So...there are up to three spots available at this time, should someone wish to make a last-minute decision that they wish to come.

Well.......
Vielleicht dieses ding? 

[...]dass man mit Dressursattel, Western etc. einfach nie richtig Bogenreiten könnte, was ja in gewisser Weise auch einleuchtet, denn jede Sport hat so seinen eigenen  Sattel (Spring, Dressur....) The Scythians and many other of the oldest peoples of the Steppe managed well either without a sa...

Then I think we're all back to meaning roughly the same thing

There is a story I've heard, originally from the US I think. We are the predators on the back of the horse, but one that the horse (hopefully) know they can trust. This little story gave me food for thought long before I got a bit deeper into learning more about horses: A horse and rider are moving ...

With the official closing of the first round, the spots currently available are all taken. The following countries will be represented: Germany Hungary Norway Romania Sweden (of course) UK Our warmest gratitude to those who have decided to come and help us make a strong, perhaps even overwhelming, f...

This is a pretty funny thread, being an offshoot from discussions about systems. What makes it funny to me, being far from a master of understanding horses, is that each of those systems hold within them descriptions of personality-types of horses - and here, in this thread, we actually see some sig...

Alas, no Those were from Wikipedia commons. One of my fellow Swedes (Jimmie) has a Nordsvensk though. Picture of him and horse can be found here (too large picture to paste in directly). Another, Emil, has been training a few for a couple of years and has hopes of getting his own within a month. Me?...

What you need to be able to do it all is simple: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/D2X7498-markiz-memeliz-henry-von-platen.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/D2X7438-nordsvensk-markiz-henry-von-platen.jpg The "lightweight" versions of the North Swedish Horse, ori...

I would like to invite the Norweigans, but have been unable to find any contactinfo.
If you, or anyone else, can get hold of that then please PM me.

(special note: I have mailed this to a few others, such as Marc Némethy and Neil Payne, which is part of what I mean with priority to leave open for different countries) Update on the competition in Sweden, 30-31 May 2009 Here now the official invitation to participate as an international visitor at...

(I hope English is OK for you as well) Let's see if you'll be faster than one of us Swedes in getting a horse to be ready for archery in rennpass . I for one sure want to see it! That said; to the other subject It is my eperience that the more passionate and the more visionary people in a group are,...

Right. So. Totally sidestepping any discussion about purpose of the thread, I take it as a challenge (and a reminder to everyone about where the line between history and modern sport is - just as a warbow may be authentic, but if you shoot it at FITA-targets it's both traditional and modern) My curr...

So, I finally found some of the Viking-stuff. Here is a dissertation presented som years ago at Stockholm University named "The Birka Warrior" w Birka is an island in Lake Mälaren, at the time still connected with the Baltic sea. There are a number of interesting notes in this. It should further be ...

Soweit meine Theorie, falls SnowyOwl mir für den Schweden-Wettkampf ein Kamel (lieber zweihöckriges, da sitzt man etwas sicherer) organisiert bekommt, wage ich dann noch den Praxistest  Well, they have camelriding at Kolmården Zoo , 30 minutes from my city, so if we can't get a camel to the ga...
