Equestrian competition is rarely seen in the
MacThoy Games in this day and age, due primarily to the
expense of owning, caring and transporting nags. A few
stout MacThoys in the Southern Wastes are working to bring these
events back.
|
Two of the best
know events are Beer Spearing and the Pour.
Spearing involves plucking a
stein of beer on your lance and delivering it to the end
of the course.
Points are given for speed,
style, and the amount of beer that actually makes it to
the finish. |
The Pour is simpler race. Riders
ride past squires, snatching beer from their grasp, race a
loop, and then pouring it into a pitcher.
Pointes are given for speed,
style, and the amount of time it takes to fill a pitcher.
This competition could take an entire day depending on the
number of squires "helping" the rider fill his
pitcher with beer. |
