Join the Riding Team!

[Kiralynn]

The Windy Acres Ranch formation riding team meets every Wednesday night at the sports arena in the Horsefields. You can find it just southwest of the Bree festival grounds. We meet at 9:30pm /servertime. Practice lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.

This equestrian sport is great fun. Groups of riders perform choreographed maneuvers to music. It is similar to drill team. A minimum of four horses are used, although additional pairs can be added to the team. At the highest level, teams perform intricate maneuvers in complicated shapes on the field. Matching horses and uniforms, upbeat music and clever synchronization make formation riding an incredible sight to behold.

The team performed at Ales and Tales in October for a large crowd. We are just starting to work on our new routine, so now is the perfect time to join!



We help members by supplying reputation items and gold needed to buy steeds. We also provide the cosmetic items that we wear during performances so that you can copy them into your wardrobe. You don't need any special skills to start, just a willingness to learn and a good team spirit.
