Annual Devon Fall Classic returns with all-jumper equestrian event

The Devon Fall Classic returns Thursday, featuring some of the nation’s top show-jumping athletes.

“It’s over 200 rounds of show jumping. We have people from all over the country – a really mixed group,” said Philip DeVita, show manager of the Devon Horse Show.

However, DeVita says this event if different from their spring show, as it is an all-jumper equestrian event.

“You start at a meter which is three-feet-three-inches,” DeVita explained. “As the day goes on, the horses riders and jumps get more progressive and more difficult.”

The event has something for the entire family — from the midway fair, some shopping and, of course, food.

Feast Your Eyes Catering is based in Fishtown, but this is their first time bringing high-end concessions to the Devon Fall Classic.

“We have classics, like burgers and hot dogs, with a twist on our Philly hot dog. For dessert, we have our miniature Pennsylvania shoe fly pie, a nod to Pennsylvania classic,” said Anthony Lehman, the owner Feast Your Eyes Catering.
