Ah, the Hampton Classicof all the horse shows the Chronicle covers, this one might be the most over-the-top picturesque. Between the fabulous horses and ponies, the luxury shopping, the incredible landscaping and the lobster stands, this place takes glamorous to a whole new level. Check out some pictures we got from around the horse show Friday morning.
