HITS (Horses in the Sun) 2015, the international jumping competition, is back in Ocala at the Post Time Farm. Events are scheduled through most of March, culminating in the $1 million Gran Prix event on March 23.
We visited the HITS setup last week. It was rather cool and a weekday so not a lot was happening. But we got some decent photos which we'll post over the next few days.

How fun! We have an event here in March called the Red Hills International Horse Trials. I have always wanted to go.
That is definitely taking the sport seriously!
I'm looking forward to your pics! They are such beautiful creatures, Lowell.
Ah, and I do love horses!!
I wonder if they overheat in those covers.
Horses and money seem to be a popular pairing, don't they, Lowell? I look forward to more of your horsin' around.
(BTW: I got my idea to post tree pix from our friend in Haninge.)
It's been more than 50 years since I had a jumping horse. Ah, brings back memories. She was 17 hands 2 inches high and could easily jump any fence around. I never had any rig that looked like this however.
Wonderful, Lowell, I love horses!
Sounds like a great event, love the name too!
This must be a fun event! I don't know if my computer is weirding out... but did you change the font on your blog?
Both the horses and the folks riding them look so elegant...
Wow, looks like a great and big event, Lowell !
I'm looking forward to your pics!
This looks like a place for very serious horse people. I'll look forward to more photos.
It'll be great fun to see more photos of HITS from the "Horse Capital of the World.
Horse pictures! YaY!
I wouldn't expect to see blankets on them in sunny Florida though.
Gosh this is serious business Lowell, just checked the site.. that's a whole lot of prize money !
I would really like to see something like this...
Must be a fantastic event to watch!!
Beautiful series from the Horse Capital. Fun to get to see the setup. Thanks for sharing.
