VIRTUAL - Highland Havoc

Highland Foorde
Welcome to Virtual Highland Havoc 2020!
Â
For the good of the realm, we must remain in seclusion, but that does not mean that we must abandon The Dream! Highland Havoc’s inaugural year was 2019, and it was created with the intent of having a Northern Atlantian event in the fall focused on equestrians, archery, and equestrian archery. Though we must currently remain at distance, in an effort to engage and entertain, a cast of characters has assembled a laundry list of challenges for those who desire to show their prowess while in isolation. Hone your skills with A&S challenges! Virtually ride to victory with the equestrians! And most importantly, Toast to the Realm!
Â
