Laura Chapot's Wins Highlight Week Two at Lake Placid Horse Shows

Wins Every Day, Including Grand Prix, at I Love New York Horse Show

Lake Placid, New York - Laura Chapot of Neshanic Station, NJ won the $75,000 Equine Insurance Services/Great American Grand Prix to culminate the second week of the 46th annual Lake Placid Horse Shows, Presented by Sea Shore Stables, LLC. Her win capped a phenomenal week which saw her win several classes and came fifty years to the week after her mother Mary, a two-time Olympian and an inductee in the Show Jumping Hall of Fame, won the first show jumping Grand Prix ever held in the U.S. at the Chagrin Valley Horse Show in Cleveland, Ohio.

 

One of four starters to reach the jump-off by riding without penalty over the 16-jump, first-round course designed by Richard Jeffery, Chapot was the last to try the eight-jump tiebreaker course at the North Elba Show Grounds. The lead was held by Devin Ryan of Long Valley, NJ, who had completed the jump-off clean in 42.661 seconds on Cooper, the eight-year-old, Dutch Warmblood on whom he had won the $30,000 CMJ Sporthorse Jumper Classic on Friday. Chapot blazed over the course on ISHD Dual Star, a 13-year-old, Irish Sporthorse mare, and took the win by finishing clean in 42.214 seconds.

"You really had to go fast the entire course," Chapot said. "The one in the lead had gone very fast and if there was going to be any chance to win I knew I had to go fast right from the start. I had no intention of holding back. You might as well not go in the ring at all if you're not going to go for it."

 

Finishing third behind Chapot and Ryan was 21-year-old Northwestern University junior Catherine Tyree of Chicago with a clean jump-off ride in 45.617 seconds on Enjoy Louis and fourth was 2011 Pan American Games double Gold Medalist Christine McCrea of Windsor, CT who had four jump-off faults and a time of 43.410 seconds on Wannick WH.

Prior to the Grand Prix, Madison Goetzmann rode Wrigley to victory in the $10,000 Crowne Plaza Resort Junior Jumper Classic and Sima Morgello rode Orientales to the win in the $10,000 Whiteface Lodge Amateur-Owner Jumper Classic. Both Classics are member events of the Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series.

 

In the Crowne Plaza Junior Classic, Goetzmann was one of three entries to reach the jump-off with a clean ride over the 15-jump, first-round course. She then rode clean again and finished in 39.728 seconds to claim the win over Morgan Ward who finished second with a clean ride in 39.811 seconds on Quite High. Third place went to McKayla Langmeier who had four jump-off faults and a time of 40.449 seconds on Gabriel.

Voted one of the nation's top ten horse shows in 2014 by the National Show Hunter Hall of Fame, the Lake Placid Horse Shows feature more than 100 classes of competition each week for all levels of competition ranging from young children on lead-line ponies to Olympic medalists competing in the grand prix jumper ring. All three weeks are USEF 'AA' rated for hunters and 6* rated for Jumpers. In addition, the show offers more than $750,000 in prize money, and boasts an immaculate world-class venue in a vacation-type setting, all of which make it a favorite stop on the nation's hunter-jumper horse show circuit.

 

Following an off day on Monday, the Adirondack Horse Show, the third of show jumping's three weeks of horse shows in the Adirondacks, opens at the North Elba Show Grounds and continues through Saturday when it culminates with the $100,000 Woodlea Farms Grand Prix.
