Douglas Elliman announced today that it will sponsor the $116,100 Douglas Elliman 5 * Grand Prix Qualifier at the 2025 Hampton Classic Horse Show, which runs from August 24 to August 31st in Bridgehampton, New York. An official sponsor of The Hampton Classic since 1996, Elliman celebrates its 29th consecutive year of partnership with the renowned equestrian event.
“The Hampton Classic is a hallmark of the Hamptons season, and we are honored to continue our longstanding tradition of support,” said Michael S. Liebowitz, President and Chief Executive Officer, Douglas Elliman. “This event brings together an extraordinary community of riders, clients and friends in a setting that celebrates excellence, elegance and the spirit of competition – values we share as a brand. It’s a privilege to be part of something so enduring.”
In complement to the competition and social events throughout the week, Douglas Elliman has unveiled the Fall 2025 edition of Equestrian magazine, featuring the brokerage’s premier portfolio of equestrian property listings in luxury markets around the country, including the Hamptons, Long Island, The North Fork, Westchester, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Metro. D.C., Las Vegas, Colorado and California. This year’s edition centers around Jessica Springsteen, award-winning equestrian and advocate, as well as Western-style equestrian competitions, with a particular focus on the sport of cutting, where a horse and a rider work together to separate a single cow from a herd. Additional original stories include the history of equestrian watches, anchored in the most relevant brands today, such as Longines, Rolex, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Hermès.
“Our connection to equestrian culture is deep and personal, from our agents who ride and compete to the clients and communities we serve,” said Todd Bourgard, CEO of Brokerage, Long Island, Hamptons and North Fork, Douglas Elliman. “The Hampton Classic is the perfect place to showcase this passion, and our Equestrian magazine is a natural extension of that lifestyle. We’re thrilled to return to the Classic and look forward to another unforgettable week.”
Scheduled for Friday, August 29th, the Elliman-sponsored Grand Prix Qualifier offers top riders the chance to compete for $116,100 in prize money and a custom-made horse blanket designed and manufactured by The Clothes Horse, a Cinnaminson, New Jersey-based company founded by pioneering designer Edith Friedman and led by her longtime assistant, Katrina Coldren. The $116,100 Douglas Elliman 5* Grand Prix Qualifier sets the starting line-up for the Classic's culminating event, the Longines Hampton Classic 5* Grand Prix.
One of the largest outdoor horse shows in the country, with more than 100 classes of competition for horses and riders of all ages and abilities, The Hampton Classic draws some 50,000 attendees each year, from equestrian enthusiasts to luminaries in entertainment, sports and fashion.
