The Upperville Colt & Horse Show
Details of the earliest Upperville Colt & Horse Show, first held in 1853, are lost in the mists of time. Accounts even vary between the 1857 and 1859 publications of The Southern Planter. All agree, however, that the show, which celebrates its 154th birthday this year, is the oldest in the country, that the founder was Richard Henry Dulany, and that this and every year’s show is held on the same sylvan glade in Upperville, Va., selected by Dulany.
