Summer Hunt

Summer Hunt~the other Sport of Kings! is the premier event of Earnrokke.Always wondered what nobleman did when they weren't at war? What was a favorite pastime of Royalty? What outdoor activity did women ride astride at and carry their own birds of prey with equal ability to the men? It was hunting! Several Kings wrote their own books on this sport, many illuminations showed women riding to the hunt, and falconry was enjoyed by everyone. This is an event not to be missed and it will be your chance to learn about period hunting techniques and game, hunting weapons, and animals used for hunting in period.

Summer Hunt V

Summer Hunt V was July 24-6, 2009. greetings! This weekend at the 5th annual Summer Hunt we were having some fun now! everything was great until the lightning and thunder and rain came exactly when the potluck was served! The intrepid people of the Earnrokke and other fabulous gentles got it all covered over so we could finish eating. Otherwise the weather was great. we had nine riders and 23 foot hunters. we had three entrants in the arts and sciences competition and I think four heavy fighters. I don't know how many competed in the thrown weapons tournament but I understand that it was a very popular place to be and the prize was greatly enjoyed by the winner. sunday we did the hunt challenges and I must say it was gratifing to have so many this year. When Donwenna and I created the persona challenge this is what we hoped for. it took a few years but it seems to have caught on now. I personally wanted to thank my lovely people who helped me this weekend to acheive the three levels. And yes, they are mine, I claim them I pee on them I do what needs to be done to make them my own!!!! So many thanks to my darling Leyla for the use of her horse and all her help in acheiving the mock hunt. Also to my page Ximena for all her help all day for the challenges. My darling Francesca was great support and was a comforting friend when Bee and I had a misunderstanding and my knee went out... again. (I unfortunately see an orthopedic surgeon in my future, I can't keep doing this!) I also want to thank my Tristan and Tae for helping me with a great many things throughout the day, I couldn't have done anything without them, they are such great friends! My dear Thorkel was a wonderful help during my challenges, he is chivalric on and off the field. I wanted to thank my judges Mistress Tsuruko and HL Saikhan for the long hours they spent judging the entrants, they were gracious and fair and I couldn't have asked for better judges. I wish more people could have come and watched all the challengers but it was hot and people and needed to get going. for all the people who did come and watch us, thank you so much for your interest! I hope people will consider going out next year, it is a very rewarding experience. Thanks to all who made the event possible, and thanks to my apprentice Samira who is the Hunt Guild administrator and reached the top level herself this year. I know Donwenna is proud of her, but as we told donwenna on the computor, it wasn't really summer hunt without her. Thanks to everyone for a great event. regards,
