National Horse Show coming Sept 4-6th

Here's one of the best opportunities all year to sketch horses and riders, and bring the family along for a day of fun in the shade and ocean breezes of Palos Verdes.

Portuguese Bend National Horse Show is an annual horse show held at Ernie Howlett Park in Palos Verdes. The proceeds all benefit Children's Hospital Los Angeles. The park is on Hawthorne Blvd, about 5 miles from our Torrance showroom.

You can see pics on my post from August 2008.

Here's the schedule for the 2009 show, to be held Sept 4-6th. You can find more info at the website http://www.pcch.net and click on the button for the Portuguese Bend show. In addition to the event listed below, there are horse show classes going on all during show hours. and you can get really close to horses and the action.
