[Ravensfort] [Ansteorra-Equestrian] Equestrian College THIS WEEKEND!!!!!

[Sean Gulick]

Hi All,

Unless some crisis occurs, I am currently planning on bringing either 1 or 2 horses which I can picket Friday night.  I will be in late on Friday.  I will have to leave Saturday late afternoon to be back for our prospective graduate students visit at UT on Sunday.  But in between looking forward to more mounted combat, jousting, and games practice.  I will bring 4 chamfrons and three mounted combat swords and some light contact jousting equipment.
