The final weekend of the 2023 Devon Horse Show kicked off Saturday with the best of the best competing for the final ribbons of this year’s show, and it was the $145,100 CSI4* 1.50m Idle Dice Open Stake that closed out the night with the last FEI CSI4* competition of Devon.
As the final FEI night class of the 2023 Devon Horse Show, the crowd on hand was electric. The riders took in the great atmosphere and put together their best efforts to give the crowd a good show.
At the completion of the first round, eight partnerships remained to take on the all important jump-off. Emerging victorious under the lights was Roberto Teran Tafur (COL) and BP Wakita (Pacino x Cruising) to cap off a very successful run at Devon this year. McLain Ward (USA) and First Lady (Don Diarado x Lordanos) took second, while Jessica Mendoza (GBR) and I-Cap CLZ (I'm Special de Muze x Air Jordan Z) took third.
"I'm feeling super excited. This mare means a lot to me. Winning in Devon, and with the group that made it to the jump off, is really hard. And it just feels great,” Tafur said after his victory.
