We are excited to be presenting the 77th Annual Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show. For three quarters of a century, the Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show has been a cornerstone in the Chester County equestrian community. In 1943 the Ludwig’s Corner area was rural with a strong tradition of fox hunting, horse sports and farm ownership. With a thought to legging-up their hunt horses for the coming season, as well as to gather neighbors and friends for outdoor entertainment, a group of local property owners planned a horse show to be held on Labor Day. That equestrian tradition has continued through the decades and we are proud to boast second - and even third - generation competitors over Labor Day weekend. This has been an especially challenging year for equestrian competitions, and LCHSA has strived to implement an inviting class schedule, with a friendly and safe competition while continuing this cherished Chester County tradition. The mission of the LCHSA Foundation - a 501(c)3 - is to preserve, maintain and improve our show grounds, while supporting equestrian sports and community events at the show grounds. Your support of our annual horse show, which is our biggest fundraiser, helps drive this mission of the Foundation. Again, welcome to the 77th annual horse show. Your participation is deeply appreciated and we wish everyone a successful weekend competing in Hunters, Jumpers and Equitation.
