Sandy Van with best friend, Zip.

Aloha, and welcome to The Cowboy Calendar, a site designed to help coordinate Western riding events in Hawaii. All of us have at one time or another experienced the frustration of wanting to be in two places at the same time and having to make tough choices. Do I go to the barrel race or to the roping; the jackpot rodeo or the team sorting?

Hopefully, we can eliminate—or at least reduce—the need to make those kinds of choices. By checking The Cowboy Calendar, event planners can see what’s planned for any given weekend and can choose a date that’s not already taken.

The Cowboy Calendar works in a couple of different ways. You’ll be able to see the a mini-calendar on the Home page. Hover over a date to see what’s happening. Visit the Events page to see a larger calendar. Here you’ll be able to view the events in a Calendar or Event List view.

Pardon our dust this July as we work to bring you the capability to add and manage your own events. Continue to submit your events! It’s completely free of charge. Just click here, provide the information about your event (hint: give lots of details), and we’ll post it for you. You can even post a photo—and we all know that listings with photos get higher viewership, so send ‘em in!!
