It  \nmarks her 40th year as coordinator of the Menlo Charity Horse Show. It is also the 50th wedding anniversary of her and her husband, Tom.  \nA reception honoring Ms. Glikbarg for her years of community service will be held 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 8, at the home of Susan and Gary Martin in Woodside. A modest woman, Ms. Glikbarg only agreed to the party when she was told it would be a benefit.  \nBetsy Glikbarg has ridden all her life, but has never shown horses, except as a youngster at camp. However, starting with a little family one-day event 40 years ago, she has steered the Menlo Charity Horse Show to its present six-day format, which has raised millions of dollars for the Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired.  \nThe horse show takes place from Tuesday, Aug. 10, through Sunday, Aug. 15, at the Menlo Circus Club, 190 Park Lane in Atherton. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.  \nThe early years  \nBetsy Glikbarg grew up in San Francisco and attended San Jose State University. As young marrieds, Tom and Betsy Glikbarg moved to Atherton 45 years ago. Betsy became a “career volunteer,” while raising three children. (Today, the children—Ellen, John and Bob —are grown and she is lucky enough to have eight grandchildren living nearby.)  \nAfter moving to Atherton, she kept a horse in her backyard.“I used to ride my horse over to the Circus Club and ride with Lois Spreckels. One day Lois said:‘I want to put on a little horse show at the club. Will you help me?’”  \nThe reason for the one-day  \nPhoto by Michelle Le/The Almanac  \nBetsy Glikbarg of Atherton, who is celebrating her 40th year as chairman of the Menlo Charity Horse Show, with thoroughbred Polly R, stabled at the Menlo Circus Club. Polly R will be shown at the horse show by trainer Peter Breakwell.  \nshow was to raise money for anew roof for the Circus Club horse barn. That first show was so successful that it expanded to two days the following year. On the third year, Ms. Spreckels announced she was going to New York “on a little vacation.”  \nMs. Glikbarg was on her own.  \nEarly on, Ms. Glikbarg asked for help from a few friends: Nan Chapman (a friend since childhood), Nancy Parker, Nancy Robinson, and Jane Yates (all of whom still actively participate) . The horse show committee now  \nnumbers 150 members. Through the years, the horse  \nshow has evolved from its original format into the current six-day “AA” show, the highest designated rating possible. It has been named “Best in the West”by members of the Pacific Coast Hunter/Jumper Association for more than 15 years.  \n“When something happens gradually, you don’t give it athought,” says Ms. Glikbarg. She credits her years in the Junior League of Palo Alto/Midpeninsula for giving her the organiza-  \ntional skills to chair the show.“They taught me so much,” she says.  \nBetsy Glikbarg sees her job asan administrator. The show has always had a professional horse show manager, Walter T. Haub of San Francisco.  \nFive years ago, she stood up ata horse show meeting and said:“I’m getting older and getting tired. I need help.”  \nFive people stepped up to the plate to offer their help.  \nThese co-chairs are: Steve Goldenberg, Suzanne Jain,  \nSuzanne Rischman, Wendy Harries, and Linda Salvador. Each takes a different segment of duties.  \n“My segment has always been (getting) sponsors,” says Ms. Glikbarg. “I start begging in January.”  \nThis year the show has 92 sponsors, the most ever.“I’m the organizer, but once the show starts, I’m the cheerleader,” says Ms. Glikbarg. She will be there every morning and on hand for the evening festivities.
