Northern Mounted Cavalry practices for 2007


Greetings riders of Northern Atlantia. It is with great delight that I
announce the third year of our regions regular mounted cavalry
practices. This year we are expanding the locations of our practices.
The Barony of Marinus will be hosting official practices as well as
those that have been on-going in The Barony of Highlande Foorde. The
Barony of Bright Hills and possible The Barony of Storvik may also
have practices this year.

With the introduction of so many practices, I am encouraging those who
want to authorize to attend at least two practices prior to
authorizing and to try to authorize at a practice, rather than at an
event. Those practices that will have authorizations available at will
be announced.

HERITAGE HARVEST FARM PRACTICES – HIGHLANDE FOORDE 2007:

I would like to thank Katrin Boniface and Jennifer Smedley (and her
mother) for volunteering their farm and horses to host the practices
in the north central region of Maryland and Virginia, and their house
for those of us who have to stay overnight.

The dates are:
No practice in Jan, Feb or March
Sat, April 21 (AUTHORIZATIONS will likely take place)
Sat, May 19
Sat. June 16
July – no practice due to Pennsic/heat/the farm's summer camp
Sat, August 18
Sat. Sept 15 (AUTHORIZATIONS will likely take place)
Sat, Oct 20  (depends on if doing Storvik event and when that is)
Sat, Nov 17
Sat, Dec 15
Take a break in Jan, Feb and Mar of 2008 due to possible bad weather.

In the case of inclement weather at the site, the practices will be
canceled. All money will be refunded if practice is canceled.

Practices will start at 10 am and end at 6 pm with a potluck dinner
following. Bring something to share if you plan to stay for dinner.
Try to be at the site by 9 am to get the horses ready and help set up
the field.

The site is Heritage Harvest Farm in Boonsboro, Maryland. You can
learn more about the site at http://www.heritageharvest.com

the address is 17159 Sprecher Road, Boonsboro, MD 21713 (301) 223-6731.

For those in the area they offer lessons and summer camp for children.
Please check out their web site and get in touch with them if you are
interested in taking lessons.

Fees:
Rental horses will be available on a first reserved basis at $30.00
per rider for the practice.

All riders are asked to donate $5.00 to the farm to cover usage of
their facilities for the day. (Which includes cost of porta-castle
rental if needed.)

Horses staying overnight will be charged a $10.00 fee for a stall per night.

Camping is available on-site and there are hotels and regular
campgrounds in the near vicinity. Camping is free at the farm but
there is no water or electric hookups where we would be camping. Water
and electric are available at the barn. "Crash" space may be available
in the house. Contact Katrin to make arrangements.

Riders may request a specific rental horse. Those who rode the horse
at previous practices will have preference over others. This is to
help build a rapport between horse and rider. We encourage you to try
to ride the same horse at each practice you attend when possible.
Katrin and the site/horse owners have the final say over who is riding
their horses.

Turn in one of these forms for each practice date. Send in one form
per person please.

To reserve your horse and register for a practice, send the following
information to Katrin Boniface, 17159 Sprecher Road, Boonsboro, MD
21713 or email to Kat at heritageharvest.com.
We prefer you send rental horse money prior to the practice, but know
that if you pay when you get there, a rental horse may not be
available for you. You should contact Katrin prior to the practice to
let her know you plan to attend.

If you have any questions, contact Katrin at Kat at heritageharvest.com.

two years?)
