Pony rides, a petting area, National Circus Project and ASPCA stars are some of the highlights for the 33rd annual Hampton Classic Horse Show's Cablevision's Kids Day on Saturday, August 30. In its 15th year, Kids Day offers free admission to children under the age of 12 along with a free pony ride, among many other attractions.

In addition to the world-class equestrian competition, the horse show's Cablevision's Kids Day on Saturday will feature performances by members of the National Circus Project along with Alan the Magician and Ruby the Face Painter. Kids can also visit the animals in the petting zoo, Millstone Farm's miniature horses, and Teade, Huey, and Rodger, the trick-performing horses in the Exhibition Tent. And be sure to watch the Guide Dog Foundation puppies who will be demonstrating the skills they employ to help the blind and disabled in everyday life.

"Kids Day is a great opportunity for families to visit the Hampton Classic - between the attractions going on in the exhibition area for children as well as the variety of equestrian competitions being offered, there is sure to be something for everybody to enjoy!" said Shanette Barth Cohen, Executive Director of the Hampton Classic. Children attending on Kids Day will receive a special gift from Cablevision and will be entered in a free raffle for prizes donated by Hampton Classic sponsors and boutique vendors. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) will also be on hand at the Classic this year. Joanne Pentangelo of the ASPCA's Humane Education Department and Joe Pentangelo, Special Officer of the Humane Law Enforcement and a star of Animal Planet's "Animal Precinct," will be on hand at the horse show on Kid's Day to answer questions about how to help animals in need.
