I'll bet you it was a better option than the 500 on tv, being a spectator at a long standing annual event like Devon, given the events, it had to be an enjoyable day.
Looks like rider 467's horse quit at a fence, didn't get thrown, and thats a good thing.
I used to hear the name "Devon" quite a bit growing up, and though I've been there, it was so long ago, young kid etc. The elders in my family are still involved with show riding, 2 are qualified judges and stewards, we've also conducted shows with 600+ exhibitors, lot of heritage and history with hunters and jumpers.

Here is my story of how I got the pistons out of a 1937 JD B that the engine had been stuck for about 14 years: About 12 years ago my Dad gave me one of the tractors I ran as I was growing up on our farm in central Nebraska. The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
