The Lake Placid Horse Shows feature non-stop equestrian action starting at 8:00 am each day with more than 100 classes of competition each week for all levels of competitors ranging from young children on ponies to Olympic medalists.

The inaugural Adirondack Horse Show will take place July 8-13, highlighted by the $100,000 Woodlea Farms Adirondack Grand Prix on Saturday, July 12. These are action-packed events, and the shows feature over $750,000 in prize money! Another exciting addition in 2014 is that all dirt rings including both Hunter Rings, the Jumper Annex, and all warm-up rings will have NEW FOOTING! The horse shows’ famed all-grass Richard M. Feldman Grand Prix field will remain the same.
Admission to the horse show is $2.00 on weekdays and $5.00 on weekend days. Tickets may be purchased at the entrance gate, and advance ticket purchase is not necessary as there is plenty of general seating available. Children under the age of 12 are admitted free, and discounts are available for groups of 20 or more. For a behind the scenes look at the shows, guided walking tours are offered Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 11:30 AM. The tours groups meet at the LPHS retail booth, and last approximately 1 hour. “Adding a third week provides more opportunity for our exhibitors to compete in a world-class horse show, and for our spectators to enjoy watching world-class riders in a beautiful vacation setting,” said Richard M. Feldman, Chairman of the Lake Placid Horse Show Association. “We also host an array of family-friendly activities, so the Lake Placid Horse Shows are going to be the best THREE weeks to spend in the Adirondacks!”

The scenic beauty of the lakes is breathtaking and home to one of the oldest yacht clubs in America established in 1885. Sailing is a way of life on St. Regis. The club still sails the nine original Idems, a 32 ft, gaff rigged sailboat, crew of five, designed by Crane in 1900 just for these lakes. There are three other class sailboats that join the August Series. Today the chain of lakes and community are virtually suspended in time. A special place where rich history steeped in tradition presides over fast-paced modern luxuries to retain the architectural prowess and heritage of Great Camps built between the 1890’s and 1930’s. No commercial activity is allowed on Spitfire Lake thus preserving the timeless quality of this unique summer community. This gently sloping beautifully wooded property is quietly bordered by Camp Pot Luck on the west built by Henry L. Hotchkiss, circa 1881 and Camp Cobblestone to the north circa 1900. The site has 608 feet of lakefront with full southern exposure nestled within majestic white pines, spruces and hemlocks and awe-inspiring views of the lake. The site has an APA approved boat house site with plans in place ready for construction. Located only 10 miles from the Adirondack Regional Airport (SLK). If you are serious about securing a legacy property, don’t let this pass you by. Take a step back in time and create your own perfect Adirondack retreat.
