📣 Attention Dressage at Devon competitors!

If you’re competing a horse or pony 16 hands or under in the Performance Division, please make sure to sign up for the Pam Liddell Memorial Trophy in the show office!

➡️ SIGN-UP IS NEW THIS YEAR, so be sure to ask about it when you check in.

This trophy is especially meaningful because it honors the legacy of Pam Liddell and her lifelong commitment to breeding and developing small horses with the talent, temperament, and heart to excel in dressage.

Pam believed in the little horses — and she had an incredible eye for developing them into true athletes and partners. This trophy is a wonderful way to celebrate that passion and the legacy she left behind in our sport.

To be eligible for this perpetual trophy, horses and ponies must:

• Be under 16 hands
• Be ridden by an Adult (Amateur or Professional)
• Be competing in the National or CDI show at Dressage at Devon

Scores earned in Young Horse classes or Freestyles are not eligible.

Those competing in the Young Rider division are eligible as long as they are 18 years of age or older at the time of competition.

If you have a little horse or pony competing at Devon, we hope you’ll sign up and be part of this special tribute to Pam. 🥹💜

Everyone has found their home 🥰

Last week the final two Kynynmonts - Sibyl and Kaden - left “the motherland” and went to their new loving homes. My team and I were able to sell or rehome 36 horses & ponies!

For the past two years, finding homes for the Kynynmonts has consumed me in ways I can’t fully put into words. There were moments I questioned everything, moments I cried, MANY moments I felt completely overwhelmed — but also moments that reminded me exactly why horses matter so much.

This chapter has been full of highs and lows. The highs of watching the right partnerships form, seeing horses understood, appreciated, and loved. The lows of the uncertainty, the emotional weight, the responsibility of making sure every decision was the right one.

Kynynmont Farm is still here and we will have some big announcements later this summer. I am delighted to finally put my full attention onto my current students and growing our barn family. Moving forward we will be building something a little quieter, a little more intentional, but still rooted in the same passion and care that has always defined this farm.

To everyone who supported me through this process, encouraged me, trusted me, or simply listened when it was hard — thank you. More than you know.

I especially want to thank Pam for bringing all of these wonderful horses into existence. The number of lives they will touch is infinite.

Thank you to the Liddell Family, especially Kirk, for the tremendous support.

Thanks to my friends and family for being so supportive and understanding.

Huge thanks to the team that helped make it all happen: Jen, Rachel, Connie, Bella, Olivia, Avery and Kelly and the rest of our amazing stable crew.

Thank you to the our support team: vets Dr Acland and Dr Minella, and our wonderful farrier Jason Hillman.

Thanks to Marynells at ACPS for all the guidance (and for processing so many transfers!).

Thank you to the people who now love and care for our precious horses and ponies.

And thanks to the horses themselves. My love for you taught me I could take on what felt like an insurmountable task. You helped me evolve and grow and get out of my comfort zone.

Thank you

Here’s to the next chapter 🩵🥂

💔 Homes needed before July 1 (firm deadline) for two very special horses.

Both are non-riding only due to physical limitations, and the mare should not be bred. They do not need to stay together.

Easy keepers, barefoot, and happy living out (may need a blanket). Both are incredibly sweet and love people, but can be a bit spooky—best suited for experienced horse homes.

Sybil – 2020 Connemara x Warmblood mare. Gentle, kind, and a wonderful companion for retirees or young horses. She lived out last summer with two mares in their late 20s, and is now baby sitting a youngster.

Kaden – 2019 Connemara x Warmblood gelding. Playful and social, does well with other horses too!

✨ Free to truly excellent homes only — the right fit matters most. References (including vet) required.

Please share to help these two find the safe, happy homes they deserve ❤️

Kynynmont Sybil — aka Ruby — has one Christmas wish 🎄: a safe, understanding home to call her own, with kind horses and patient humans to share her days with.

Ruby has significant neck and back changes on radiographs, so we’ve been carefully searching for the right non-riding home for her. She thrives best living a simple life with consistent care and turnout.

It’s important to be upfront: Ruby can be a bit tricky to handle and does best with confident, experienced people who understand boundaries and routine. That said, she is excellent in turnout, happiest with friends, and truly settles when her environment is calm and predictable.

A few weeks ago, Ruby’s three lifelong girlfriends left together for a performance home. Since saying goodbye to her sisters, she’s been lonely and clearly missing her herd — which makes finding her a soft place to land even more urgent.

If you have a quiet farm, solid horse skills, and room in your heart for a mare who needs a little extra understanding, Ruby would love to meet you. Please help us find her the forever home she deserves ❤️ located in Lancaster, PA. Reach out to trainer Jessie Paine Dressage for more info.

Kynynmont Katrin, Kynynmont Kalin, and their sister from another Mister Donna Phoebe left for their new home 🏠 today in MD. All settled in great and are enjoying the grass!

We only have 2️⃣ Kynynmonts still looking for homes. Both of them are nonriding companion horses - one mare and one gelding.

We are hoping to find the mare, Kynynmont Sybil, a great home as soon as possible because she no longer has her sisters to hang out with 😔 There is also her full brother, Kynynmont Kaden. But horses are very good when in turnout, but sometimes need a competent handler to get them there, especially with the temperatures dropping!

Contact our trainerJessie Paine Dressagee for more info.

We need your help! We need to find companion homes (Can be to separate places) for two Kynynmont Kids. Please share this post!

• Kynynmont Kaden – 2019 gelding
• Kynynmont Sybil – 2020 mare

Both are by the purebred Connemara stallion Kynynmont Cooper O’Grady and out of the warmblood mare Zaphire.

Due to individual issues, neither horse is suitable for a performance career nor for light riding. However, they are excellent candidates for companion or pasture homes. They both rank a 10 on the personality, love 🐛 bug scale.

Kaden is a kind, easy-to-handle gelding who gets along well with nearly any turnout group. He can be cautious with new objects or changes in his environment but remains straightforward and manageable.

Sybil is a sweet-natured mare who tends to be lower in the herd hierarchy. While she does have an occasional spook, the majority of the time she is quiet and laid back, making her well-suited as a companion or “pasture puff.” She’s gets along great with the AARP members of the Kynynmont herd. She’s that sweet!

Both horses are good for turnout and would make excellent additions to a herd or just to be a buddy for another single horse. We are looking for safe, responsible homes where they will be well cared for.

Located in Lancaster, PA. Contact trainer Jessie Paine Dressage for more info.
