Where your gift goes

LPHSA, Inc.

LPHSA, Inc. is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to run the two Lake Placid horse shows. Since 1970 they have been a cornerstone of American show jumping, and with FEI competition back, they are entering a new chapter. Your gift helps write it.

LPHSA and the Town of North Elba rebuilt the showgrounds together, and the money came from two places. New York State’s $7.8 million in grants went to the Town, for the spectator facilities and year-round use of the grounds. The horse shows’ side was paid for privately: $2 million in contributions has brought the competition and schooling rings up to modern standards. Your gift keeps those equestrian facilities current, and every contribution, at any level, makes a difference to the shows and to the community.

What private gifts have paid for

  • International all-weather footing in the competition rings
  • Redesigned ring layouts, which brought FEI competition back for 2025
