Rockin’ Saddlebred Versatility Demonstration To Be Held at Devon Horse Show and Country Fair

Six American Saddlebred horses will demonstrate the versatility of the breed on Tuesday, May 31, at 7 p.m., at the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair in Pennsylvania.

Julie Lynn Andrew has put together a team of six horses that will perform combined driving, pleasure driving, show jumping, western pleasure, dressage and five-gaited. The horses will do the demonstration to rock and roll songs such as "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, "Jump" by Van Halen and "Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie and end the performance with a patriotic tribute with the playing of Lee Greenwood’s "God Bless the USA."

Andrew said the demonstration has the potential to market the versatility of the breed very well. “The people who attend this horse show are very educated and we need to show them quality,” she said.

Also participating with Andrew are Nealia McCracken, Jessica Moctezuma, Jason Molback, Susan Skipper, Joan Howard and Sandy Rabinowitz.

The Devon Horse Show, in Devon, PA, just west of Philadelphia, is the country’s largest all-breeds horse show. The show runs Thursday, May 26 through Saturday, June 4. The show takes place about 20 miles west of Philadelphia on the “Main Line,” and is among America's oldest show grounds.~~~
