[Artemisia] Horses at the Silk Road Venture

[Yaasamiin]

Greetings,

Time draws near for your venture across the Silk Road. Horses played a 
huge part in transporting goods east to west and so they are included in 
this reenactment. I hope those who are non-equestrian types enjoy their 
presence and those who are equestrians come to love how horse-friendly 
the site is.

There will be a horse camp and all horse owners bringing horses should 
camp with their steeds. The site is privative with a creek near by for 
watering your horse(s). Bring your suitable horse containments, which 
are electric or panel fencing and/or high-tie ropes. Pickets are not 
allowed. Horse camp is a short walk away from the others. There is a 
fire ring in the encampment and plenty of space to spread out. The 
gaming area is long and narrow with grassy footing. The only requirement 
for in-coming horses is to be on WEED-FREE hay for the entire stay. This 
is a site requirement. I'd like to get a head count. Please email me 
off-list or call 208-602-3265... thanks.

Equine activities planned thus far:
Friday, authorizations and sunset trailride.
Saturday morning, Baronial Equestrian Championship Tournament for Arn Hold.
Saturday late afternoon, a mounted class in (SCA-friendly) buzkachi for 
all riders, General Riders and Mounted Gamers. Sunday morning the Best 
Little Army Defending the Oasis challenge where archers, equestrians and 
armored fighters come together in one arena.... very spectator friendly.

That is all,
Yaasamiina
