Devon, Pa.—June 1

The open hunter riders have had their turn around the rings, and while there are still some big jumper classes to come, now it’s time for the amateurs to take over. Amateur-owner hunters and jumpers jumped today, with loads of drool-worthy performances. Which horse do you want to sneak on your trailer?
