Equestrian 

The equestrian competition will be a combination of standard SCA games and trail course elements in a timed event with each rider running the course individually.  The theme will be “Pillage the Village” in which each rider will fire two arrows at sentries, cross a drawbridge, smite eight peasants (heads), spear four plague rats and drop them in a well, pick up three animals (stuffed) and put them in a sack carried by the rider, abduct a stuffed ‘wench’ and carry her, and finally, carry a flag representing a flaming torch around the perimeter of the village thereby burning it down! Good fun for the evil barbarians, not so much for the hapless peasants!

 

In keeping with the battle theme of the event, this competition will count as a war point rather than as an individual championship. Each rider will be required to declare for one of the competing kings. The best time will be used to determine the war point. The winning king will give largess to those who supported him, so choose wisely! Separate awards of great prestige will be given by Fergus Khan to the top scorer in each class. The competition will begin at 9:00(ish) am Saturday and will run until it is done. Riders will have ample opportunity to practice the course before riding for a score.

 

This year it will be our pleasure to provide a free feast to all horse lords and ladies consisting of Khazar smoked beast brisket, Mongol chili and corn bread, and gallons of sour, hastily fermented steppes ale. We may even make some fermented mare’s milk just for the occasion! All we ask is that you let us know how many you’re bringing so we can plan accordingly. A handout will be issued to all riders at the gate detailing the EQ camping area, the course layout, and giving critical EQ information such as the phone number and location of local veterinarians.

 

Equestrian camping

This year the RV pads at the back of the tent camping area will be designated for equestrian use. There are six concrete pads, water, electric, and picnic tables. However, you must prepay in order to reserve one of these sites. The price is $10 per RV pad which will be applied toward your site fee when you arrive. Prepayment must be received at least two weeks in advance. Any sites not pre-reserved will be assigned on a first come, first served basis to whoever wants them. Once all the RV sites are filled, additional equestrian campers will be directed to an area set aside for them in the adjacent tent camping area. As always, riders must show proof of negative coggins for all horses. If you want to reserve an RV site send $10 prepayment along with your name, phone number, and E-mail address to the Three Kings Beastocrat, Fergus Khan, at the address below. Make checks payable to SCA Shire of Rosenfeld.
