M&S Insurance League

Since 1991, the Marshall & Sterling League has served to encourage and enhance the competition level of Children's and Adult Amateur Hunter and Jumper riders by providing the opportunity to compete at a prestigious National Finals Competition. Under the direction of HITS Founder, Tom Struzzieri, along with generous support from Marshall & Sterling Insurance, the League has grown immensely from 10 member shows and 100 riders in 1991, to over 1,100 shows and riders today.  The League offers competition in 25 divisions with fences 2’ to 3’6”, providing a unique opportunity for riders at novice and advanced levels to compete at the Marshall & Sterling Insurance League National Finals. 

Since the purchase of HITS LLC, many strategies for growth and success have been designed to promote member shows, encourage rider members and increase participation for 2023 and beyond. The addition of the West Coast Finals at HITS Del Mar Showpark, in Del Mar, CA, and the continuation of the National Finals at HITS-on-the-Hudson in Saugerties, New York, and the Midwest Finals at Lamplight Equestrian Center in Wayne, Illinois, remain the highlights of the season. Together with our Corporate Sponsors, the League is poised to be stronger than ever!
