenting around personal childhood experience.
