2003 Hampton Classic

The Lure of the Hamptons & Horses for Melissa Cohn

Business, Riding and Sponsorships Make a Good Match In the Hamptons

By Diana De Rosa

It began with Melissa Cohn, owner and founder of The Manhattan Mortgage Company, purchasing her home in the Hamptons. Shortly after that she and her daughters started riding. Then in 1996 she opened her first branch office in the Hamptons and three more followed.

Before she knew it she was buying her own horses and building her own barn. Then five years ago Cohn decided matching up her company with the Hampton Classic Horse Show was a good fit. It's been a Hamptons whirlwind for Melissa. The Hamptons and Horses have figured out the key to Melissa's heart in more ways than one.
