Envisioned by trucking mogul Larry Roberts as a combination of world-class equestrian sport and luxurious country club living, the World Equestrian Center Ocala will be an event venue and horse community like no other in North Central Florida, and even perhaps the entire southeast. Its connection with Golden Ocala and convenience to HITS in particular will cement its status as a premier luxury equestrian destination in both Marion County and the entire state. The next step for Roberts and his team moving forward is to consult building and engineering staffers to produce a development agreement and submit a traffic analysis of the area WEC will occupy.

Great things are certainly on the horizon for horse country.

With World Equestrian Center Ocala’s development officially plunging ahead, sports fans and lovers of country club living alike can be assured that in the coming years, Marion County will be the word in equestrian luxury and competition.

HITS | Ocala Winter Circuit As one of the sponsors, we are excited to announce the HITS 2018 Winter Circuit has returned to Marion County, and brings with it over three months of world-class hunter/jumper competitions. The city of Ocala has been privileged to host this renowned event featuring the biggest names in equestrian sport since 2002, and continues to build a rich relationship with what has become one of the top rated hunter/jumper shows in the world. Every year the show begins in early December and runs through late March, showcasing the talents of riders and equine athletes alike. For the past three years, this competition has attracted world class talent leading up to the HITS $1 Million Grand Prix finale. The HITS Ocala Grand Prix is the second jewel in the HITS triple crown between Grands Prix in Thermal, California and Saugerties, New York.

A Little HITS-tory

For over 30 years, HITS has been dedicated to promoting hunter/jumper sports in the United States.

Horse Shows In The Sun, aka HITS, was officially launched in 1982 right here in Central Florida with founder Thomas Struzzieri’s first horse show circuit in Gainesville, which would grow into the HITS Winter Circuit. Since then, HITS has become one of the biggest and most respected names in hunter/ jumper competitions, attracting only the best and brightest riders from around the world. The Winter Circuit moved to Ocala’s Post Time Farm in 2002 and has been a signature equestrian event in North Central Florida ever since. In 2014, HITS debuted the Ocala $1 Million Grand Prix as the thrilling conclusion to the final phase of winter events, completing what is popularly known as the “HITS Triple Crown.” The first HITS $1 Million Grand Prix was launched in Saugerties, New York in 2010 followed by Thermal, California’s $1 Million Grand Prix at Desert Horse Park in 2013.

The Farm

The Sport

Its 450 acres encompass 40 barns with nearly 1,200 temporary stalls, 12 competition rings and 52 miles of fencing. During the competition, you can expect over 30 vendors offering food, fine equestrian gifts, and riding equipment. The farm’s Overlook VIP Club offers an exceptional show experience with tented lounge and tables overlooking the competitions.

Breakfast and lunch are prepared by the expertly trained culinary staff of the Diamond Mills Hotel & Tavern in Saugerties, New York and special menus crafted by Executive Chef Giuseppe Napoli for the days of the Longines FEI Nations Cup Jumping and $1 Million Grand Prix. This year, there are improvements to the grounds of the already phenomenal venue, enhancing the landscaping and aesthetics for guests and temporary residents alike.

The term “hunter-jumper” actually refers to two different classes of competition, which are conducted and judged in different ways. Hunter classes evaluate horses based on their appearance, confirmation, and the manner in which they complete their course of jumps. The ideal hunter jumps smoothly and quietly, with a consistent pace and long stride. Hunter courses are usually designed with like-natural features and jumps similar to those found in fox hunting and hunter paces.

Jumper classes are much more fast-paced and straightforward. Speed and accuracy are central. Riders strive to have the fastest round with the least “faults”—faults include knocked-down rails, a horse’s refusal to jump, and completing the course in more than the time allotted.

If a horse refuses a jump twice, both horse and rider are eliminated from the class.

HITS Post-Time Farm has grown into nearly a small city of its own, with extensive amenities to accommodate the thousands of spectators, competitors, and equine athletes.

HITS may be a world-class showcase of hunter-jumper sport— but what does that mean? What should a first-time spectator expect?
