Medieval or Warhorse Games/Trials in my area?

Question

I live near Atlanta, GA and I have a horse who is perfectly suited for these types of events. I also have a filly who I am considering training specifically for this kind of thing, and I want to find out if it's the direction I want to go. Most of these are hosted in WA or somewhere out West, and I was curious if any of you knew of any that would be coming within a few hours of Atlanta, or are based within a few hours of here.

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

you need to look up the SCA (society for creative anachronism)and find the region you are in (meridies region is georgia) or you can write to "[e-mail] and ask the society equestrian officer if there are any events in your area.

i should add that most of them in my area use a spanish saddle for their horses (it closely resembles a 17th century saddle) some of the "ladies"ride with a side saddle.
