HITS Thermal Desert Cities Horse Show

Saddle up and head to the horse show of the year, HITS Thermal, from January – March 2013, and watch as riders and their horses jump, leap and gallop their way across the course with amazing grace and skill.

HITS – which stands for Horse Shows In the Sun – specializes in hunter/jumper horse shows that judge both horse and rider from the time they enter the ring to the minute they leave on a variety of factors – like grace, style, presentation and appearance. In 2009 alone, 3,000 horses, 10,500 riders and 25,000 spectators were in attendance at HITS Thermal, and more than $1.5 million in prizes was awarded to the winners.

This thrilling and unique event is family-friendly and appropriate for all ages, so bring the kids with to see one of the largest and most exciting equestrian events in the country.
