As Director of Media Services and Operations, Bauman will provide on-site media supervision and direct overall media operations during the horse show. He and his staff will work closely with Phelps Media Group which has overall responsibility for the National's public relations.

"Marty and I have been friends ever since I hired him to oversee the media for the American Jumping Derby in Newport, RI, back in the 1970s," said Mason Phelps, Jr., President of the National Horse Show and of Phelps Media Group. "He has the respect of the entire industry and with good reason. I am thrilled that he and his Classic Communications team will be working with Phelps Media Group to provide the best possible media services for this year's Alltech National Horse Show."

Bauman previously served on the media staff of the National from 1984 -2001 when it was at The Meadowlands Arena and Madison Square Garden, including more than a decade as its Chief Press Officer. He has held similar positions with some of this country's biggest equestrian events including the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, the Hampton Classic Horse Show, the FEI World Cup Finals in Las Vegas and last year's Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.

This year's show, designated CSI4*-W, will feature a complete schedule of 'AA'-rated hunter divisions, including the Pony Lane Farm High Performance Hunter section. Also on the agenda, a big money Open Jumper division highlighted by the $75,000 Double H Farms Thursday's Jump-Off class, the $60,000 Spy Coast Farm Faults Converted Speed class on Friday and of course, the $250,000 Alltech National Horse Show Grand Prix, an FEI World Cup qualifying event. $100,000 will be up for grabs for the Junior and Amateur Jumper divisions, including the $50,000 SJHOF Junior/Amateur Championships, sponsored by Sleepy P Ranch, Chansonette and Deeridge Farm. The final Sunday is highlighted by the signature event of the National Horse Show, the ASPCA Alfred B. Maclay Finals, presented by C.M. Hadfield's Saddlery.

Founded in 1883 at the original Madison Square Garden, the National Horse Show is America's oldest indoor horse show, firmly established as a major fixture on the national and international sports and social event calendars. The National Horse Show Association's primary activity is the annual production of the National Horse Show and all ancillary events. Over the years, the National Horse Show has provided financial aid to many worthwhile charities.
