Activities

     Lionhearts is a fairly relaxed event for equestrians, with many concurrent activities

     and all the riding you desire.  It's a great first event. 

     We are low key with activities geared to all levels.  Planned activities include:

• A Speed Quintain Tournament with Heralds — team up with a voice herald and show off your noble prowess.  The pomp and show part, where we hope to entertain spectators.

• Mounted Archery — learn, authorize, or practice.  (We intend to have the course set up all weekend.)

• A Challenge Course — involving many of the common SCA equestrian games as well as some inventive new elements.  (This too should be set up all weekend.)

• Joust Training Exercises — practice and develop the skills needed for jousting, and if we have enough riders and horses ready, put it all together and joust!

• Military Drills — riding in formation to the commands of a captain is great mental exercise for horses and riders, and requires no equipment or armor.

• Ground Crew Class — the best way to start getting involved and the opportunity to authorize for various SCA equestrian activities.  For riding authorizations, please make your own arrangements for a horse to use, then contact the Equestrian Marshal In Charge (EMIC) to schedule a time.  

• Progresses and Trail Rides — the site is adjacent to the Snoqualmie Valley Trail, a large field, and elk-inhabited meadows.  Enjoy the scenery! borders the site.  There are no rental horses available.
