July 7, 2010 (Hampton Falls, NH)-- The New England area's
hottest show jumping event, the Fidelity Investments Jumper
Classic, and EquineSite.com, the go-to online resource for the
New England and New York equestrian community, will be posting
exclusive interviews with top riders leading up to the September
event. In depth questions will be asked of elite show jumping
competitors from the northeast and their answers will be posted
on EquineSite.comon a web page dedicated to the Fidelity
Investments Jumper Classic - the site's featured event.
"We felt the local equestrian community and the fans that have
supported the Jumper Classic for more than twenty years, plus
the many riders we have in our area, would enjoy this unique
focus on the competitors who ride in the show," said Melissa
Lovasco, President and CEO of the Jumper Classic.
Mark Amirault, Vice President of EquineSite.com added, "This
is a great opportunity for EquineSite.com readers to get to know
the human and equine athletes that are gearing up for this
exciting event in our own back yard." Equinesite.com was founded
in 1999 in Goffstown, New Hampshire, and has reached the
milestone of more than 200,000 visitors to the site each month,
including a loyal base of local riders.
As the countdown is on for the Fidelity Investments Jumper
Classic, the first in the series of interviews with the show's
exhibitors begins with Victoria Birdsall who, at 16 years of
age, was ranked High Junior Jumper Rider for 2009. This year
she won the prestigious George Morris Excellence in Equitation
Exhibition. A resident of Topsfield, Massachusetts, Victoria
competes on the east coast circuit while still achieving honors
in high school, and competed against Olympic riders in the
$75,000 Fidelity Investments Grand Prix in 2009.

victoriabirdsall.blogspot.com during the month of July.
The next interview will give a unique perspective on what
it's like to not only compete in the sport but also design the
course that challenges the horses and riders at different
levels. Eric Hasbrouck, who has served on the Olympic Selection
Committee for the past two years and has won major Grand Prix
competitions throughout the U.S., will share his insight as a
rider, course designer, and trainer out of The Pavilion Farm in
North Salem, New York. Hasbrouck will be designing "smooth
riding technical courses" for Ring Two of the Fidelity
Investments Jumper Classic, preparing the young horses for the
larger classes.
More interviews will be featured as the time nears for the
September event. "Stay tuned to EquineSite.com for updates and

be coming to Hampton Falls, New Hampshire at the Fidelity
Investments Jumper Classic. We hope our readers will look
forward to coming to the show to see these riders in person when

also invite readers to come to the 'Elite Shavings Meet and
Greet' on Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. in the
SmartPak Equine Riders Tent to get the chance to really meet
