John & Stephanie Ingram, LLC’s Oldenburg mare Odette opened the morning by claiming the High Performance Conformation Hunter Championship after sweeping all four over fences classes and earning 48 points across two days of competition with rider Victoria Colvin.

Cheryl Olsten’s Belgian Warmblood gelding Lafitte De Muze followed, capturing his second consecutive Devon Championship title in the High Performance Working Hunter Division with longtime rider Amanda Steege.

In a rare tie, two horses shared this year’s Devon Grand Hunter Champion honors after each accumulated 46 points over two days of competition. Lynn Olson’s Oldenburg gelding In The End and John & Stephanie Ingram, LLC’s Oldenburg mare Odette, both piloted by Victoria Colvin, earned the prestigious distinction.

Colvin, who has partnered with the mare for the past year, praised Odette’s competitive nature. “She’s the coolest mare,” said Colvin. “She wants to win. She goes in and tries to win every time.”

The championship marked a particularly impressive achievement for In The End, whom Colvin had only shown for the second time this week at Devon. “He’s young, but he didn’t seem to care about anything. He really was perfect and didn’t do anything wrong this week.”
