The Menlo Charity Horse Show has been called off for the second year in a row because of "continued uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic," organizers said earlier this month.

The event's co-chairs said in a March 4 email that the horse show, which is held annually in August at the Menlo Circus Club in Atherton, will be postponed until 2022. The horse show typically includes riding events, an auction and a gala dinner.

"As with 2020, this decision was very difficult and disappointing, but unlike 2020 we are optimistic that we are collectively rounding the corner, and in that spirit, we are planning for a robust return of our historic and iconic horse show in 2022," they wrote. "This is where we will be focusing our efforts for the remainder of this year and into next year. We plan to surprise and delight our Menlo family with a series of events beginning later this year and culminating in a fabulous 2022 horse show celebrating our 50th anniversary."

Organizers are encouraging people to donate to the Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Palo Alto, which the event has benefited for over a decade. The Vista Center aims to help visually impaired individuals increase their independence through "evaluation, counseling, education and training."
