Introduction

This handbook provides a structure and standards for equestrian activities in the SCA. They are designed to allow use by the Kingdoms as basic rules, to which Kingdom-specific preferences can be added (such as specific authorizations, procedures, and conventions). In keeping with Corpora, Kingdoms retain the right to add rules which establish more restrictive standards. All equestrians and marshals are responsible for knowing these rules, as well as the additional rules of their Kingdom.

Revisions made to this edition include policy and weapon/armor clarifications and changes built upon our experience as activities grew more populous across the Society. These will improve the common structure while giving the individual Kingdoms as much freedom as possible to develop their own structure for the support of these activities.
