Greetings ODS Members!

With less than two weeks to go, DevonWood Equestrian Centre is proud to present our 8^th Annual Dressage at DevonWood Show!

Dressage at DevonWood 2007, sponsored by the Old Spaghetti Factory and Oswego Lake Gallery will take place this coming July 27^th – 29^th. This year promises to be one of our biggest and best years yet! With over 250 competitors entered in our show, and rider’s coming from every state in Region 6 (OR, WA, AK, ID, W. Montana), Nevada, and Canada, Dressage at DevonWood is the place to be this July!

We once again welcome some of the most elite judges/officials to the Northwest for our most prestigious competition. Join us in welcoming Dressage icons such as FEI “O” Judges Anne Gribbons & Gary Rockwell, and Canadian FEI “I” Judges Lorraine MacDonald & Lorraine Stubbs to Dressage at DevonWood 2007.
