Devon, Pa.—June 1 Natalie Dean had her work cut out for her as she headed into the ring for the $20,000 Show Jumping Hall Of Fame Amateur-Owner Jumper Classic at the Devon Horse Show.

Devon, Pa.—June 1 Becky Gochman is no stranger to winning at the Devon Horse Show, and while a new championship is no less exciting than those that came before it, she likes to share the love a little bit. After each rosette was placed on Catch Me’s bridle, Gochman would walk over to the spectators […]
Devon, Pa.—May 31 It’s not always easy to show in the amateur-owner hunters at Devon.

Devon, Pa.—May 29 Sitting next to Tori Colvin, Scott Stewart pointed out a certain name encircling the Hope Montgomery Scott Perpetual Trophy. The 2019 running marks Stewart’s 15th etching onto the coveted trophy—and the fifth in a row—symbolizing his years dominating the hunter ring as the leading hunter rider. But Colvin, who was Stewart’s student […]
Devon, Pa.—May 28 The crowd looked different at the Merion Cricket Club than the one dotting the Devon Horse Show just a few hours before—but make no mistake they’re still horse people. No riding clothes were in sight other than Jimmy Torano’s “formal attire” white breeches worn in that night’s Jet Run Devon Welcome Stake, as […]
You might know the name Scott Stewart—we all drool over the beautiful animals he rides—and wins on. And he does it over and over again, each year with another group of swoon-worthy horses.
