HITS is very excited to announce that Longines will be sponsoring the Longines FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping of the United States of America 2018, as well as the Longines Grand Prix during Week V of the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit at HITS Post Time Farm in Ocala, Florida. Longines has been sponsoring equestrian events since the early 1900s and while their recent show jumping sponsorships include the FEI World Cup™ and the Longines Global Champions Tour, this is the first year they have been the title sponsor of the Longines FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping of the United States of America 2018.

The FEI Nations Cup is returning for its fourth year at HITS Post Time Farm and in 2018 will be an FEI CSIO5* event. Featuring the $300,000 Longines Grand Prix and the $450,000 Longines FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping of the United States of America 2018, HITS Ocala Week V will offer over $1 million dollars in prize money.

Being added this year is a Nations Cup for Children and Juniors. The competition follows a similar format to the Longines FEI Nations Cup™ and gives these young competitors an opportunity to show at a prestigious level of show jumping. “I am very excited for what this event will have to offer young up-and-coming equestrians. With the finals being in the stadium and all to march in the Parade of Nations, held in Downtown Ocala Square, on Saturday alongside the professionals, it truly is a one of a kind experience for all competitors” says HITS Owner and CEO Tom Struzzieri. This competition will also be held during Week V of the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit. For more information on the Children and Juniors Nations Cup, contact the HITS office at 845-246-8833.
