OCALA, FL (November 23, 2009) — HITS is proud to announce that Brook Ledge Horse Transportation has been named the Official Equine Transportation Company of the 2010 HITS Ocala Winter Circuit that is set to begin on January 20 at HITS Post Time Farm, in Ocala, Florida.
Besides providing high-quality shipping services, Brook Ledge also offers excellent layover facilities, transportation between horse sales, and is the proud sponsor of both local and international events, including the 2010 HITS Ocala Winter Circuit, HITS Saugerties Show Series and HITS Culpeper Show Series.

Brook Ledge is the title sponsor of one of the most popular classes at the 2010 HITS Ocala Winter Circuit. Each week, riders tune up in the $2,500 Brook Ledge Open Welcome Class as they prepare for the weekly Grand Prix classes.
“Brook Ledge Horse Transportation is staffed with horsemen,” said HITS’ Account Executive for Corporate Sponsorship Lisa Engel. “From hauling to managing your transportation, Brook Ledge’s success is earned because they understand the importance of safety, timeliness and quality service — from the moment the trip is booked, to the moment the horses leave the trailer and everything in between. Brook Ledge is expanding beyond the East Coast and now transports horses all over the country. They are used by both top trainers and serious horsemen.”
Show jumping returns to HITS Post Time Farm for two back-to-back weeks of competition on Wednesday, January 20 with the Ocala January Classic. After a week off, competition returns with six consecutive weeks of AA-rated horse shows on Tuesday, February 9 with the Ocala Winter Classic. “If you haven’t booked your horses’ ride yet, make sure to contact Brook Ledge today,” added Engel.
During the 2010 HITS Ocala Winter Circuit there will be 14 Grand Prix classes and each is a qualifier for the Pfizer $1 Million Grand Prix that will be held at HITS-on-the-Hudson on Sunday, September 12, 2010.
In addition to the 14 qualifying Grand Prix events, HITS Ocala will also be home to the all-new 3’3″ Marshall & Sterling Hunter Derby, a unique two-round classic which will be offered each week of the circuit. This popular new division was a huge success at HITS Saugerties this past summer and is the Marshall & Sterling League’s 13th hunter division that riders can earn points toward qualifying for the Finals.
HITS, Inc. produces high-quality, international-level hunter/jumper horse shows. Based in upstate New York in the village of Saugerties, HITS has been producing shows since 1982 and is now a nationwide company with world-class circuits in California, Florida, Arizona, New York and Virginia. In 2010, HITS will take the industry to new heights when it hosts the Pfizer $1 Million Grand Prix in Saugerties on September 12.
