Each year, the Lake Placid Horse Shows’ two Grand Prix events attract some of the nation’s best horses and riders. This year, The Lake Placid Horse Show Association is excited to welcome Hermès as the title sponsor of both its Grand Prix events. The Lake Placid and I Love New York Horse Shows feature every level of competition from children under 6 competing in the Juliam Farm Lead Line class to Olympic veterans competing in the Grandprix – the pinnacle of equestrian show jumping competition.
