[Archers] EQ / TA archery

[jaynardone at comcast.net]

Thank you for the information Sir Tnek, I know I am interested in taking the class and I would suggest our other marshals who might be willing to help, take the class as well. 

In Service, 

Janyn

Greetings All, 

Lady Alienor, the KEO, has asked me to assist her in interfacing with the 
Archery community. 



So I'd like to clarify something about the EQ class Lord Janyn mentioned in 
his post, for those who might not be aware of it. The class that Alienor 
was referring to in her discussions with Janyn, Gaston & Otto is not an EQ 
Marshals class, but it is their Equine Safety Class, also referred to as 
Cavalry 101 or the "Liability Class". The purpose of this class is to 
ensure that everyone interacting with horses, or even being in close 
proximity to them during equestrian activities, is familiar with proper 
safety protocols, and that they avoid any actions that could endanger the 
riders or horses (If you're not familiar with horses, you may be surprised 
at what innocuous little things can spook a horse). 



Atlantian Policy, Para.3.5.4.5.1 states: "Anyone who plans to step out onto 
the Cavalry list field while horses are present or in the callforward area 
must complete a ground crew authorization. This authorization consists of 
successful completion of the liability class and any other requirements 
deemed necessary by the KEO." 



This applies to the EQ TA Range as well, which means that in order to 
marshal (or assist in marshalling) an EQ TA shoot, you must have a Ground 
Crew authorization. The process is fairly simple, and can typically be 
completed in about an hour or so. 



Note that this authorization is not required in order to inspect EQ TA 
equipment or to set up or inspect the range, as long as no horses are 
present at the time, so any warranted TA marshal would be able to perform 
those functions. Of course, the goal is to have enough warranted TA 
marshals within the equestrian community to handle all of the needs for EQ 
TA, but until then, they will appreciate the assistance of any TA marshal 
who is willing to help in whatever capacity they can. 



YIS, 

Sir Tnek the Ainissestor

Most excellent move forward. Is the EQ warrant class offered at most 
universities? Don't recall seeing it listed.

of the Bow. As most of you are aware I have been working behind the scenes 
with Lady Elanor from the EQ marshalette as well as Sir Otto and Master 
Gaston to bring some resolution and closure to the issues we have been 
seeing with the mounted archery program. At coronation this weekend we all 
had a chance to sit down and discuss the items I have been bringing up since 
the inception of this discussion. I am pleased to announce that I believe we 
have all come to agreement and Sit Otto blessed the direction going forward. 
Here is what was agreed upon: 



1. EQ TA marshals MUST complete our full MiT program to become a warranted 
TA marshal for the EQ community, no exceptions! 

2. I suggested that the EQ community increase the number of warranted TA 
marshals among their ranks to assure they are properly covered. 

3. The book of the horse will be revised to reflect the correct TA rules 
for range safety, I suggested a pointer to our TA rules so if there are any 
updates on our side, they wont have to be made in multiple places. 

4. I suggested that they get new EQ TA players with a warranted TA marshal 
among their ranks so the new comers can be watched and coached properly. 

5. Any TA marshal will be able to take the EQ class so we can better 
understand their requirements as well. 



I want to thank everyone that either contacted me or helped with these 
discussions. My push from day one was safety and not finger pointing. 



In Service, 



Janyn Fletcher
