Culpeper, Virginia
(April 19, 2007) — HITS is pleased to announce that
O'Connor Signature at the Oaks Community will be
designated the title sponsor of the $10,000 O'Connor
Signature at the Oaks Jr/A-O Jumper High Classic
for the Commonwealth National Horse Show, April
25-29 at HITS Culpeper.
The
Oaks is perfectly located in Lake City, Florida,
in the triangle between Ocala, Jacksonville and
Tallahassee. "Lake City gives you all of
the advantages of Florida living, without the
weather challenges and financial burdens of owning
property on the coast," said President of
Dick's Realty, Bradley Dicks. "Here, you
have the best of both worlds, with the peace and
beauty of a small-town, yet easy access to all
of the cultural activities and practical conveniences
of Gainesville and Jacksonville."
Set to begin sales
this spring, The Oaks offers 240 idyllic one-to-five
acre lots set among gigantic oak trees on 1,222
acres. The Oaks is designed so that each lot has
value for the owner, with picturesque views and
access to at least one of the many top-of-the-line
equestrian amenities within the community.
As the first branded
equestrian facility in the world, O'Connor Signature
at The Oaks is modeled after successful golf course
brands such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and
Tom Fazio. The O'Connor Signature designation
marks the highest industry standards for design,
construction, programming, staffing and management
to insure optimum quality, safety and efficiency.

Signature at the Oaks Community has to offer please

The $10,000 O'Connor
Signature at the Oaks Jr/A-O Jumper High Classic
will be featured at the HITS Saugerties Show Series.
The HITS Saugerties season commences on May 30
with three consecutive weeks of show jumping.
Then, show jumping returns to the world-class
equestrian facility on July 25 for another three
weeks of competition. Finally, the HITS Saugerties
circuit concludes with one final week from September
5-9.
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.
As a result, HITS, Inc. is able to develop and
execute exciting operational and strategic initiatives
that both solidify its well-established position
as the leader in horse show management and allows
for new growth opportunities.
