The 112th Devon Horse Show and Country Fair is Thursday, May 22, through Sunday, June 1, in Devon, PA. New this year is a United Professional Horsemen's Association (UPHA) Pink Ribbon class. Last fall, the UPHA introduced the program to help horse shows engage communities, showcase the show horses and raise much-needed funds for breast cancer research, awareness and treatment.

The designated class at Devon is the UPHA Pink Ribbon Ladies Five-Gaited class on Wednesday evening, May 28.

Devon also is continuing with its Saddlebred Trainers' Incentive Program.

Saddlebred competition incentives at Devon include the following: $1,500 for the most horses entered and shown (to the trainer); $1,000 for the second largest stable of horses entered and shown; $500 for the most ponies entered and shown; and two $1,000 scholarships awarded to designated junior exhibitor classes.

The 2008 show dates are May 22-June 1, with Saddlebreds competing May 28-May 31.

Saddlebred and coaching classes will begin late Thursday afternoon at 4:30. This will give Saddlebred exhibitors a full house to perform for and an early finish to their competitive day. Saddlebred classes also kick off the final Friday and Saturday evening performances, with championships decided both evenings.
