What I enjoyed most about the day was that this was one of a number of events that were held in the River Bottom Parks. The fact that those sites were horse friendly allowed those of us in the [[Dreiburgen Light Horse]] to saddle up at House Montrose in Pedley (the current home of the [[Dreiburgen]] Archery range) and ride the five miles to the event.
[[House Montrose]] was asked if we could run an equestrian contest. [[Drusilla of Montrose|Drusilla]] being a A.H.A. show judge and a former 4H leader decided that it was time for Caid Equestrians to test their skill at horsemanship rather than their prowess at marshal activities. She put together and ran a standard Trail Class, which is an obstacle course were the rider must complete a number of tasks at specified gaits.  
 
[[Mornay of Anglesey|Mornay]] &  [[Drusilla of Montrose|Drusilla]] trucked over all the polls, Jump Standards and other accessories needed for the trail class wail [[Aladric of Litchfield|Aladric]], [[Malcolm Alberic|Myself]] and others of The[[Dreiburgen Light Horse]] rode the five miles from at [[House Montrose]] in Pedley (the current home of the [[Dreiburgen]] Archery range) to the Jurupa Equestrian Park in Rubidoux.
 
[[Damales Redbeard]] loves to recount how when he reached the bridge obstacle he knew that his horse not being trained for this type of competition would not want to step on to the plywood bridge. [[Damales Redbeard|Damales]] then asked [[Mornay of Anglesey|Mornay]] if he could jump it. [[Mornay of Anglesey|My father]] knowing that [[Damales Redbeard|Damales]] an experienced horseman but not aware that he was a Three Day Event Rider said “Sure if you think you can.” [[Damales Redbeard|Damales]] took the jump, cleared the bridge with feet to spare, crossed the finished line and looked back at [[Mornay of Anglesey|Mornay’s]] wide eyed open mouthed expression. [[Mornay of Anglesey|My father]] was definitely not expecting a rider of that caliber at an SCA event. 
 
I particularly like that the autocrats made sure that the event ran on time. (If a horse show can run on time why cant an SCA event?)

From Baron Malcolm Alberic:

House Montrose was asked if we could run an equestrian contest. Drusilla being a A.H.A. show judge and a former 4H leader decided that it was time for Caid Equestrians to test their skill at horsemanship rather than their prowess at marshal activities. She put together and ran a standard Trail Class, which is an obstacle course were the rider must complete a number of tasks at specified gaits.

Mornay & Drusilla trucked over all the polls, Jump Standards and other accessories needed for the trail class wail Aladric, Myself and others of TheDreiburgen Light Horse rode the five miles from at House Montrose in Pedley (the current home of the Dreiburgen Archery range) to the Jurupa Equestrian Park in Rubidoux.

Damales Redbeard loves to recount how when he reached the bridge obstacle he knew that his horse not being trained for this type of competition would not want to step on to the plywood bridge. Damales then asked Mornay if he could jump it. My father knowing that Damales an experienced horseman but not aware that he was a Three Day Event Rider said “Sure if you think you can.” Damales took the jump, cleared the bridge with feet to spare, crossed the finished line and looked back at Mornay’s wide eyed open mouthed expression. My father was definitely not expecting a rider of that caliber at an SCA event.

I particularly like that the autocrats made sure that the event ran on time. (If a horse show can run on time why cant an SCA event?)
