I am compiling a perpetual reference calendar, see below, for major horse shows and events. The specific dates may wobble from year to year, but the placement is usually constant, e.g. the first Sunday in May.
Partly, the goal is to use the list to keep abreast of major happenings in the horse world. First, to feel ever so slightly more connected to the wide, wide world. Second, being every so slightly more connected may help me get back into marketing articles. Third, failing this, perhaps I will get post ideas.
Mostly, it’s a list. Making a list warms my little OCD heart.
What have I missed? Specifically, Haynet & other international readers: Help me redress the US bias of my list. What is the big national show for your breed/discipline in your country?
