HRTV PREMIERES HAMPTON CLASSIC HORSE SHOW THIS THURSDAY
Prestigious Show Airs in English Horse Sports Showcase Programming Block

Arcadia, CA -- HRTV (R), The Network for Horse Sports, will continue to premiere top-notch events in its English Horse Sports Showcase programming block when it airs highlights from the iconic Hampton Classic Horse Show, from Bridgehampton, NY on Thursday, November 3 at 9:30 p.m. ET.

One of the most revered, and biggest, show jumping contests in the United States, the Hampton Classic Horse Show is annually held over the Labor Day weekend.  This year's competition faced a difficult challenge when bad weather caused by Hurricane Irene prompted a delayed start, but didn't shorten the prestigious events, as it persevered smoothly through a compressed time frame.

“We believe it is important for US equestrian athletes to be known and supported here and abroad.  The Hampton Classic is, traditionally, one of the most celebrated events in US show jumping.  HRTV is pleased to showcase American horse and rider teams by bringing this event to our national TV and world-wide online audience,” said Scott Daruty, HRTV President.

The show features world-class equestrian competition and attracts many of the nation's top professional and amateur riders. The Classic’s chic Hamptons charm and full schedule of family attractions make it the perfect destination for anybody looking to add some style to their summer. It is highlighted by the $250,000 FTI Grand Prix and FEI World Cup™ Qualifier that features Olympic, World Championship and USET veterans.

"We encourage everybody to watch HRTV’s telecast of this year’s Hampton Classic," said Shanette Barth Cohen, Hampton Classic Executive Director. "HRTV is recognized as a leader in equine-related telecasts and we were thrilled to have them join us this year.  Their production of McLain Ward’s history-making performance in the FTI Grand Prix is sure to excite horse fans all over."
