Personal Maybes
Yearly events that I do, but may or may not post about. Likelihood of a post for these depends on the occasion, the mood of the moment, and the thinness/fullness of my blogging calendar when the date rolls around.
Family Birthdays
MLK Day 5K Drum Run, the one IRL 5K that I plan to keep doing, January.
The Western States Trail Ride, Virtual Tevis & IRL Tevis. Will certainly post VT if we do it, since that involves the home team and is actually on topic. Begins 100 days before the IRL Tevis, which is sometime in summer. Some years I post about virtually following the IRL Tevis in July/August.
American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, April.
Rolex, virtually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What can I say, I’m an old dog. The Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event. April. So many posts: Rolex, Land Rover, Lexington, Kentucky Horse Park.
Lexington Junior League Charity Horse Show, virtually, cheer for SSF, July
World’s Championship Horse Show, aka Louisville, virtually, cheer for SSF, August

Note
Started to add links to posts from various years. Too many. Looked cluttered. The point of this post is to remind me going forward, not to document what I have done in the past. I do that in enough other places.

A flower on your birthday is such a delightful gift. Thank you. Mom
You remind me that I need to do this.

Be interesting to see if I use this for reference or if it sinks into the sands of time.
