it's what you want to know
A seismic announcement from Brandywine Conservancy. The operator and sole beneficiary of Radnor Hunt Races for the last 45 years is moving on.
The 95th running of the Radnor Hunt Races on May 16, 2026 will be Brandywine’s last.
Near the heart of horse country – ten minutes from Radnor Hunt and eight miles from Devon – sits the new Jockey Tavern: horsey, handsome and … HAPPENING.
Crowds have swarmed place – the former McKenzie Brew House on Rte. 30 – since it opened November 14.
And for good reason: The décor is smashing, the booze is bountiful, and the food is on the money and fairly priced. In racing parlance, a superfecta.
On June 1, Kirstin Rabe Day will return to the show ring at Devon.
It’s been a while.
Twenty years, in fact.
With her erect carriage, her spit-shined boots and gloved fingers, Kirstin will be the picture of equestrian elegance..
But beneath her finery, emotions will be churning.
I’m here.
I’m healthy.
I’ve made it back.
When she last competed at Devon, Kirstin, now 38, was a junior at Radnor High School. She won two ribbons.
Seven months later, she had to give up riding altogether, and with it, her beloved horse.
More than 3,000 collectors and car buffs oohed and aahed at a stunning parade of vintage vehicles assembled at the Malvern show grounds Sept. 10. Zipping along in its 21st year, the Radnor Hunt Concours is now internationally recognized as one of the world’s premier automotive shows.
