Richard Feldman, Chairman of the Lake Placid Horse Show Assn. reports entries are off about 8% this year.  The Lake Placid, NY Show, a long running competition, will still attract plenty of horses, exhibitors and spectators this year.  Full story here:  http://www.wptz.com/news/19838099/detail.html

Many shows are reporting reduced numbers for this show season.  It's all part of the economic cycle; horse showing isn't going away.  However, show organizers are challenged to do the best possible job attracting people and horses to their shows this year and set the stage for next year.
