66 T h a n K y o u T o o u r v o l u n T e e r S At Dressage at Devon, we're fortunate to have about 125 volunteers who cover everything from opening the gate to scribing for the judges. Many of our volunteers have been coming for several years and plan their work vacation around Dressage at Devon dates. Several friendships have been forged during the show, and it's always wonderful to catch up on everyone's news. Volunteers come from around the corner, across the country and everywhere in between. In 2015 we had volunteers from as far away as Florida and Washington state, and one of our scribes comes from Canada. Dressage at Devon volunteers range in age from their teens to their seventies. Most ride, but not all - some just love dressage and enjoy the opportunity to volunteer at one of the largest and most prestigious dressage shows in the country. Volunteering for Dressage at Devon is a family affair for some. We've had husband and wife teams, mothers and sons, mothers and daughters, and sisters filling our ranks. Our volunteers are consistently cheerful, as well. Despite occasionally challenging conditions, such as the weather and power outages last year, DAD volunteers are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the competitors, officials and spectators are taken care of in a friendly and efficient manner. It's safe to say that without the ongoing support of our amazing volunteers, the magic that is Dressage at Devon would not exist. "I can't say enough about the volunteers, the ringmasters (a hoot at times, especially in the rain), the scribes, the scores, the gatekeepers, etc.; I'm especially impressed how far some of them traveled to be part of the Devon experience," says Lori Kaminski, President and CEO.
