I’m going to hold an open-to-all unified marshals’ meeting at Birka, 3pm on Saturday, in the Frost Room. (I know the equestrians are also meeting then. They can come on in when they’re done. There will be plenty of time for them.) I’m going to talk about my proposed change for the tenure of the Earl …
At Panteria this past weekend in the Shire of Pantervale, Emperor Ionnes and Empress Honig presided over the competitions to select Their Archery and Equestrian Champions. On Saturday, Baroness Alanna of Skye, riding Brandy, won the equestrian competition and was named King’s Champion of Horse. Empress Honig selected Mistress Eleanor Fitzpatrick as her Champion of …
Yesterday the annual tourney to choose the King’s and Queen’s Equestrian Champions was hosted by the Shire of Quintavia, at the Hazel Grove Agricultural Association in Groton, MA.

It was also the first time the Golden Lance was awarded in the East Kingdom. The Golden Lance is an order of high merit for those …
The following was submitted by Mistress Eleanor Fitzpatrick as a quick “what am I looking at/for” at equestrian tournaments. Please keep these tidbits in mind when watching this Saturday’s competition (or any future Equestrian competition). The upcoming Equestrian Champions Tournament seemed a good occasion to write this brief guide about mounted tournaments. Oftentimes it’s completely non-obvious what’s …
Panteria XX, in the Shire of Panthervale in the East Kingdom was held this past Memorial Day weekend in Vermont. We saw a big jump in the number of horse attending, from the usual 6 or 7 to 11 horses this time, including 4 for whom this was the horse’s first event. They all did …
Their serene Majesties, Edward and Thyra passed the Order of the Golden Lance at their last curia at Mudthaw. The Golden Lance will be an order of high merit for those who have excelled in the Equestrian Arts. As a former rider myself, we are excited to bring this new level of recognition to our …
