What are Equestrian Arts?

Horses, donkeys and mules were vital in daily life, warfare, transportation, pageantry, and sport of humans in the pre-seventeenth centuries. There are many well established equestrian activities in the SCA, ranging from processions to historical performance riding, mounted combat to jousting, mounted archery to skill-at-arms competitions. As historical research continues to advance, new activities may be added at the discretion of the marshal-in-charge (for non-contact activities) or through an experimental program (for activities with higher risk of injury or contact). The equestrian marshallate oversees the use of all equines at all SCA events, and includes both martial and non-martial activities. Miniature horses that meet ADA provisions are exempt.
