\"\"<\/a>Last Saturday I was able to sneak away from my barn duties and head over to the Devon Horse Show<\/a>. Usually I get to Devon at least once or more during their big Hunter Show of the year. In fact, I’m headed there tonight for the Grand Prix Jumpers. I’m not really “into” hunters, although as most children have, I did compete in my fair share of leadline and hunter classes as a kid. It’s an easy way to transition into horse showing, no dressage tests to memorize, usually pretty simple jump courses and fences – pretty much just stay on and steer and you’re good. Although don’t tell anyone…I was usually the kid that fell off at all the super low (non-scary) fences. I blame it on a pony who HATED to jump, I wish someone had handed me a clicker back then, I might have avoided myself many spills. But that’s ok, it made me a better rider, and probably helped push me into DRESSAGE! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to Devon. My big push to go to the Devon Horse Show on Saturday was to watch STACY WESTFALL<\/a>! Yes, I saw Bruce Springsteen’s daughter ride, and yes I ate funnel cake and desperately held back from purchasing a lemon stick (I don’t need anymore cavaties), but what I really went to see was the Stacey Westfall Demo.<\/p>\n

If you have no idea who Stacy Westfall is, then you have to watch this video. If you have already seen it, then watch it again, because it’s just awesome.<\/p>\n
