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. In January
2006 HITS entered into a private equity arrangement
with Leonard Green & Partners, LP in Los Angeles.
