A fun event with many friends in attendance. Daytripped on Saturday. Aside from being set decoration for court, I took several classes at the Ithra, watched two friends be made champions of Aquaterra, and got to play with the Quoits set. I wish I could have stayed for the feast. --Michelino di Gino Martini 23:37, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
The Baronial Equestrian Championship marked the first time I competed in an Equestrian Event. I fell twice, but got right back up on my steed, Bee; amusingly, those were 2 out of the 3 times I've fallen off a horse! It was very embarrassing at first, but my fellow Equestrians reassured me that I should be proud of my efforts. Thanks to their persistent kindness and support, I tried again the next day. Prior to the start of the tournament, Lady [Layla Giego] and I were invited to join the Company of the Sable Rose. It was a touching honor. With my to-be nephew as my inspiration, I went on to compete in all the challenges and entertain the audience. I encountered the speed quintain for the first time, and I loved it! My joy must've shown through, as at the end, I was surprised to be declared the winner of my first Sable Rose Emprise. --LayingArrondi 17:45, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
