[Artemisia] Equestrian & Hounds Activities at Raptor War

[Auraelia de Medici]

Hello Everyone!

Arn Hold's premier event, Raptor War, September 2 - 5,
2005 will include horse and hounds activities.

The official equestrian tournaments and activities
include a Horseback Archery Class on Friday Evening
taught by Mu'allemah Yaasamiin, the Quest Tourney on
Saturday, The Baronial Equestrian Championship on
Sunday, and there will be trail rides as interest and
an available marshal dictate.

There will also be hounds coursing on Sunday.

The Rules and Recommendations for bringing horses to
the site can be found at the bottom of this e-mail.

Hounds will be welcome as long as they are on a leash
or in an enclosure.  Please be a responsible hound
owner and pick up after them, too.

If you plan to trailer a horse, please be familiar
with the rules. If know a non-SCA member who may be
coming, please pass these on to them.  I had to turn
someone away last year because they did not have the
proper paperwork, and they had already participated in
an SCA tourney as a non-member.

If you need more inforamtion about Raptor War, please
see the Arn Hold Baronial Website at
www.barony-of-arnhold.org.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
me.
