Joust Training in Wisconsin- CANCELLED

Lloyd · Post by **Lloyd** » Tue Jun 22, 2010 3:28 pm

Hi All,

Have to reschedule Saturday's clinic - I have a nasty upper respiratory and sinus infection which not only has knocked me on my butt, but has pretty much taken my ability to speak. I will let everyone know when it is rescheduled.

Oh so waiting until I'm ready to go back to Texas to do this that sucks.

It's good to hear. (Me, I'd have to learn to ride better first)

The stables offers riding lessons as well (and it would be nice to no longer be the only guy there!)/

Actually I could learn to live with that .... :twisted:

Got something you'd like to tell us?
Is an announcement forthcoming? :wink:

Trystyn,

Not to speak for Lloyd, but seeing as most of the SCA equestrians (or equestriennes) hereabouts are female, I'm guessing that they're the bulk of who's around. I'll bet Bridei is all over this.

Lloyd, which stables is it?

Jonny Deuteronomy · Post by **Jonny Deuteronomy** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 2:24 pm

I'm just being playful with my brother jouster.
He understands.

Bridei is definitely all over it. She and Randy came out last week and helped us with the fundraising faire (with Bridei being invaluable as one of our ground squires).

Here is the info on the stables:

Kuenzi Equestrian Pony Club Riding Centerwww.kecponyclubcenter.blogspot.com
N7928 County Road A
Beaver Dam, WI 53916
(920) 285-0701

And Tryst was basically giving me a good-natured elbow in the ribs (Tryst I can't say much at the moment...)

Bump - because I need folks to show up :oops:

I live near Chicago. My famliy is all from Chippewa Falls WI, and my other side live on a horse farm in Rockville In. I would be interested in the jousting class or mounted techniques. I can ride, let me know when the dates are and I would be intereseted in coming up. Also I am a man. I 6' 7" 280 pound man. So if you have a warmblood or a belgian or something big enough to ride. I may come up for the class.

Just one question . . . want to organize classes in Kentucky? :wink:

Lloyd · Post by **Lloyd** » Wed Jul 14, 2010 11:40 am

That's possible. I have some friends down there that joust and we could probably put something together.

talaananthes · Post by **talaananthes** » Wed Jul 14, 2010 11:51 am

Shit, and here I was only joking. I'd love to give it a try, though!

If I wasnt petrified - my wife and I would both come!

Lufu,

I promise that none of the horses will eat you :wink:

. Why not come up, give it a look and talk with me, and, if you are comfortable, maybe we can set you up with some riding lessons. Who knows, you may be a born equestrian and just not know it!

Then you can show me the Westland arming coats and maybe work with me on the joust training video I want to put together.

That sounds like something I may be able to agree to! Count me in for myself and my wife (with the kidlettes bouncing around somewhere).

No kidding, really? Thats pretty awesome, and I have a photoshoot scheduled in Beaver Dam for Aug 7th, so we can probably stop by afterward. How much are the riding lessons? Or do they do trail riding? I'm not really suited to jousting, but a day on horseback sounds awesome.

Lloyd · Post by **Lloyd** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 6:34 pm

No worries, just shoot me a PM with your contact info and I'll set you up!

Adeliz · Post by **Adeliz** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 10:10 am

*pokes Lloyd* Valerius and I are going to be in Beaver Dam this weekend, and you never sent any info on possible trail riding... *pokes* Send please?

Lloyd · Post by **Lloyd** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 10:41 am

Sorry, got busy with the "joust tournament" last week. I'll shoot you all the info when I get home this evening.

Tell Aaron thanks for looking for the elbows, turns out Bristol still had a bunch of the armour we had when I was the joust director there and I borrowed a set of arms (legs and breastplate) from them.

Theodwyn Kelsale · Post by **Theodwyn Kelsale** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 10:52 am

Never did hear from you! Hope your legs didnt go unprotected!!

Lloyd · Post by **Lloyd** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 11:02 am

Ted, sorry, man, starting on Thursday morning pretty much everything went all pear-shaped. We didn't leave to go to Bristol until 5am on Friday. My squire was up until 11pm on Thursday night working on my gear. In the end, it was definitely not what I expected (or better, what was led to expect). Oh well, I got to joust, got to see some old friends and make some great new ones!

A story about the "tourney" can be found HERE

Theodwyn Kelsale · Post by **Theodwyn Kelsale** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 11:15 am

Very cool.

No worries!

We ended up going Saturday with the kiddies to Bristol, good times.

Still very much interested in the joust training for me and the lady - will keep in touch as we get more of an idea if we can make it out!

Adeliz · Post by **Adeliz** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 2:50 pm

S'ok Lloyd, I figured, thats why I sent the pokes. I'll let him know, though.

raito · Post by **raito** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 3:05 pm

Rats!

On the 14th, I'll be in North Carolina...

OK you guys, lots of you have to show up so that Lloyd will do it again.

Lloyd · Post by **Lloyd** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 3:50 pm

Still lots of room left for this one.

Raito, I can always set something up for local folks. No worries,
