Carriage Exhibition and Drive
Remember the days gone past where horse and carriage were the primary mode of transportion? Come see the beauty and elegance of these carriages and their horses. On Sunday, August 31, LCHS is hosting an invitational carriage event which will include a pass through the main ring, followed by a cross country pleasure drive. The carriage group will be invited to the Sponsor's Tent for a cocktail reception and a light dinner after the drive.

In honor and rememberance of these elegant times, the "Concours d' elegance" Trophy will be awarded to the "best turnout", which is defined as the most pleasing overall appearance and impression of the horse(s), carriage, harness, driver and passenger(s) together. This trophy has been established and donated by Dr. and Mrs. Rosato.

In addition, in memory of Mr. Robert M. Dunn, the "Sportsmanship in Carriage Driving" Trophy will be awarded to the team demonstrating the best sportsmanship during the show. This trophy will be donated and presented by the Dunn Family.

To gain information about driving in this event, please call Dr. Donald Rosato at 610-827-7391.

Due to its success, the Trophy Presentation area will be returning for this year.

Trophy Cases
Champions at Ludwigs are presented with beautiful trophies which are then engraved with their names next to the past winners. In order to keep the history of the show alive and part of the local community, LCHS will be displaying the trophies throughout the year in two separate display cases. Thanks to the generosity of DNB First and Ludwig's Inn and Oyster Bar, friends and family can view your trophy in style! Stop in and see the beautiful displays of trophies, enjoy seeing past winners and speculate on this year's winners! Ludwig's Inn and Oyster Bar has a beautiful Bryce Ritter trophy case located in their lobby. DNB First (Rt 401 and 100 intersection) houses the trophies in the lobby in an antique oak display case.
