JoAnne,

We have riders of all abilities and we welcome those who are interested in
trying new things in order to improve their existing skills. Safety is of course
very important, but if you can reliably control your horse, you are invited to
try the games at the level you and our marshalls are comfortable with.

Not every member has a horse. Some have sharing agreements with other members.
Alternatively Sun Pony Ranch offers riding lessons and leases on our horses.
This is separate from the SCA, but I'd be happy to talk to you further offlist.
There are other barns, too, who offer lease agreements.
