HITS (Horses in the Sun) has left the area for another year!

In a paean to this fantastic competition involving hundreds of people, horses, families, kids, other animals, etc., from around the world, we're showing some of the photos that didn't make the first cut.

The final competition was held yesterday, March 25, and the monies and trophies have been handed out.  We are looking forward to next year's competition which will begin in January of 2019.

We're on the same wavelength today Lowell.. not horses but saying goodbye to annual events with a few last photos ☺ Horsey people always look so confident don't they!

Such a great series -- beautiful animals and dedicated owners/riders. And beautiful winter weather/skies!! What fun to see it all in person.

It seems like it was all women involved in the event, Lowell! Or they were the only ones you took pics of! ;-))

Some lovely horsey pictures there. I used to go to those horse meets with my horse many years ago. My DIL has a horse, and she has taken over going to the competitions.

A medley of incredibly beautiful animals. Impossible to choose one photo of them because each animal is special. The acronym HITS is perfect for the photos and event. Imagine it is a fantastic event to visit.
