2nd Place: Tracey Fenney & MTM COMO NO (36.766) 
3rd Place: Rowan Willis & ITALIAN GOLD (37.810)
"My most favorite part of HITS Ocala is that I live here, but with that being said I moved here because of HITS Ocala. It's great because it is such a big property with plenty of area to ride, so much that you don't feel like you are squashed into the horse show grounds. Hayley's Grand Prix horses are both on the older side but she is planning on showing in the two $100,000 Grand Prix and hopefully the Million. We are also planning on making a trip back out to Saugerties in the fall for the HITS Championship and would love to go to HITS Chicago."
