SAUGERTIES, NEW YORK (January 5, 2012) --- HITS, Inc. is pleased to announce that Great American Insurance Group returns as a sponsor of all HITS circuits, as well as the Marshall & Sterling League in 2012. As one of the leading insurance agencies in the nation, Great American Insurance Group has been a proud sponsor of HITS Horse Shows for more than 20 years and is proud to continue their relationship.
Great American Insurance Group is based out of Cincinnati, Ohio with over 100 locations in North America and Western Europe. They have maintained an “A” rating or higher from A.M. Best Company for over 100 years, being only of only four property and casualty insurers to do so.
As the road to the $1 Million Grand Prix begins again this winter at the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit, HITS Desert Circuit and HITS Arizona Winter Circuit, the level of Grand Prix competition will be at an all-time high. Coined The Great American Time to Beat, Great American Insurance will sponsor efforts by Grand Prix to establish and beat previous times with a fast, clear effort. Also, at the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit, Great American Insurance Group will be the presenting sponsor of the largest HITS Ocala Grand Prix purse and circuits season finale – the $100,000 Sullivan GMC Truck Grand Prix.
Great American Insurance Group is ideal for small and mid-sized businesses and is dedicated to helping businesses succeed with a secure financial safety plan. When it comes to the world of equine, Great American Insurance is there every step of the way.
“Great American Insurance Group and HITS have had a long-standing relationship for over twenty years,” said Ken Standlee of Great American in Ocala, Florida. “We have a great deal of respect for HITS and the entire equestrian community. Throughout the years we have built solid relationships with many business owners who embrace the same values that we stand for. As a horseman I know what it takes to succeed and at Great American we recognize the efforts and hard work of everyone involved. We’re very pleased and excited to move forward for another successful year.”
