I've been approached to help with a Magyar style "mounted" tournament and I'm not sure how to set up part of it. Any suggestions would be welcome.

The plan is to set up three targets at specific distances, and to simulate mounted archery. Right now we're thinking "trailer with saddles mounted on bales of hay"...but ... well, I'm not sold on that.  

Need to come up with a way to have the participants *simulate* riding down the line of fire instead of actually being on a horse (this way everyone can participate and not just those that are also equestrian authorized).
 We've discussed a pulley system, possibly using a golf cart, laying down track, everything.

Anyone out there ever done something like this or have good solid ideas on this?

Thanks, 
Miriel
