HITS to host launch party after Grand Prix

HITS is proud to announce that it will host the launch party for the newly formed non-profit High Performance Equestrian Foundation on September 25 at 5 p.m. following the $25,000 Devoucoux Wild Card Grand Prix during the USGPL Finals at HITS Commonwealth Park, in Culpeper.

The High Performance Equestrian Foundation (HPEF) has been created to cultivate and provide financial support for the capable, under-funded equestrians who aspire to compete at the highest levels of equestrian sport.

The focus for the foundation will be on those competing at the Grand Prix Level for the first couple of years, until funds grow substantially enough to include aspiring riders not yet competing at the highest level.

The event will be open to all HITS exhibitors attending the USGPL Finals and will feature a live band, food, wine, beer and soft drinks in the Grand Prix Pavilion.

While there will be no charge, donations will be accepted and appreciated.

Show jumping at HITS Culpeper will resume with the USGPL Finals (September 23-27), featuring a full schedule of classes, including the $10,000 Pre-Green Hunter Classic, $15,000 Junior/Amateur-Owner Low Classic, $25,000 Junior/Amateur-Owner High Classic, $25,000 Devoucoux Wild Card Grand Prix and the $100,000 USGPL Invitational Grand Prix.
