SAUGERTIES, NY (December 13, 2007)— HITS is proud to announce that Purina Mills will once again be the Official Equine Feed for all HITS Horse Shows, The Marshall & Sterling League and The Marshall & Sterling League Finals.

Purina Mills, which has been a sponsor of HITS since 2001,
is a leader in horse research and equine feed development. "Purina knows that different horses, different lifestyles and different circumstances call for different feeds," said Purina's Marketing Director Nancy
Shearer
. "So whether you're feeding an elite equine athlete, or a geriatric horse, or you need an all-round formula like Strategy for an entire herd, Purina makes a formula just right for you."
"We're pleased to count Purina as a long-standing sponsor of our horse shows. It's obvious from their exceptional equine feed products that Purina knows horses and we're very appreciative of their support, and of their commitment to our customers and our sport," says John Eickman, HITS' National Marketing Director.
The Purina trailer will also be on hand for Kids Day at the HITS Desert Circuit on February 10, 2008; on Kids Day at the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit on March 2, 2008; and on Kids Day at the HITS Saugerties Show Series on June 14, 2008. The Purina trailer has become a staple of the Kids Day festivities nationwide and is always one of the most popular events at the horse show.
