Cleveland Bays Gather at Upperville

From the Equine Journal - August  2009

The Upperville Colt and Horse Show in Virginia was the place to be for Cleveland Bay owners from the mid-Atlantic in early June. Over 20 horses competed in hand and under saddle. As rare as the Cleveland Bay horse is, they competed at Upperville when it first was held in 1853. The founder of Upperville,Colonel Richard Henry Dulany imported the champion Cleveland Bay stallion Scrivington from England in the 1850's and started breeding quality horses. Upperville was just the perfect show venue for Colonel Dulany over 150 years ago and was again a great place to show the versatility and presence of the Cleveland Bay. Below are results. Congratulations to all those that attended.
