On Nassar’s heals, but just unable to catch him by a solid second, was Ireland’s Ireland’s Paul O’Shea and Tequestrian Farms’ Imerald Van’t Voorhof.  This pair has also had an enormously successful season, just off a big win in February at the CP Palm Beach Masters. Ireland also muscled their way into the top 3 with Darragh Kenny aboard Kerry Anne LLC’s Important De Muze, who also could not quite catch Nassar’s quick and tidy round.

The top 10 in the final results was a fine representation of international equestrian sport being showcased here in Marion County. Riders represented Egypt, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Germany and the USA all took part in the final victory gallop. Ocala Horse Properties’ wants to extend a special congratulations to Ocala’s own Scott Keach and Southern Cross Equestrian’s Born to Be Picobello Z, who nearly pulled off a clear round till the final jump where they had one down.

With the conclusion of the Great American $1 Million Grand Prix in the Ocala Horse Properties’ Stadium, this brings the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit to a close for the 2019 season. We are always eager to support our regional horse show community and we’re happy to see it thriving in our back yard.  As always, supporting Ocala’s equestrian world is a core passion for the team at Ocala Horse Properties.
