[Artemisia] Estrella War highlights?

[Willa - Rose]

The Royal Stables of Artemisia had a very good showing this year. Four
Artemisian equestrians rode over all. Friday I sponsored a tournament of
Middle Eastern sword drills and spear games... Lady Aurealia assisted. 
There were many grunts and groans as to the difficulty of the course...
he, he, evil grin. Four riders entered. Two were from Artemisia, Duncan
and Lady Erin. Lady Erin won. For the Saturday and Sunday tournaments,
Lady Aurealia and I shared a horse. The little mare came to us with no
name and we quickly decided she should be called America.... as she was a
horse with no name. Our colorful trappers and accomplished riding styles
provided entertaining rhyme for the Queens and guests in the berfrois as
they filked to the name of our horse.  

Lure coursing the hunting hounds occurred on 3 mornings. Boss enjoyed
seeing his WAR sweetie, (Greyhound) Jenna, and together they chased the
dummy bunny with joy. In addition, a falconer from Loch Salaan flew her
hawk. All taking place in the main battlefield. 

Guillaume fenced, sponsored 2 fencing tournaments and assisted with the
morning lure coursing. In the evenings, we enjoyed the music and friendly
environment at camp Caid... great oud player and drummers. Oh and we did
some power shopping too.

It was a good WAR. We returned home with only sore muscles... all 3 of
us... and with the question, "What's next?"
