ShowNet to offer live show data and videos at HITS Ocala

Saugerties, New York (January 9, 2015): HITS, Inc. is pleased to announce its partnership with ShowNet LLC to deliver live data and high-quality exhibitor video at the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit in 2015.

ShowNet offers subscribers up-to-the-minute show information and pre-start emails with the upcoming day’s classes, class counts, approximate start times, and specific entry information. In addition, select individual exhibitor videos will be made available for download.

“HITS always strives to provide the best possible services to the trainers, owners, exhibitors, and everyone else who works so hard to turn our shows into world-class competitions. That’s why we’re pleased to now offer state of the art technology to bring the most accurate and timely show information to them through the ShowNet mobile app,” said HITS President and CEO Thomas Struzzieri. “Whether you want to keep up with the action at several rings at the same time or download high-quality video of your horse’s performance, HITS will make sure you have what you need to enjoy a showjumping experience that’s second to none.”

The ShowNet service will begin with a beta rollout at the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit in January, with other HITS venues to follow suit later in 2015.

“ShowNet is extremely proud to partner with the HITS organization in the 2015 show jumping calendar year. Working with the country’s largest horse show management group, which delivers three individual $1 million classes, and offers the largest volume and diversity of classes available to the U.S. Show jumping community, is of great benefit to all ShowNet members. To now have HITS horse show videos added to our rapidly growing database of over 400,000 videos so far is fantastic news for our members,” said ShowNet co-founder Grant Williams.

“The proactive support of the HITS senior management in upgrading the communications infrastructure at the Ocala facility in order for us to deliver our service to the HITS exhibitor and to the broader show jumping community has been outstanding and is a credit to the HITS group,” Williams continued.

The annual ShowNet subscription of $50 will offer exhibitors a personal video management system and access to live results and orders-of-go from HITS Ocala and any horse show that ShowNet serves. ShowNet strives to have all of the day’s videos online and available for customers by the end of the show day, or soon thereafter. In-gate monitors will also post ShowNet data on the grounds with live ring status, order-of-go, results, horse show alerts and messaging.

Live results from HITS Horse Shows will be free on the ShowNet website and ShowNet members will receive free live data on the mobile app as well. Video packages will be available ranging from $14.50 for single video purchases, to $45 to view every video generated at an individual horse show. As an introductory bonus, HITS participants will receive a special $25 video credit upon purchase of their first ShowNet video from HITS. Click here for full pricing and operations details.
