Welcome to the Menlo Charity Horse Show 

Since 1970, Menlo has been home to top show jumping and horse showing in Northern California!  Menlo was named Nor Cal Horse show of the year in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and in 2007, Menlo was named the second best show in the country by Phelps Equestrian Sports Network.  Come visit Menlo at the beautiful grounds of the Menlo Circus Club.

Action begins at 7:00 AM each show day with classes running simultaneously in three separate rings until approximately 5:00 PM. Come for an hour or a whole day and see competition ranging from ponies ridden by tomorrow's champions atop to some of the world's finest horses and top riders.

Hunters and Jumpers....

At Menlo we have one Jumper ring and two hunter rings.

The hunter ring is where you see the beauty and elegant tradition of riding.  From the days of fox hunting, hunters are judged on the manners and style of the competitor.

The Jumper ring is all about power and speed where our equine athletes compete over obstacles as big as 5'6" in height and as much as four feet wide. The Olympic sport of Grandprix Show Jumping is something you will not want to miss.

Outside the rings...

There is a lot to do at Menlo.  With three rings continuously going, there are lots of horses and "rounds" to watch.  But need to get away for a few, we have wonderful food in the Circus Club and outside on the grounds.  Shopping enthusiasts, be prepared for some great boutiques offering equine apparel, horse care products, home furnishings, fine jewelry, the Shows' commemorative T-shirts and sportswear and much more.
