re: Formation Riding Sign-Up Sheet

Want to trot out with your fellow riding enthusiasts in style and impress a crowd?
You've come to the right place! Join the Windy Acres Quadrille Dressage Team!

What is Quadrille Dressage? I'm so glad you asked!

Formation riding, more formally known as quadrille dressage, is a competitive equestrian sport. Groups of riders perform choreographed maneuvers, usually 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.

Head over here for more information:
http://windyacres.mymiddleearth.com/?page_id=1806

I'd love to have a team of 8 riders and 4 drummers to entertain crowds at the Spring Racing Carnival, along with any other races and events where we feel like putting on a show. If you're interested, respond to this post with the following information:

1) Your character's name.
2) The list of normal (+62%) horses that you have or are willing to buy.
3) The list of fast (+68%) horses that you have in your stable.
4) When you are available for practice. (I'm hoping for Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, just make it to one.)
5) [Optional] Suggestion(s) for the team's name.
6) [Optional] Item name and dye colors for uniform suggestions.

I will collect the information and post it here - http://windyacres.mymiddleearth.com/?page_id=1894

I hope to see you on the practice field!

re: Formation Riding Sign-Up Sheet

I'm terrible at steering, but this sounds fun anyway.


1. Runesdaeg
2a. Have:

    cremello
    Yule festival snowy
    Yule festival glittering
    Yule festival frosty
    eglan
    grey
    Smokey black
    Algraig
    fireworks laden
    Perlino
    Rivendell
    Simbelmyne


2b. I could easily go buy any of the four basic Hengstacer's farm horses and the following rep horses:

    Council of the north
    Bree
    Wardens of Annuminas
    Lossoth of Forochel
    Galadhrim
    Esteldin
    Mathom
    Stangard
    Dunland
    Theodred

I could also get the Grey Company horse and the other Malledhrim horse (the one that isn't black) but not instantly, it would take a few days of quests for barter tokens.

3.
    Elf Ambassador's
    Lossoth steed (from the envelope)
    Eriador
    Jester

4. Wednesday evenings work for me, as do pretty much any evening that isn't already taken up with things like Ales and Tales


It turns out I've got more horses than I'd thought, I must be fro Rohan.

re: Formation Riding Sign-Up Sheet

Hey Kira

I'd love to join the dressage team (although I wouldn't mind a manlier name for it :)) but obviously, unless you run wednesday nights very, very late, weekdays are bad for me - I can log in weeknights starting 11pm at the earliest, PST (that'd be about 2am EST) - weekends are, of course, easier for me

still, I know you need to cater to your own schedule, and the majority that you can find to participate, so don't worry too much about me - I might like to try and submit some performance maneuvers if such an option becomes available

till then, I wish you all the best of fortune, and if there's a day I *can* come by and participate, I'll be happy to

re: Formation Riding Sign-Up Sheet

We might be able to schedule something for Saturday mornings, possibly Sunday mornings. What time would work for you?

In addition to coming up with new maneuvers, feel free to design us some routines. I'll be writing a few myself very soon.

EDIT: I'm going to try to schedule for Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, asking team members to make either one (or both if they like).

re: Formation Riding Sign-Up Sheet

1) Trignee

2) Green, White, and Red ponies of the Gap (Isengard), Steed of the Horse-Lords (mithril edition), Winged Herald Pony (from the friend referrals). I am willing to buy the steeds at the horse-fields, but currently I don't have enough in game money to buy those horses on a whim.

3) Reveller's Guilded Pony (from the lotro store)

4) I am pretty much available any time during the week, especially since summer break is coming, though some Sundays I go to my grandparents house, but only around 12pm/servertime. Also, I will be gone for the whole month of July (1st to 27th)to go to a summer camp and I won't have a computer with me, so I can't even log in to come practise.

5) I love then name Windy Acres Riding Club, or the Equidae Equestrians! :D

6) Cavalry Hauberk from the Outfitter, dyed Evendim Blue would be pretty.

Hooray, a drummer!

Now what we need is a really simple ABC file that has a nice, infinitely repeating, military-style drum beat for practices.

Apis wants to be a drummer, too.

There's no such thing as an infinite abc, but with enough copy-paste... we can bang on a drum all day for you. Maybe we should go ask for tips from Andúnië, they've certainly demonstrated a proficiency with drums.

Apis also volunteers to go around saluting dressage team members if they still need to earn the sword-salute emote. =D

If you need more than one drummer, I am generally available Wednesday evenings. I can also help out with salutes for riders needing the sword salute emote.

*runs to her e-mail to ask them* Asking Andunie great idea! They have pibgorn songs too!
Tomorrow, I can spend my day to find appropriate military songs, and transcript them. Prepare yourselves for an earthquake! lol

Drummers are also welcome to ride. We can take turns at the drums.

I put these together for really basic starter ABCs. Hopefully someone can come up with some nice military drum pieces later, perhaps even with a little lute accompaniment. Andunie songs would be awesome, great idea!
