Bridgehampton, NY - Stephanie Danhakl and Enough Said triumphed in the $10,000 Hermes Hunter Classic in the Ann Aspinall ring on the final day of the 41st annual Hampton Classic Horse Show. 

"It is completely incredible to win this today," said Danhakl. "This whole week has been amazing. Even if today didn't go well, I would still have left the show really happy. This is just icing on the cake." 

Stephanie Danhakl and Enough Said Win the $10,000 Hermes Hunter Classic

Danhakl had already won a host of awards at the Classic.

Danhakl claims that it was time for Enough Said, her 10-year-old Westphalian, to get recognition. "He sometimes goes under the radar because he is in the 3'3" division, but he is an incredible horse and Champion almost every time out. He has every quality you could ever hope to find in a hunter."

Danhakl accomplished all of this while attending Boston University as a PhD student working towards her Doctorate in Art History.  

Scott Stewart and Fun Accept Grand Championship Award

Perennial winner Scott Stewart added another award to his long list of accomplishments winning the Charlie Weaver Award which is awarded to the rider displaying, in the opinion of the hunter judges, the best style of riding at the Hampton Classic.  Stewart piloted Catch Me and Fun, both owned by David Gochman, to championship wins, which resulted in his two horses tying for the Grand Hunter Championship.

"The week was great, it worked out way better than I thought," said Stewart. "The horses felt really good coming into the show. They are a great group of horses. I was hoping to do well and it worked out."
