== Equestrian in the SCA ==<br />
<br />
In the [[SCA]], an '''equestrian''' is a person who engages in [[martial]] activities on horseback. The term also describes the activities themselves. Learn about [http://www.freelancercareers.com/ free lance writing]. Find freelance writing jobs. Learn how to freelance.<br />
<br />
Most equestrian activities in the SCA do not involve direct confrontation between participants. Instead, contestants take the field one at a time and try to achieve the highest score and/or the best time for the activity. Scores and/or times are compared at the end of the contest to determine the winner.<br />
<br />
Examples of [[equestrian contest]]s<br />
<ul><li>[[Reeds]]</li><br />
<li>[[Tilting at Rings]]</li><br />
<li>[[Quintain]]</li></ul><br />
<br />
Some [[kingdom]]s (including [[Meridies]]) are now experimenting with [[mounted combat]] using padded weapons and [[jousting]] using styrofoam [[lance]]s.<br />
