Equestrian Demonstrations

SCA Equestrian Activities practice the games of skill that squires and other mounted warriors would have learned in the medieval period.
One of these is hitting the quintain, a rotating piece of training equipment that helps the equestrian practice hitting a solid target.

Another is jousting at rings. The rings range from 6 inches to a mere 1 inch, and the equestrian must spear these with their lance, usually while the horse is running at a canter! Other activities include spear throwing and stabbing objects on the ground, knocking (fake) heads off posts with a sword, obstacle courses, and archery from horseback. Often these games are combined to form a course for the rider to perform, and sometimes teams of riders are needed to do all of the activities. These games allow the riders to display their historic gear and horse costumes, and provide true medieval pageantry.

Demonstration Schedule and Information:

10:00–11:30 AM – Various mounted games as above, and joust training
1:30–2:30 PM – Joust training and jousting
3:30–5:00 PM – Challenge course! This will involve games centering around the adventures of Sinbad and the Valley of Jewels. Riders will face such challenges as: Navigating a narrow pass, killing giant crickets on the ground, getting gem-studded joints of meat out of the Roc’s nest, and carrying a message to announce the voyage’s success.
