2026 Marked a Celebration of the Rebirth of the Lake Placid Horse Shows
Wins by Molly Ashe Cawley (USA) in the $100,000 FEI 3* Richard Feldman Grand Prix Presented by Friends of Lake Placid and her daughter, Taylor, in the $15,000 Horseflight SJHOF 1.45m Junior/Amateur Jumper Classic made for a memorable Saturday and highlighted the second week of the 2026 Lake Placid Horse Shows (LPHS), Sponsored by The Bainbridge Companies and Presented by Sea Shore Stables, at the North Elba Showgrounds.
In many ways, this year marked a celebration of the Lake Placid Horse Shows as expressed by LPHSA Inc. Chairman Philip Richter. “As we celebrated the birth of our nation, we also celebrated the re-birth of the Lake Placid Horse Shows. With incredible support and major contributions from so many, we have succeeded in returning the Lake Placid Horse Shows to their former glory. We drew a record number of entries, including some of our sport’s greatest stars such as McLain Ward, Rodrigo Pessoa and Nayel Nassar.
“We are extremely proud of our new rings and the improvements that have been made to the stabling area, and we thank everyone who helped make all of that possible. I also want to give a special thank-you to Rick Preston and the Town of North Elba for the incredible job they did building our magnificent new Clubhouse. I also thank our Board, our staff, our officials, our sponsors, and above all, all our exhibitors. We can never thank them enough for their belief and trust in us, and for their incredible response to the investment we’ve made in these horse shows and in re-establishing Lake Placid and the North Elba Show Grounds as one of the premier horse shows and horse show facilities anywhere in the country!
“The Lake Placid Horse Shows are now firmly secure for the next 50 years, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for many years to come!”
