The Hampton Classic is one of the famous horse shows in the country and is also known as a celebrity show that has been held in Long Island ,NY.

The roots of the Hampton Classic go to the early 1900s in Southampton to a show that was discontinued during WW1. It was revived in the 1920s and then discontinued again inWW2. It was revived a third time in 1959 as the Southampton Horse Show which was discontinued in the mid-1960s.

The Southampton Classic that is still going today, started back up in 1971 by the Topping Riding Club in NY as a one-day show. In 1976 it became a five-day rated show held initially at Dune Alpin Farm in East Hampton NY. In 1978, its name was formally changed to the Hampton Classic and in 1982 it moved to its present location on Snake Hollow Road Bridgehampton.

The Hampton Classic is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization with a two-fold mission: to put on a world class equestrian event and to support other local charities. The Hampton Classic makes an annual financial contribution to Southampton Hospital, and provides additional in-kind support to the Hospital as well as dozens of other area charities~

Here are the posters from the Hampton Classic.  I have listed almost all of them.  Hope you enjoy them all with their unique styles~

After seeing all of these fantastic posters, and if you ever wanted to see your artwork as one of them, Shanette told me a little bit about the way they select artwork to become their poster for the  year.

Well, I hope you all enjoy this week’s Poster Week!  Thank you so much again Shanette, for all of your help!

Be sure to come back Tuesdays & Fridays for  more great horse art!
