St. Louis. MO-July 21, 2003-Purina Mills, LLC is proud to sponsor the 28th annual Hampton Classic Horse Show. The sponsorship title will showcase the leader in equine nutrition as the Official Feed Company of the Hampton Classic.

The Hampton Classic Horse Show is one of the premier hunter-jumper shows in the United States. With over 1500 exhibitors and 50,000 spectators expected to attend this year’s event, the Hampton Classic provides a great opportunity to market products and support the equine industry.

Purina Mills is the leader in equine nutrition, feeding over a million horses a day. Their research in equine nutrition is what makes them unique and sets them apart from all other feed companies.

“We are very excited about being a part of this great event” said Purina Mills Equine events marketing manager, Nancy Shearer. “A majority of the competitors at this event use our products and this is a nice way to support them. Out of all the events that we support and attend each year, this is by far the best.”

Purina Mills will be doing on-site promotions, including product sampling and autograph signings, as well as hosting appearances with their top ambassadors. Laura Kraut (2000 Sydney Olympian) and Todd Minikus (2001 USA Equestrian of the Year) as long-time ambassadors of the company will be involved with many of the onsite promotions.

“This is a great event for all of us,” said Minikus. Having one of my sponsors support this event in such a big way makes me feel proud to be a part of team Purina.”
