My training says: Gig gently with the heels and make kissy smoochy noises to start off with a walk. Gig again to trot. Gig again with a tad more authority and perhaps say "HUP" to get a canter. One can start with this and skip the first 2 gaits - be sure to lean forward a little into the m...

As many battles as you want to be filled with unchivalrous combat. .. Technically, all the batttles you are in, in which you are not mounted and fighting from horseback, are 'unchivalrous combats', as the very word *means*, in old French "What the riders did". *BLAM* Someone had to do it.

Tascius told us we won the structured scenarios and gave us loot. Most of you were gone by then. He said later that they would have announced it in court but they thought we had all left.

Questions about Raising and Dishing

Are raising and dishing essentially the same or similar?
Does raising thin or thicken the metal?
Does raising or dishing harden the metal?
Thank you in advance.

Pretend the tournament is a practice.
Tournament wins don't really matter any more than practice wins do when viewed from the REAL (mundane) world.
