The Barony of Bryn Gwlad and Shire of Tir Medoin invite you to the
first Equestrian College, April 22-24, 2005!

Not an experienced rider?
Don't have a horse?
Not sure what to do with the kids?
Would really rather spend the day fighting?

Don't worry, we have a class for you!!!

Authorized riders can participate in mounted classes that include
Jousting, Mounted Archery authorizations, Boffer Crest Combat
tips-n-tricks, and a class on performing the Ballet du Cheval. For
those more interested in fighting, consider the hands-on classes taught
by Earl Brion Thornbird ap Rhys on Equestrian Combat in Historical
Manuscripts and Ground Work with Sword and Short Lance. Fighters are
also welcome to bring armor for pick-ups. If you're new to horses or
have children, consider learning the basics at Horses and Horsemanship
101, or Introduction to SCA games. For the children, there is even a
special Shrek stick horse quest!
