HITS 2022
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO...
HITS is excited to bring back FEI CSI competition to the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit in 2022. Each of the seven FEI weeks will feature two FEI CSI2* Grand Prix, one on Thursday and one on Saturday. This will enable FEI horses to show nationally on Wednesdays and Sundays.
“The ‘Thursday through Saturday’ FEI schedule worked well for us at HITS Saugerties this past summer,” said Tom Struzzieri, President and CEO of HITS, LLC. “It gave the Grand Prix riders a lot of flexibility with their horses, and it gives us the chance to do something unique in Ocala. We have maintained a high level of prize money and are offering both USEF and FEI high performance competition - something that no one else outside of South Florida or Southern California is doing.”
All ten weeks of the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit will host a USEF Grand Prix on Sunday, including the Great American $500,000 Grand Prix to close the season on Sunday, March 27. The non-FEI weeks (I, II, and X) will also host a second USEF Grand Prix on Friday. In all, the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit will feature over $2.5 Million in Jumper prize money throughout the Circuit and $3 Million overall.

Over the last 20 years, Dr. Poonam Warman, M.D. has served the Ocala community by providing the highest quality medical care in Pulmonary and Internal Medicine. Dr. Warman obtained her medical education and training from well-respected physicians in her field of medicine at distinguished institutions. Dr. Poonam Warman has a B.A. from Case Western Reserve University and was on the Dean’s List. She received her M.D. from The Ohio State University School of Medicine with High Honors in gross anatomy, embryology, and clinical radiology. Following medical school, she completed her residency in categorical internal medicine, at the Northeast Ohio College of Medicine. Dr Warman did a Fellowship in Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at the University of Oklahoma during which time she published a chapter in a Medical Textbook. While Dr. Warman has extensive medical education and training, she still continues to refine her expertise and skills with advanced medical education courses and training for current, stateof-the- art medical care.
Dr. Warman has been invited to lecture by her peers at primary care physician and hospital meetings on issues in pulmonary medicine, including diagnosis and management. Additionally, she served as a subinvestigator for studies and trials for complex matters such as special medical diagnosis of antithrombin, patients with severe sepsis, thromboembolism, and pneumonia.

Dr. Warman is a highly rated Pulmonologist and Internal Medicine physician, not only from within the medical community and her peers, but more importantly with her patients.

She has always had a passion for helping others to heal and it is reflected in her reviews from patients. One such review states, “My 86 year old mother, my 66 year old sister, (with advanced stage early onset Alzheimers), and I saw Dr. Warman. She is Amazing! She went out of her way to see my mom every time she was in the hospital. She treated all of us with great dignity and respect.”
