<hr />
<div>In the SCA, an equestrian is a person who engages in martial activities on horseback. The term also describes the activities themselves.<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 contests<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.</div>Runolfrhttps://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Cavalry&diff=25708Cavalry2006-03-28T14:23:13Z<p>Runolfr: cleaned up spelling</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Cavalry''' refers to units of [[horse|mounted]] [[fighter|warriors]] who fight from [[horseback]]. This allows them to use the speed and strength of the horse to greatly enhance their fighting capabilities.<br />
<br />
==Cavalry in Period==<br />
Before the [[10th century]], mounted cavalry were unusual on the [[battlefield]], as the [[stirrup]] had not been invented, and mounted combat less effective. Pitched battles would largely have been fought by [[infantry]] who may have ridden to the field, then dismounted on fought on foot. After the [[stirrup]] gained widespread use, however, cavalry became dominant on the battlefield.<br />
<br />
In the latter part of the [[medieval]] period, most [[noble]] warriors would have fought as cavalry whenever possible. The word ''cavalry'' shares the same root as ''[[chivalry]]'', and implies a better social standing than a common [[infantry|foot soldier]]. <br />
<br />
Cavalrymen were expensive, difficult to train, and hard to [[logistics|supply]]. They were also the primary form of full-time [[medieval]] soldier, as anyone who could afford a the accoutrements of the cavalry also had the time and income to train in their use.<br />
<br />
A warrior who owned his own horse, [[armour]] and [[weapon|weapons]] and possessed the skill to use them was a very rich man, and could support himself for life. [[Knighthood]] in period was less about nobility and chivalry than about possessing the skills to fight from horseback.<br />
<br />
[[Joust|Jousting]] and [[tourney|tourneys]] developed largely as a way for young [[knight|knights]] to practice the difficult skills of fighting from horseback during times of peace.<br />
<br />
==Cavalry in the SCA==<br />
The serious risk to life and limb involved in learning medieval mounted [[combat]] means that mounted combat in the [[SCA]] is rare. While some [[SCA]] [[event|events]] do have horses present, only a few trained individuals particpate in even the least dangerous skills involved in being a cavalryman (such as [[tilting for rings]]).<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, devoted [[equestrian]]s have continued to lobby for some semblance of [[mounted combat]], and experiments are in progress in some [[kingdom]]s, including [[Meridies]]. In these experiments, foam-padded weapons of the type used for [[youth combat]] are generally employed, and the object is to knock a loosely attached crest from the top of your opponent's helmet.<br />
<br />
Similarly, experiments in [[jousting]] are underway, with the [[lance]] being a fragile construct of cardboard and styrofoam to prevent injuries.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''[http://www.gulfwars.org/ Gulf Wars]''' is a week long [[SCA]] [[war]] traditionally between the [[Kingdom of Ansteorra]] and [[Kingdom of Trimaris]]. It takes place at Kings Arrow Ranch in Lumberton, Mississippi, and is hosted by the Kingdom of [[Gleann Abhann]].<br />
<br />
[[heavy fighting|Heavy Weapons]], [[Rapier]] (war point battles at GW15 will be fought with [[Reproduction rapier|heavy rapier]]s), [[Archery]], [[Equestrian]], [[Coursing]], [[Arts and Sciences|Art/Sci]], [[Live Weapon]]s, and volunteer hours are all counted for war points; [[Youth Combat]] is also available, but is not currently a war point.<br />
<br />
Attendance is currently three-to-four thousand, who come from almost every kingdom of the [[Known World]]. Classes are also available, as well as an Artisan's Row (Note: Gulf Wars has a lot of [[Middle East]]ern Classes available, since there is a Middle Eastern Encampment offering classes).<br />
<br />
In [[2005]] (GW 14), there was an announcement that the GW 15 would be a four-[[kingdom]] war, as Gleann Abhann would shortly become a kingdom in it's own right. At the end of each Gulf Wars Knowne World Court, the four kingdoms ( [[Ansteorra]], [[Trimaris]], [[Meridies]], and [[Gleann Abhann]] ) would roll dice, and the highest rolling and lowest rolling kingdoms would be allied against the other two kingdoms. Gleann Abhann will continue to host.<br />
<br />
The outcome of the roll resulted in the pairing of Ansteorra and Trimaris against Meridies and Gleann Abhann for GW 15 (2006).<br />

<div>Hello Runolfr and welcome to Cunnan,<br />
<br />
Good work on your edits so far I'm sure some of the other users will be very happy to see more contributions to Cunnan's dance pages.<br />
<br />
I've changed your two article edits to remove the in article attribution. Don't worry though, you can still see what you edited at your [[Special:Contributions/Runolfr|contributions]] page and you're still listed in the article histories for any page you've worked on ([http://cunnan.sca.org.au/index.php?title=Gulf_Wars&action=history] [http://cunnan.sca.org.au/index.php?title=Contrapasso&action=history]).<br />
<br />
Feel free to leave a note on my talk page or the village pump if you've got any questions. - [[User:Tobin|Tobin]] 19:27, 21 Feb 2006 (CST)<br />

== Dance stuff ==<br />
<br />
Hello and welcome to Cunnan.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your reconstruction of [[Contrapasso (dance)|Contrapasso]]. You may have noticed that I have moved it in order to disambiguate it from the dance step of the same name.<br />
<br />
As you have probably noticed there is an awful lot to be done on the dance sections in Cunnan (although there are already over forty of them here). I would like to see some sort of uniformity in layout too, but your presentation is much prettier than mine. A list of hyperlinked dance steps at the top of the choreography is about the only thing I would say that needed to be added (although I'll look at putting a midi up, as well as the appropriate diagram).<br />
<br />
If you have any other suggestions about how dances should be organised on Cunnan, please let me know.<br />
<br />

<br />
Thanks for the encouragement. I've added a second dance that I've researched, using the same table layout as for Contrapasso. I'll have to go back and link in dance steps at some point.<br />
