New Management for West Coast Circuits

Four committed West Coast equestrian families, whose vision is horse first and a fabulous experience for all, have come together to form Apex Equisport for the purpose of acquiring the HITS Sunshine, Desert and Arizona Circuits as well as the facility located in Thermal, CA. The purchase, effective immediately, results in a new management team ready to produce the upcoming National Sunshine Series beginning October 30, 2019 at what will now be known as The Desert International Horse Park.

Excited for the challenge and focused on the upcoming events in 2019/2020, the wheels will be turning, both literally and figuratively, as the new team prepares to host the two week National Sunshine Series in October-November 2019, the eight week Desert Circuit in the winter of 2020; as well as the Arizona Winter Circuit at the Pima County Fairgrounds, for six weeks of the 2020 winter season.
