Greetings all from Terafan,

Hastilude at the Hollow II !

hastilude:  has.ti.lude   (noun)   a medieval joust : spear play

Come, bring your horses and do all things equestrian for four days!

Beginning on Thursday, 29 August, and running through Monday, 2 September
2013. The Hastilude will include an equestrian challenge course, mounted
archery,  a mounted hunt, mounted combat training, SCA foam jousting and
wooden lance jousting, trail rides, an Inter Kingdom Equestrian Competition,
birjas, spear throwing, pig-sticking/tent-pegging, quintain, other games,
and all the riding and equestrian practice you want.

To top it off, we will celebrate on Sunday evening with a rousing game of
"Buzkashi", an fun and exciting horse game based on a game from the Steppes
of Afghanistan!  (Details on the website.) 

Start and finish each day with a fine meal by Master Robear and celebrate
with song and story each evening around the campfire.
