"The Fall Classic represents everything we cherish about the equestrian community," Wayne W. Grafton, Chairman and CEO of the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair, said. "We're seeing more young riders than ever before, and it's wonderful to witness how the Fall Classic helps local barn owners develop their young riders. The intimate setting of this four-day event allows these developing equestrians to experience the magic of competing in the historic Dixon Oval in a more relaxed atmosphere than our spring show. It's a perfect stepping stone that builds confidence and creates lifelong memories."

The official prize list, which includes complete class schedules, entry details, and important information for exhibitors, is available online here.

The show will be available to an international audience via its live stream to 57 countries on the USEF Network.
