Budweiser Clydesdales Coming To Devon Horse Show

DEVON, PA – The 2017 Devon Horse Show and Country Fair is hosting some extra special guests that are sure to being in even larger crowds than past events. This year the legendary Budweiser Clydesdales will make appearances at the fair and show.

Set for May 24 through June 4, the horse show and country fair will host the world famous beasts of burden on Friday 2 and Saturday, June 3.

The horses will parade around the Dixon Oval while hauling the famous red Studebaker beer delivery wagon driven by a rider wearing the iconic green and red delivery uniform.

The famous horses travel about 100,000 miles annually for appearances all over the nation.

Tickets for the horse show and country fair can be purchased online here.

This year, the show is offering a new class known as "arena eventing" at 7 p.m. Sunday, May 28.

The $50,000 Arena Eventing Class will be the first in the show’s history and only the fourth of its kind in the world.

At the event, some of the country’s most-skilled horse and rider teams will compete in this elite class, which combines the technical challenges of cross-country riding with the speed and thrill of show jumping.

The course will require competitors to navigate 25 jumps between the Dixon Oval and Gold Ring, harkening back to Devon’s early days when the show featured an outside course and competitors had to jump into the Dixon Oval to compete.
