Introduction to Medieval Mounted Games
Introduction to Medieval Mounted Games (MMG) (3 hours)
This is an introductory clinic for those interested in mounted Medieval sport. Students begin with padded weapons at a walk, always proceeding at the pace they and their mount are most comfortable with. Games progress steadily until students can confidently throw a sharpened spear into a target at a canter.
Session will include:
- List Etiquette & Protocol
- Lance Control
- Catching Rings
- Spear Throw
- Shield & Lance Intro
** All Introduction to MMG clinic participants must have an intermediate riding level, with a solid grasp of walk, trot, canter, turning, and, of course, stopping. During this clinic we will be adding new movements to these basic foundational skills. **
