Major League Eventing Podcast

Robby gets to know Devon Sutherland this week. We met Devon a few weeks ago when we convinced her to be a last minute entry with her adorable Corgi puppy at the Maryland Corgi Cup. Unfortunately, her Corgi never left the start box. Besides Corgi wrangling, Devon has been a rider/trainer at Windchase Eventing with Phyllis Dawson for over a year. Devon shares her experiences with working with young horses and what is has been like being a young rider working in an established program as Windchase. We're sure you're going to enjoy hearing Devon's story.
