HITS Announces its Members for the New West Coast Advisory Committee

March 8, 2008

Thermal, CA --- HITS is pleased to announce that it has formed a West Coast Advisory Committee to assist with the future stages of the development of HITS Thermal.

Members of the committee include Rich Fellers (Wilsonville, Oregon), Mary Manfredi (San Francisco, California), Rudy Leone (Sacramento, California), Lori DeRosa (San Diego, California), Joe Thorpe (Glendora, California), Tracy Baer (Huntington Beach, California) and Joie Gatlin (San Juan Capistrano, California).

"We are extremely proud of what he have accomplished at HITS Thermal in 2008," said HITS' High-Performance Liaison Dale Harvey. "However, we realize that there is still much more to be done to reach our goal of creating a world-class facility."

"This committee will allow us to remain on top of our exhibitors needs," he added. "Each member is a well respected fixture of the equestrian community from various areas on the West Coast. The group will work closely with the HITS Management Team to make the 2009 HITS Desert Circuit the best Winter Circuit anywhere in the world."

"I am looking forward to working with Show Manager Brian Morris and Dale Harvey to continue making Thermal a great place to show in the winter," said Gatlin.

Show jumping at HITS Thermal continues all weekend and will feature the $50,000 HITS Grand Prix on Sunday, March 9. The 2008 HITS Desert Circuit comes to a close next week with the all new Desert Circuit Championship Week that features the $200,000 Invitational Grand Prix. The Invitational is the crown jewel of the new Desert Circuit Championship that will close out the season with 17 different championship classes, including the R.W. Mutch Equitation Classic and the $10,000 ASG Software Solutions/USHJA International Hunter Derby Classic.

HITS, Inc. is a special events management company primarily focused on producing hunter/jumper horse shows. Based in upstate New York in the village of Saugerties, HITS produced its first horse show circuit in Gainesville, Florida in 1982. Since that time, HITS has grown into a nationwide company with world-class hunter/jumper circuits in California, Florida, Arizona, New York and Virginia.
