Events

At September Crown in AnTir, our next King and Queen are determined, and here is where we hold our own equestrian championship. Our inaugural equestrian championship was held in 2005 and the winner was THL Khaidu Naranaimorin riding Titus.

Another favorite annual event is Summer Hunt, which features the mounted hunter challenge course and is now known as the Viscount Sir Jerald Memorial Equestrian Championship of the Shire of Earnrokke. It includes a Hunting Persona Contest sponsored by the Hunt Guild and an Arts and Sciences contest related to hunting. There are photos and video of last year's event on the main website: http://donwenna.homestead.com/SummerHunt.html and at the Earnrokke Wiki http://wiki.antir.sca.org/index.php?title=Earnrokke Contact: THL Donwenna La Mareschale donwenna@gmail.com

The Emprise of the Black Lion is an equestrian tournament inspired by the 1460 treatise by René of Anjou. http://madrone.equestrianguild.org/emprise/

Other annual events where horses are welcome are the Lionhearts Tourney, May Crown, June Faire (demo), Midhaven Champions, Sable Rose Emprise, Warren War, Acorn War, William Tell, and Autumn War.
