Gloucester, Massachusetts, June 17, 2008
Unlike any other sporting event, the Fidelity Investments Jumper
Classic, now in its 19th year, showcases a variety of products and services
through its boutique shopping village and through the many sponsors of this
world class equestrian competition. With its move to its new location at
Silver Oak Equestrian Center in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, the show welcomes
many returning sponsors and vendors as well as those that are new to The
Fidelity Investments Jumper Classic and the sport of show jumping.
Local Flavor and Color for the New England Region
"This year, more than any other, we seem to have a New England theme, which
is great because it fits right in with our new location in seacoast New
Hampshire," said Melissa Lovasco, President of The Jumper Classic.
"Even our food and beverages are local, from Capt'n Eli's handcrafted sodas
made in Portland, Maine to Cabot Cheese from Vermont. Local clothing and
accessories include custom-made chaps from A Leg Up, which is based in Maine,
Anthony Corey Neckware from Boston, uinque jewelry from Puttin' on the Giltz in
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and the coolest shirts and scarves from Indago
Designs of Brookline, Massachusetts. Not to mention we'll have locally
made jewelry - even some made from fossils and minerals - fine art and
portraiture by local artists, clothing and accessories, and very special gift
items that will make great souvenirs or unique presents for oneself or one's
family and friends."
"For unique, chic, chunky, funky, fashionable custom-made jewelry,"
Joanne Katherine Designs of Concord, New Hampshire will have a booth in the
boutique village, as will Krystyna Owen Designs of Manchester, Massachusetts.
Silk, velvet, and cotton jackets by M and Zen of Winthrop, Massachusetts are a
unique choice as are accessories from Pea Pods of Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
From nearby North Hampton, New Hampshire, Rose & Harper will display their
heirloom gemstone jewelry. Original art from local artists includes the
works available at Designs by Dannie of South Berwick, Maine, and Slate
Expectations of Phillipston, Massachusetts, which has been commissioned to make
a unique series of trophies for the equestrians competing in the show, and
Elegantly Equine equestrian art from Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Sponsors Make It All Possible
Many sponsors of the show, including the title sponsor of the past eight years,
Fidelity Investments headquartered in Boston, are also New England companies.
This year's presenting sponsor, Herb Chambers Mercedes-Benz of Massachusetts
will once again display some of its newest models of elite vehicles around the
show jumping ring. Elite Barn Structures of Temple, New Hampshire is
hosting the Rider's Party on Friday, September 5th to promote its exquisite
custom private barns to complete equine facilities. Mohegan Sun, a
Connecticut getaway destination, is sponsoring the all-new $15,000 Derby class
on Saturday, September 6th. Arbella Insurance Charitable Foundation is
making Family Day an all-day event for family fun, with three luncheons to
support local charities in the mix. The Clarendon, designer and builder of
Boston's Back Bay luxury condominiums, is sponsoring the Intermission on Grand
Prix day, with many musical highlights including a dressage musical freestyle by
New England's own Grand Prix dressage rider Sue Jaccoma. Randy Levesque,
of Rhode Island's Equine Insurance Services Presented by Great American is the
impetus behind the exciting $15,000 Speed Stake.
La Vie Equestrienne
Those sponsors and vendors focused on the riding and competition essentials for
equestrians in the midst include EquiFit, CWD, Der Dau riding boots, Saltar
Equestrian Apparel, Devoucoux saddles, Emerald Valley Equi-Life, Travel Right
Surfaces, Tack Trunk Etc., Inc., County Saddlery, and Draper Equine Therapy.
Denise Bean-Raymond, author of an upcoming book on holistic care for horses and
owner of an equine alternative therapy practice, Exclusive Equine Services, will
welcome discussions about horse health.
The Fidelity Investments Jumper Classic always has something unique for the
fashionable equestrians, as well as their horses. "In our exclusive
shopping boutique we have everything for La Vie Equestrienne - oh, and that's
the name of one of our vendors from New Hampshire, too," said Lovasco of
the boutique that caters to people, pets, and horses. Most equestrians
love hats, and a horse show is the place to find a unique millinery design to
suit the occasion, at boutiques like Savoir Faire of Newport, Rhode Island. Hats
and accessories are also available on the show grounds from Quint Essentials of
Salem, Massachusetts. Show Day of Portsmouth, New Hampshire will display
many unique accessories and clothes, as will Best of British of Newburyport,
Massachusetts with classical British style. Thinking outside the states,
The Jumper Classic is also pleased to host EL Designs with imported handbags
from Italy.
Comfort, function, and unique solutions
Several unique products that would enhance any home or farm will be on display,
including comfortable seating from Currier's Leather Furniture of Hampton Falls,
New Hampshire, which is hosting the cigar lounge on the show grounds during the
VIP luncheon and Grand Prix on Sunday, September 6th. Miele Professional
commercial cleaning systems offers smart solutions for pre-programmed unique
cleaning requirements, such as equine laundry, with confidence. The
ALLCLEAR Cordless Mosquito Mister Provides Easy, Effective, Immediate Mosquito
& Biting Insect Protection. Budget Pools, now in their 40th year of
business, offers The Jacuzzi Hot Tub, above ground pools, and spa accessories.
On the go resources
For seasoned travelers to the show, there will be many familiar sponsors who
offer a plethora of travel and vacation services, including Luggage Forward, The
World, Lufthansa Airlines, and Bombardier SkyJet.
"You will find a lot to see at The Jumper Classic, so you'll want to allow
plenty of extra time for a unique shopping experience," said Melissa
Lovasco, President of The Jumper Classic and a passionate shopper, herself.
"If you are looking for a specific vendor or want to see ahead of time
what' s in store, we have all of our sponsors and vendors listed on our
website."
