Dressage at Devon Presented by WTDirect

Ladies Please.... Get Ready For Hat Day, Friday and Enter Dressage at Devon Free of Charge!

They arrive decked in feathers, dangled with sugar cubes, adorned with martini glasses, foxes and birds. The entries in the Ladies’ Day Hat Contest at Dressage at Devon are far from ordinary, flaunting everything from high-falutin’ to hilarious.

The fourth annual Ladies’ Day Hat Contest will take place on day five of the 33rd Annual Dressage at Devon, Friday, September 28th, at the Devon Horse Show Grounds in Devon, PA.

All ladies in fancy hats (no baseball caps, please) will be admitted to the show at no charge, and will receive a complimentary bag full of goodies, including discount coupons and tickets for the champagne brunch at the show’s Mimosas on the Midway, while supplies last.

At 3:45 p.m., the bonnet bedecked contestants will convene in the Dixon Oval where their unusual headwear will be judged by celebrity judges. Categories may include Prettiest, Most Whimsical, Most Likely to Take Flight, Most Tempting to Take a Bite Out Of and more.

Judges for the hat contest will include hat maker to the Dutch Royal Family Boy de Winter. De Winter’s hats are in demand by royals and Olympic dressage competitors alike, and he has been making hats for equestrians at Dressage at Devon for more than a dozen years. Some of the top riders in the world proudly don his custom-made top hats. So for dressage riders whose top hats have taken a beating, or better yet get a new slick look and visit Boy de Winter for your only chance in the USA to have the best of the best make you look your best!

The winners will receive prizes donated by local area business and Dressage at Devon vendors.

The celebrity-judged hat contest is only one of the exciting happenings at Dressage at Devon. This year’s show will offer top competition, “dancing” to music, special exhibitions, great shopping, educational opportunities and an array of eating options.
