Nordskogen Equestrian Practice the Second—Saturday, May 31, 2025, Noon-3pm, MidSummer Farms, 8229 190th St W, Lakeville, MN 55044

9 Mar

A call for armored fighters! For equestrian practice this month, we are going to focus on mounted combat!

If you would like to practice your mounted combat skills, or learn and practice, please come to practice!
Also, as this year’s Warriors and Warlords schedule includes equestrian demos during breaks in the Bad Baronage Torchlight Tournament, we are asking your help to get the equines used to the sound of armored combat. If you are able to bring your gear and a friend to fight against and as willing to make lots of noise to in a somewhat structured way for equine desensitizing, we would be extremely grateful!
If you can’t make it for this practice (or want to come again!) the June 28th practice is before WW and would be a good time for a refresher for the equines, and we would love to see folks come out to learn and practice with us!

You do not have to have a horse or be a rider to attend. Ground crew are loved for their help to keep events moving smoothly, and we want you to be familiar with being around horses and the tasks involved.

Closed toed shoes are required, and long pants encouraged. Garb is not required.

It is advised to bring a chair as there is no seating. There is also road construction and detours, so just be aware of that.

If you are hauling in a horse, please have up to date Coggins and vaccination papers (as required for events).

Practices will be happening once a month. Check the Baronial calendar for the dates.

We look forward to seeing everyone that turns up, and do not be afraid to ask questions!
