Greetings Bella from Donwenna,
It was good to meet you and yours at GW.

How very kind of you to offer to bring equipmt and horses. You can
have unofficial practices without an Equestrian Marshal. You
can 'advertise' those as non-SCA EQ parties thru
non-official-SCA venues. Be sure to put in Subject line on email :
OT,non-SCA EQ
That should do it for you.

If the Practice is advertised in the Kingdom Newsletters or thru
other official venues, then you need an EM.

Thanks for joining the fun!
In joyful service to An Tir,

Our little place is in Rockdale, TX, bout an hour from Austin, an hour
from Waco, an hour from Bryan/College STation (where they keep the
Aggies) - which is to say, an hour from anything interesting! :D

We've been in the SCA going on 4 years now.  Authorized advanced,
mounted crest combat and archery - basically everything except
jousting and we're working on that.  In addition to the SCA, we
perform the Ballet du Cheval, Light Joust, Skills at Arms games and
mounted archery for smaller renfaires, perform in parades, etc.  We're
also in the process of trying to introduce equestrian games to a
boffer LARP group that we play with.

We'd love to play with ya'll in Gleann Abhann!  Got family in Conway
(as well as Mena, DeQueen, Umpire, Dierks, Stamps, Bradley, Bismarck,
just about all over).

Greetings unto the Gleann Abhann Cavalry from Donwenna La Mareschale,
I am writing to introduce myself and some current projects I am
working on.

By way of introduction, I was one of the first Society Equestrian
Officers ; I served 1994-1996.  Also, the Company of St Anne will be
hosting the Emprise of the Ring of the Athanor this next year at Gulf
Wars. More detailed info on the Lance  can be found at :
www.lanceofstanne.com/


As for current projects, I go to Gulf Wars periodically and in fact
last year introduced the Known World Hunt Guild which is based in An
Tir
www.huntguild.org

I look forward to seeing members of your kingdom make their presence
known this year at Gulf Wars!

It's good to hear from you.  I sold Warrior (the paint) and now have a 14 hh bay
walker/1/4 cross - easy to get on and off of. :)  He neck reins, kinda moves off
leg and seat pressure - trying to refine that now, good stop, easy to get
going.....I really like him.

I'm going to try to get to GW this year, but won't be able to take a horse - I
just won't know in time if I can take off  to get all the "bringing a horse to
GW stuff"  done.

Anyway, hopefully we can try to do something to get things going in our fair
kingdom.  Of course that means finding horse friendly sites <g>.  I'm thinking
about holding some unofficial riding get-togethers if there is anyone close that
wants to play.

Alicia

PS to anyone interested in riding - I live ~20 miles east of Natchitoches, LA in
St. Maurice

WOOO HOOO!! Glad to have you back!! We are in Little Rock now, and do not have
our horses with us, but hopefully we will be able to by next summer/fall
(crosses fingers). I MISS my babies! Right now I have to be satisfied with my
model horses. At least we will get to see them at Christmas. Gulf Wars is out
for us this year with the horses, Darlin is really too old, Dyna is a bit of
scatterbrain (and Dad is breeding her this year), and Dad sold Rowdy (he was my
backup plan even tho he is a s#*t head). We have 2 18 month old fillies that
will hopefully be ready to go for next year, they are very patriotic, one is
solid black the other is firey red.

I don't know how I did that, but the demo is the third weekend of
OCTOBER up against Masque of the Red Death and the BOD meeting.
Horse archery would be very impressive.  Now, I have been told that
the Tunica Arena is set up for horses but I have never seen it
myself.  I just have to go with the pictures on the arena website and
such quotes as "Designed to accomodate a wide variety of equine
events such as:  cutting horse, barrel racing, quarter horse, horse
auctions as well as events like rodeos, motor sports, family shows,
exhibits, trade shows, cattle shows and cattle sales." and "606
modular livestock stalls."  The Boy Scouts are getting the whole
place so I will check if we have to rent stalls and what area they
mean for us to use.

Here is the website for Scout Base.
http://www.scoutbase2006.org/THEindex.htm

And here is the one for the site
http://www.tunicaarenaexpo.com/introduction.asp

If anybody can make it in October we'll be glad to have you.

Howdy!

Grey Niche has been asked to do a demo for about 15,000 Boy Scouts in
Tunica, MS on the third weekend of November.  The Scouts contact has
told me that the site is set up for horses, does any one feel like
coming to Tunica?

I only managed to get 1/2 of what I need from my hay supply guy. I need to find about 150 more bales. Any clue where I can find them? East Texas is out of hay and I am not having any luck locally.

For any penny pinching horse owners like me, encephalitis (this is
probably not spelled right) vaccines can be purchased over the counter
and administered by yourselves for a fraction of the cost of having
your vet do it.  I buy mine from Jeffers (1-800-Jeffers or
jeffersequine.com )
West Nile vaccine is not available over the counter yet, that one you
will have to have your vet do.

I am selling my ASB/Arab mix (we think he's part Arab at least)
gelding. His name is Baccus. He is 9 years old, solid chestnut. 16
ish hands. Trained 1st level Dressage and TRICKS! He will bow, sit,
lay down, count, Spanish Walk, Piaffe, kick and rear (from the
ground, can't get him to rear with me on him). You can lay him down
and get on him, no climbing up from the ground! He spins like a
reining horse, neck reins and leg reins. Very light on his feet. He
is very sensitive and responsive, longes beautifully, loads. He
needs someone to take time and bond with him, he is a bit untrusting
of people right now, he has not been fooled with for a LONG time. I
had him only a short time before I moved and have not had the time
to work with him, he is 3 hours away. He has LOADS of potential and
just needs to be worked with, he is NOT mean or stupid, just
sensitive and a bit nervous, he needs a friend. The book that he was
trained with will be included. I plan to take some photos of him
this weekend.

If you have any questions call me at 501-819-0108 or 318-663-0917

Hi all!  Sorry to be chiming in so late, but I thought I had set this
thing to send me daily digests.  I haven't been getting any emails
and thought that y'all were just being quiet!  Glad I checked the
website.

Anyway, My name is Melisant of Exmoor (yes, like the pony).  I live
in the Shreveport/Bossier area.  I didn't learn to ride until I was
15 although I wanted to since I was about 2.  I own a 15 year old
Azteca mare.  I am not authorized in Equestrian yet.  I am lucky
enough to be able to stable my mare at my subdivision's community
stable (4 minutes away).  I am also the barn manager there, so if
sometime in the future we wanted to hold a practice there, I could
probably swing it.  There is an arena and round pen, but it is not
covered.

I am also an authorized heavy weapons fighter and combat archer.

I did take my mare to a re-enactment of the battle of hastings in
Missouri.  It was put on by the Vikings of North America (a steel
group).  She was fine with one or two fighters, but was intimidated
by the whole shield wall!

Hopefully we will get the opportunity to authorize one of these days.

Greetings All,
    I am Ld. Karron of Pinewood. I was formerly very heavily involved in
the equestrian college of Meridies but had to quit for a while to
regain myself after my divorce. I am an advanced authorized rider with
Meridian certification in mounted combat, jousting, and mounted
archery. Although currently horseless (woe is me), I am currently
training several mounts for a good friend under the pretext that I may
use one of them for the mounted games. I joined your list primarily as
a lurker to keep track of the events and progress in GA, but will be
happy to assist you in any way I can. Take advantage of my 10+ yrs of
SCA equestrian...lol

Ld. Karron of Pinewood, ALM

I am Christiana Breakspear. As my lord, Paul, said we are originally
from Northern, LA. Our horses are still there. I grew up riding, I
have photos of me on the horse from the time I could sit up. I have
been in the SCA about 5 years. I just got authorized equestrian at
Gulf this year. We attended Steppes Warlord and had a BLAST. My 26
year old mare had a REALLY good time taking Heather for a bit of a joy
ride.

I am also an equine artist and a model horse customizer. You can see
my work on my online album
(http://community.webshots.com/user/scaequestrian).

We look foward to being able to represent Gleann Ahbann in equestrian
events. I really hope we can find somewhere soon to keep our horses in
the area, I miss having them around.

Howdy folks,

 

I am Lord Ali, I have been in the SCA for 14 years, 8 of those as a heavy weapons fighter.   I authorized Beginner Equestrian at the last 2 Gulf Wars.  Sadly, the horses I have access to are 4 hours from me, so practice and riding are almost non-existent.

I guess that covers it.  I'll be glad to answer any questions.

Hi,

I authorized advance at War. Provided that I was not supposed to send the form off, but keep it, I still am if not I'll have to do it again. Which is getting to be an old game of lost records, or forgetting to send in the paper work. I'll admit William response confused me but I've have not taken the time to straighten it out yet.

 

Any who .. I really look forward to this growing, and I'm wondering do we have any Marshals in GA..

On the morning they left
we said goodbye
filled with sadness
for the absence to come.

Inside the palanquins
on the camels' backs
I saw their faces beautiful as moons
behind veils of golden cloth.

Beneath the veils
tears crept like scorpions
over the fragrant roses
of their cheeks.

These scorpions do not harm
the cheek they mark.
They save their sting
for the heart of the sorrowful lover.

Greetings to all good gentles of the list.

 

I wanted to give some time for people to sign up on the list before I posted.  I would like to take this time to welcome everyone to the list.  I started this list to help foster communications between those of us who would like to see the equestrian community in Gleann Abhann grow.  To that end, if you know of anyone who you would like to see on this list please feel free to invite them to join us.   I have uploaded a few links onto the website but would like to see more links and photos.  If you have anything cool feel free to add it to the page or send it to me and I can add it. 

 

To help everyone get acquainted I think we should all introduce ourselves to the list.  For those of you who don’t know me I am Lord Paul the Small.  I’ve been in the SCA for about five years now, mostly as a heavy fighter.  A couple of years ago some friends got me into riding horses and then at Gulf Wars I authorized intermediate for equestrian events.  I and my Lady, Christiana, and I are currently living in Small Gray Bear (Little Rock, Ar) but have lived all our lives in northern Louisiana, which is where our horses still live.

 

Sorry for being so long winded, but I had a lot to say.  I look forward to seeing your posts and meeting with everyone in the future.
