Terra Pomaria’s Long and Short of It approaches! This year’s event will be host to a veritable buffet of activities and tournaments. There will be Heavy Defender, Thrown Weapons, Archery, and Youth Archery Championship tournaments.

Equestrian Activities

We are thrilled to announce that the Barony of Glyn Dwfn will host its Baronial Equestrian Championship at this year’s Long & Short. This exciting tournament will determine the Equestrian Champion of Glyn Dwfn, and all riders—whether vying for the title or simply riding for the love of the sport—are welcome to compete.

In consultation with Their Excellencies of Glyn Dwfn, the championship will feature four distinct contests, with points awarded as follows:
1st place – 10 points, 2nd – 9 points, down to 1 point for 10th place.

The challenges are:

  1. Presentation:
    Present yourself and your noble steed in your finest regalia. Their Excellencies will ask why you seek to serve as Champion. Judging will be based on garb and your responses.

  2. Presentation Under Saddle:
    You’ll have two minutes to showcase your horsemanship and your mount before the judges. Put your best hoof forward!

  3. Challenge Course:
    timed obstacle course featuring elements such as the quintain, heads, reeds, rings, gates, bridges, and more. All elements must be attempted; missed targets will incur time penalties. The fastest clean run wins!

  4. Mounted Combat Sans Weapons Tournament:
    Compete in a display of skill and tactical riding—no weapons, no armor. Riders will attempt to gain advantage over their opponent in one-minute bouts. A tournament format (round-robin, double, or single elimination) will be chosen based on time and turnout. A brief safety and orientation meeting will precede the tournament.

Want to ride for the title?
To be considered for Champion, please declare your intent the day of the event. Otherwise, feel free to participate simply for the joy of riding and competition.
