On Saturday afternoon around 2pm, members of the company gathered at the maison de Reed. We had assembled a fine group of people and foodstuffs for the Wolfe Argent "Drill-n-Grill". We greeted a new member who donned one of my gowns to brave the warm July sun to participate. We appreciate Katherine traveling quite a distance to visit.
Once all the members arrived and kitted up, we got into the conveyances and made the journey to the site of the drill, Living Legends Farm. This gave us access to a large sand ring to indoctrinate the horses and a potential trail if the day went well enough to head out into the "wilds".
Disembarking, we quickly separated into work details to make the most of the time we had alloted. Alex and I went and collected the horses, and when we returned, broke into two grooming details; Renie and I groomed and saddled Phantom and Alex and Morgan worked with Normandie.
This was Phantom's second exposure to a group of armoured and armed people. I was, unfortunately, the only person not in kit for this exercise. However, there is a method to my madness; I wanted to make sure that nothing hindered my riding abilities should Phantom spook for any reason.
Once we were ready, Phantom and I headed out. I wanted to be mounted and ready to go before the armoured "horde" joined us. Renie came out and stood at Phantom's head and held the reins and my off-side stirrup. This was HUGE. Why? Because Phantom had never really had a person stand at her head with helmet, maille, and brightly colored clothing before; she took it all in stride without a flinch.
I mounted and headed for the far side of the ring as the rest joined me in the ring. Phantom's ears were forward and her eyes rivoted on the mass of silver, clothed in a riot of color, bearing long, poles that ended in metal.
As soon as the Chef de Chambre was mounted on Normandie, I gave Phantom her head and she decided to head over to see "what was what".
In less than 10 minutes, Phantom was following the pikemen; allowed them to get close, and could stand next to their formation. After about a half hour, we rode out of the ring into a much larger area with a slight hill.
Normandie got a little fractious, but the Chef de Chambre was in control. After about 10 minutes he had to dismount because of his ankle (previous riding injury) and switched places with Alex.
Pieter (Sgt. at arms), continued to drill the troops. He asked if he could have the group of pikemen approach Phantom from the flank; I agreed. Phantom watched as they approached. Her ears were forward, her eyes fixed, she didn't even twitch and they got to be about 3 feet from me. I was so proud of her. I legged her in a tight circle around them as they did an about face and she didn't mind at all.
We were hoping to go out on the trial into the hills behind the facility, but I felt that Phantom had accomplished a lot, and with horses, you always want to end on a good note.
So we adjourned. The horses received a lot of gingersnaps for their participation. Everyone packed up and we headed back to the house for some much needed foodstuffs.
Fortunately in the time before everyone showed up, Bob and I had done the prep work for the feast. Onions, cabbage, green onions, leeks, mushrooms and marinade were all prepared. So as soon as we got in, the cooking commenced.
The wine marinated Beef went on the grill; the cabbage and leeks went into the broth, and mushrooms were joined with onions and spices.
The menu for the evening consisted of food prepared and seasoned according to 14th and 15th century recipes.
We wrapped everything up around 10:45 pm. Members quite literally put in a full day.
Bob and I enjoyed having everyone there and know that without you all, this wouldn't have been the success that we feel it was. We missed the members that couldn't make it and hope that next time we'll see you.
Thanks everyone!

The menu for the evening consisted of food prepared and seasoned according to 14th and 15th century recipes.
- Marinated Beef (Delmonico steaks in a Medieval wine marinade grilled)
- Cabbage and Leek potage (cabbage and leeks boiled in beef broth with spices)
- Mushrooms with diced onions and spices
- Brautwerst on the grill
- Boule bread and rolls
- Imported German beer
- Sparkling Grape juice (non-alcohol choice)
- Asparagus with Saffron (prepped, but we didn't actually cook it ; we had A LOT of food)
- We also had seafood, but again we had so much that we didn't actually prepare it.
- Once again, a great big thanks goes out to the Sherri and Mark and the rest of the Connors family for the use of the riding ring and open area, and to the other boarders for being supportive and indulgent.
- Rachel for taking pictures and helping me with the dishes afterwards. You didn't have to, but I really appreciate it.
- Katie for traveling a great distance to meet strange new people and for taking part in the drill in the warm sun, we look forward to seeing you again. Hopefully you can stay for dinner next time.
- Alex for being an apt student in the equestrian arts and being the primary weapons transporter; Trucks rock.
- Pieter for bringing his kit and wearing his helmet. ;) , oh, and the beer and braut
- Renie for bringing horse treats and acting as my valet at the beginning of the drill; for bringing lots of bread, and being an enabler by supplying cat "drugs" (Mishka thanks you for the catnip!)
- Morgan for helping get Normandie ready; by the next drill we're hoping to get out on the trail.
We wrapped everything up around 10:45 pm. Members quite literally put in a full day.
Bob and I enjoyed having everyone there and know that without you all, this wouldn't have been the success that we feel it was. We missed the members that couldn't make it and hope that next time we'll see you.

Everything about horse betting
Several states have enacted legislation allowing slot machines and other forms of gaming on-track. Tracks such as Mountaineer have used this additional source of revenue to improve their facilities, increase their purses and upgrade their overall level of racing. This legislation has also made it attractive for casino owners, such as Harrah's, to purchase and operate horse racing venues as a part of their business strategy.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horse racing systems[/url]
In the United Kingdom, there are races that involve obstacles (either hurdles or fences) called National Hunt racing and those that are unobstructed races over a given distance (flat racing). The UK has provided many of the sport's greatest ever jockeys, most notably Gordon Richards.
What makes this event so difficult to win? Several factors have to be considered. First there's the age of the horses. Triple Crown races are limited to 3 year olds, juveniles, all of whom officially have their birthday on January 1st of each year. By the first Saturday in May (the running of the Kentucky Derby), though most of the contestants will have actually reached their third birthday, they won't realize their full growth and potential until their fourth or fifth years.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horse racing systems[/url]
On paper, Barbaro is the horse to beat, and after his decisive win at the Kentucky Derby, he appears capable of beating all comers. But this is horse racing and no matter how it looks on paper we still have to run the race.

After all, if you want to join the gaming community, you have to decide whether you want to play for money or for fun and prizes. If the former, it is more pertinent to find out what sites are legitimate since you do not want to invest cash into something that is not going to give you a return on your investment.

What you have to do is, coordinate the numbers that are called out by the host with what you have on our sheet, aiming at filling up a pattern reading bingo. The pattern would be announced at the beginning of the game, so you have to be careful to know what pattern you are looking out for. The cards have the b-i-n-g-o letters on rows and numbers running as a column. A host would call out a letter-number combination, which you would have to mark on your sheet. For example if I-34 is called, you will have to look at the I column down to search for number 34. In case you have it, you place a market on it, and so on.
