    I have just learned that the Kingdom Equestrian Championship has been
    postponed and will not be at the St. Pyres event.

    Can someone tell me if there are still Equestrian events?

---------------------

Earlier this month the Kingdom Seneschal and Minister of the Stable 
decided to postpone the Kingdom Equestrian Championship to later in the 
year . The link to the Feast of St Pyre's from Cote du Ciel's website, 
http://coteduciel.org/,  event is still good. The description has 
changed to reflect the change.

Yes, we still plan to have equestrian activites. However, it is turned 
down to a season opener where the concentration will be on introducing 
games to beginners. We will have a low-pressure equestrian tournament to 
give new SCA riders a chance to play. There will also be the Gauntlet of 
Peril and Tournaments for both heavy and rapier fighters.

I have inserted the text to the event here.
