Rolling Hills Estates horse show
The Portuguese Bend National Horse Show comes to Ernie Howlett Park in Rolling Hills Estates for its 52nd annual installment beginning Friday, Sept 4.
The three-day event, sponsored by Peninsula Committee Childrens Hospital, will have the feel of an old-fashioned hometown fair. In addition to equestrian events, there will be food booths, a hay bale boutique, a Children's Circle and more. Children's events include pony rides, magic, a petting zoo, face- and hair-painting, games and prizes.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Sunday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Riding events will start each day at 7:30 a.m.
General admission is $5 for adults, $2 for children ages 4 to 12, and free for children under 4. Friday's event is free for all ages all day. Ringside tables are also available. See the Web site for complete details.

About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
