📣 Attention Dressage at Devon competitors!

If you’re competing a horse or pony 16 hands or under in the Performance Division, please make sure to sign up for the Pam Liddell Memorial Trophy in the show office!

➡️ SIGN-UP IS NEW THIS YEAR, so be sure to ask about it when you check in.

This trophy is especially meaningful because it honors the legacy of Pam Liddell and her lifelong commitment to breeding and developing small horses with the talent, temperament, and heart to excel in dressage.

Pam believed in the little horses — and she had an incredible eye for developing them into true athletes and partners. This trophy is a wonderful way to celebrate that passion and the legacy she left behind in our sport.

To be eligible for this perpetual trophy, horses and ponies must:

• Be under 16 hands
• Be ridden by an Adult (Amateur or Professional)
• Be competing in the National or CDI show at Dressage at Devon

Scores earned in Young Horse classes or Freestyles are not eligible.

Those competing in the Young Rider division are eligible as long as they are 18 years of age or older at the time of competition.

If you have a little horse or pony competing at Devon, we hope you’ll sign up and be part of this special tribute to Pam. 🥹💜
