Hampton Falls, NH -- The 2011 Fidelity Investments® Jumper Classic® Prize List is now in print and available online for riders and trainers who are headed to the show September 14-18 in Hampton Falls, NH. The virtual Prize List and online Entry Forms can be found under the riders link or at http://www.bluetoad.com/publication/?i=75711&pre=1

New England's premier show jumping event, held each fall since 1989, the Fidelity Investments Jumper Classic was named one of the Top 25 of 2010 Horse Shows in North America by the North American Riders Group, and offers 60 classes with $200,000 in prize money during five full days of competition. The show grounds at the 75-acre Silver Oak Equestrian Center are nestled among apple orchards and farms in the quintessential New England countryside, just minutes from the New Hampshire seacoast.

Exhibitors will be pleased to note some of the new features of the show, Melissa Lovasco, President and CEO of the Fidelity Investments Jumper Classic said, "We look forward to welcoming many of the nation's top riders, adult amateurs, students, and junior riders, and of course both seasoned and young horses for the 2011 show. This year both new and returning exhibitors will find the footing and the scheduling to be very amenable. We're known as 'the rider's show' because we listen to exhibitors' suggestions and put the horse and rider first."

Every year the Fidelity Investments Jumper Classic makes improvements to the show. Here's what's new for 2011:

  • All-new high performance German Geo textile fiber footing has been installed by GGT -Footing™ in our two all-weather rings, and warm-up rings adjacent to the spectacular 5-acre grass Coldwell Banker Grand Prix Field.

  • New 1.25m D.G. Ventures Speed Derby to be held on Friday in the Coldwell Banker Grand Prix Field. 
  • Course designers Erik Hasbrouck and Nathan Panetta will create exciting challenges for a variety of classes including 1.30m and 1.40m, a modified division to accommodate riders needing a transition between child/adult jumpers and the Low A/O division, and a Farewell Class.
