Class: $125,000 HITS Grand Prix,
presented by EMO.

Community: Pulled together during chaos.
Sunday morning came along blissfully and the second week of HITS Thermal was coming to a close. The $125,000 HITS Grand Prix, presented by EMO, commenced at noon and as horses negotiated the Leopoldo Palacios course, the winds kicked up.

It huffed and puffed and blew the jumps down, it blew the VIP Oasis Club tables and chairs down, it blew the hunter ring fences to the ground. It became clear that the horse show could not go on and what happened next was commendable - Grand Prix riders, VIP guests, HITS staff all teamed up to create a safer atmosphere in a matter of minutes. As the wind blew harder, the collective group removed trays and tablecloths, laid down the tables and chairs, and carefully stored the ceramic pots and glass signs...

Packing and getting ready
Packing and getting ready for shows, according to show moms, is the #1 stressor when it comes to competing. Moms and [especially] teen-age daughters find packing - getting ready for the horse show - a difficult time full of tension with occasional temper outbursts... >
