Emerald Hastilude
(2022-09-02 - 2022-09-04 - Site opens at 2:00 PM & Closes at 3:00 PM)
Tir-y-Don
In the autumn of A.S. 47, Master Rhys Terfan Greydragon and Lady Dubheasa ní Chéirín invited the Atlantian Cavalry and friends to their estate. The event, Hastilude at the Hollow, was a celebration of the equestrian arts in Atlantia. Five times did they host this gathering and now, after a three year hiatus because of the Great Plague, the celebration returns. This year, the Barony of Tir-y-Don wishes to honor this tradition and invites the Atlantian Cavalry and friends to a weekend of equestrian games, practices, hard work, and camaraderie at the Emerald Ridge Stables in Lanexa , Virginia. The site will open at 2 pm on Friday, September 2, 2022 and close at 3 pm on Sunday, September 4, 2022. THE SCHEDULE IS POSTED ON THE EVENT WEBSITE.
EQUIPMENT TO BRING: If you’re bringing horses, please bring at least 50 ft of hose and Y connectors for water. Also, don’t forget to bring horse enclosures. Please check the Event Website to see if there are any equipment updates. Equipment needed for games will be listed on that site.

If you are working the event and want to camp, please send him the dimensions of your tent, including the ropes. We will be camping in one of the enclosed pastures. |
SITE ACCESSIBILITY: Please note that Emerald Ridge Stables is a working barn with very little pavement, making wheelchair/scooter access challenging, especially if the weather is rainy. There are no charging stations on site. Bathrooms are not designed for handicap access. Parking will be in one of the pastures, if we know someone is coming that needs handicap parking it may be possible to arrange one or two spaces closer to the barn. (The regular parking area near the barn is not very large.) The office is being used for food preparation and not open for shelter from the weather. PERSONAL FIELD PAVILIONS: There is not room to set up personal field pavilions near the arena. We are working on setting up the Tir-y-Don pavillion to provide a place for meal service and protection from the weather. Please note, this will not be situated to allow a view of the activities in the indoor arena. VIEWING THE EQUESTRIAN ACTIVITIES: The indoor arena limits viewing options for those not participating in the activities. The best non-rider ways to see things are as a marshal or ground crew. There will be ground crew classes offered at 4 pm on Friday and 9 am on Saturday. If you"re interested in becoming a member of the ground crew, please contact Sir Tnek the Ainissestor to discuss class options. |
