Highlights from the Hampton Classic

Can you believe today is the last day of August? It feels like the whole summer flew by, but I was more than happy to spend the final weekend of the month at the Hampton Classic horse show. As is always, the event was fabulous, and the horses, riders, trainers, vendors, and everyone who came out and worked so hard to ensure the show’s success did an incredible job. This year I made it out to the show grounds twice and watched classes in all three rings (grandstand, hunter, and jumper). I couldn’t have asked for better weather and I enjoyed taking lots of photos…over 300 to be exact! Of course, I must thank Hampton Coffee Company for the much needed–and readily available–iced lattes. I will be ordering a supply of their coffee soon.

If you’re wondering about my outfit choices, the decision was difficult. I ended up choosing the white lace dress (what a shock!) and the navy number. The second day I was at the show it was hot and humid, so the white dress was a natural choice. Thank you to everyone who cast their vote and helped me narrow down my options. There is still a mystery dress waiting in the wings, but fear not, it will make an appearance soon.

Here are some of my favorite shots!
