53rd Annual Portuguese Bend Horse Show this weekend
The show actually kicks off Friday morning with riding events beginning at 7:30 a.m. each day through the weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 10-12) at Ernie Howlett Park in Rolling Hills Estates.
The event raises money for Children's Hospital Los Angeles -- specifically for the Clinical Imaging Research and Technology Program -- and is presented each year by the Peninsula Committee Children's Hospital.
Admission Friday is free for everyone. On Saturday and Sunday, admission is $5 for adults (children 4-12 are $2 each and those under 4 are free).

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.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
