Harvey Waller Wraps Up Horse Pairs Championship

Harvey Waller.

Harvey Waller sped to a win in Monday’s Scurry Driving class en route to taking the Horse Pairs Championship at the Devon Horse Show. He drove the H. Waller Spider Phaeton, which he owns with his wife Mary Stokes Waller, to consistent finishes in the division on Sunday and Monday, earning the Championship Apron presented by Misdee Wrigley Miller.

The reserve honors in the Horse Pairs Championship went to Rich O’Donnell, who is President of the Board of Directors of the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair Inc. and Devon Horse Show & Country Fair Foundation. He drove the O’Donnell Spider Phaeton, which he owns with his wife, to victory in the Horse Pairs Pleasure Turnout.

“We have some fantastic competitors that come to Devon,” O’Donnell said. “As President of the Horse Show, I intend to make sure that carriage driving and coaching continues at Devon. It’s a crowd pleaser. I think spectators are amazed to see some of these vehicles that are turned out. The vehicle that I have today was actually built in 1882, so the vehicle is over 120 years old, and it’s still in operation today.”

The focus shifted to ponies for the evening events, and Lisa Koehler’s Koehler Gig, driven by Nicole Cable, received the Joseph M. Pierce Challenge Trophy for the Single/Pair Pony Driving Championship. Their consistent record in Sunday and Monday’s classes, including wins in Monday night’s Single/Pair Pony – Pleasure Turnout and Sunday’s Single Harness Two Wheeled Vehicles, placed them ahead of the competition. The reserve championship in the competitive division went to Tara Miliziano-Crowley, driving her own Miliziano-Crowley Saylor Wagon.
