HISTORY
HITS, Inc. is a special events management company primarily focused on producing hunter/jumper horse shows. Based in upstate New York in the village of Saugerties, HITS produced its first horse show circuit in Gainesville, Florida in 1982. Since that time, HITS has grown into a nationwide company with world-class hunter-jumper circuits in California, Florida, Arizona, New York and Virginia. HITS, Inc. produces three of the richest grand prix in the world with the Zoetis $1 Million Grand Prix in Saugerties, New York, the Thermal $1 Million Grand Prix in Thermal, California and the Ocala $1 Million Grand Prix in Ocala, Florida – all forming the first ever Triple Crown of Show Jumping. HITS Championship Weekend also boasts the crown jewels of the hunter discipline with the Diamond Mills $500,000 Hunter Prix Final and the HITS $250,000 Hunter Prix Final. 

In 2011, HITS, Inc. expanded its event management repertoire into endurance sports. Both HITS Triathlon Series and HITS Running Festivals present top-notch triathlon and running races through the United States.
