A tradition at Devon, PA since 1975, Dressage at Devon has offered a unique blend of top competitors, horses, trainers and judges from across the continent and around the globe in one of the highest-rated international dressage competitions in the country. With something for competitors and spectators alike, this year Lynn Palm will add to the educational lineup with a presentation sponsored by Smartpak about one of the fastest growing areas of the equine world-Western Dressage.
On Thursday September 26 Palm will give the opportunity for newcomers to Western Dressage to learn the most basic and enthusiasts already involved with the sport the chance to explore nuances in training and competition presentation. Covering topics from riding tests with accuracy to showing correct gaits and movements within the levels, there is something for everyone. Following Palm’s presentation is the Masterclass with Brett Parbery where a western dressage rider joins the lineup.
Palm is excited to bring Western Dressage to another international arena. As a past presenter at the 2010 World Equestrian Games Equine Village and the 2017 FEI World Cup Dressage Showcase, she feels that “another international venue where Western Dressage can be shared among so many equestrians is a wonderful opportunity for the sport”.
