Hatters – some mad, many marvelous – enchanted the throngs at the Devon Horse Show Wednesday.
’Twas a Ladies Day to top all Ladies Days – with a record-smashing 274 contestants, sunny skies and an “Enchanted Garden” theme ripe for the pickin.’

Devon Horse Show 2018 is history – but whoa, Nelly.
There’s a move afoot that could change the look of “downtown” Devon almost as much as URBN’s fast-rising Devon Yard.
The horse show’s chairman and CEO wants to put a three-level parking garage between Devon Yard (the new Terrain/Anthropologie complex) and the show grounds.
Because, let’s face it, parking can be a pain at Devon.
Top Ten Reasons We’re Going to Devon … And You Should, Too!
#10 IT’S WORLD CLASS. And getting classier every year.
Some of the BEST riders in the world are here, including three out of four on the 2016 U.S. Olympic Show Jumping Team: McClain Ward (9-time Devon Grand Prix champ), Beezie Madden and Kent Farrington, now ranked #1 in the world. Or catch a rising star like Devin Ryan. (A happy naming coincidence? We think not.)
Lucky us! Swell new Stoneleigh public garden in Villanova, The Bercy Ardmore, Imbibe in Conshy, Argyle & MovementRx Studio; Plus, KingsHaven, Devon hats & more
The Main Line has a new treasure. Dusted off, spruced up, and ready for our viewing pleasure. 42 glorious green acres.
“Stoneleigh: A Natural Garden” makes its public debut on Mother’s Day.
Join the lawn games or pick a quieter day to meander its paths and soak in its charms.
There’s no rush; the garden’s not going anywhere.
It’s ours. Forever.
And it’s free.
The Goat’s Beard debuts in Wayne; Remembering Polka Dots’ Susan Randels & other news around town
The Main Line never really warmed up to Xilantro, its cold, neon vibe better suited to South Beach than Central Wayne.
But its North Wayne successor, the new Goat’s Beard, well, he’s a whole ’nother animal.
Warm. Fuzzy. Friendly.
Upscale but not uppity.
It helps, too, that the guys behind the Goat are local lads Sean Coyle and Mike “Mac” MacCrory, pals since their Malvern Prep days.
The food biz in his blood, Sean handles operations. (His parents had the TexMex mainstay Binni & Flynn’s; his sister, Meridith, owns Aneu Catering and Paoli’s Fresh Ideas Market.)
Mac’s the money guy – commercial real estate exec by day, goat-herder by night.
The two buddies think they’re onto something.
