Equestrian Activities at Autumn War 2008
Welcome to equestrians!
Autumn War 2008 is at the lovely Randle site, which has an equestrian
camping area with plenty of room for portable electric corrals and water
to the edge of the camping area, private riding trails and rooms for
progresses on site (depending on road layout), and a fenced equestrian
field with warm up and competition areas.
Equestrian pre-registration is requested first registered, first
assigned for the camping spots.
This year we transition to the new AnTir Book of the Horse (ABH) (approved
May 2008). The new Society-level equestrian rules (December 2007)
necessitated this change. That means that in addition to the opportunity
for new authorizations, there will be renewal of current cards (the new
cards will be valid for four years). Scheduled equestrian practices will
occur during the event, to provide an opportunity for practice as well as
authorizations.
Also to be noted: under the new Society rules, when you are attending an
event and camping in the equestrian area, a trail ride even on public
trails becomes an SCA equestrian activity. That means we have to:
- make certain those participating in SCA trail rides are an authorized
equestrian (General Riding)
- send a Junior or Senior Equestrian Marshal along with you on the trail
ride
This is a change please understand that as safety officers, the
Equestrian Marshals and the EqMIC must enforce these new Society and AnTir
Rules.
There will be ample opportunity for spectators the equestrian field has
a fine spectator area on the north side, and we will provide day shades
and some chairs to encourage observers to stay and watch.
Minors: parents or legal guardians must accompany their minors, even when
just visiting the equestrian area. Please understand this is SCA
corporate rules and we must enforce them, We dont want to disappoint our
future equestrians by turning them away.
A final equestrian schedule will be available at gate.
Please contact me with any questions and suggestions my cell works at
the Randle site.
