Welcome To The Lake Placid Horse Shows!
Lake Placid, site of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games, is home to two of the nation's most prestigious equine masterpieces - the Lake Placid and I Love New York Horse Shows. Come visit our resort community and see world class riders and horses participate in championship Hunter and Jumper competition. Watch as they win over $470,000 in prize money and awards!

Action begins at 8:00 AM each show day with classes running simultaneously in four separate rings until approximately 5:00 PM. Come for an hour or a whole day and see competition ranging from ponies ridden by tomorrow's champions to members of the U.S. Equestrian Team atop some of the world's best horses.

INSIDE THE SHOW RING . . .
The Hunter competition has its roots in the elegant tradition of fox hunting. Beautifully groomed horses and ponies are judged for their manners as well as their style of jumping over natural fences simulating the hunt field.

Power and speed are the keys to winning in the Jumper arena where equine athletes compete over obstacles as big as 5'6" in height and as much as four feet wide. Described as a cross between the excitement of Thoroughbred racing and the bold speed of downhill skiing, the Olympic sport of Grandprix Show Jumping is something you will not want to miss.

OUTSIDE THE SHOW RING . . .
Food and snack service is offered daily. Special group breakfasts or luncheons may be arranged and catered in the Turf & Field Club Club by calling the show office. Be sure to browse our specialty boutiques offering equine apparel, horse care products, home furnishings, fine jewelry, the Shows' commemorative T-shirts and sportswear and much more.
