Horse Races
Her Ladyship Marina of Ravensley
At every event it is fun to have something silly (yet if possible, keep your "steeds" decorated heraldically: use your own device or that of your shire or barony!).
There will be four races, around an oval track.
- The Youth Race for children big enough to reach the pedals.
- The Cavalry Race for armoured fighters.
- The Runaway Lovers: Race for a pair, one sitting crosswise before the rider. Couples need not be either lovers or runaways.
- The Ladies Race for the distaff side. Have a care for your skirts, ladies.
The Steeds are comprised of steerable small tricycles or quadracycles.
- - It must have three or four wheels for stability.
- - Wheels can be 20 inches or smaller in diameter.
- - It will be no wider than 26 inches and no longer than 50 inches wheel hub to wheel hub.
- - It will be propelled by a single person pedal power.
- - Hard bits that could bruise a contestant in the melee of a race shall be padded. A hobby horse head is a bonus.
- - Head protection is required for all racers. For the armoured race helms are more than sufficient. For the other races, I would like to see the best disguise of a bike helmet.
- - One of the races is a pairs event, therefore a saddle that can accommodate a passenger set sidesaddle is useful.
