Every year, since 1970, the Menlo Circus Club plays host to the Menlo Charity Horse Show. The six-day event attracts the top sporthorses and ponies throughout the West Coast (and beyond) to compete over jumps, all in support of the Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. But all horsiness aside, the show also feature a good dose of fashion from the obstacles decorated by luxe fashion brands to the beloved Vendor Row.

The show continues through the weekend so plan a day (or days) of shopping and spectating—the two go magically together.
