Saugerties, N.Y. – April 5, 2022 – HITS, LLC is pleased to announce that two of its marquee competitions were recognized by the National Show Hunter Hall of Fame (NSHHF). The HITS Championship Hunter Prix Finals (HITS-on-the-Hudson VIII) and the Vermont-Manchester Classic were each named one of the Top Ten Horse Shows of 2021.
