Speaking of "shameless plugs." The Barony of Bright Hill, Atlantia, is hosting a dog and horse friendly event the weekend of July 4th. Below is the website with the event details and contact information.
All Things Marshal July 1 -4 Elkton, Maryland <http://www.brighthills.net/events/ATM2005.htm> They are interested in having dog and horse themed classes. I will be teaching my two classes, Introduction to Dog Carts and Period Wheeled Vehicles. Introduction to Dog Carting Learn how to train your medium or large dog to pull a wagon. In period, tradesmen used dogs to make local deliveries and large dogs were used to introduce small children to the equestrian arts. The class will include a demonstration with Lady Rachel's dog. Handouts will include plans for shafts, breast harness, and hand wagon conversion. Period Wheeled Vehicles Why re-invent the wheel? Learn about period wheeled vehicles pulled by draft animals. This class will review cart, wagon, harness, and wheel technologies from the Viking period through the 16th century. Chariots and other vehicles from the ancient period may be discussed if the class shows an interest. Handouts will include plans for a Viking wagon and a 3rd century AD Roman Coach.
