BSKX 3020 Beginning Medieval Riding (12.0 hours/$120.00/$3.50 Insurance)
Learn to do battle on horseback! Students must have walk/trot experience. Course will cover lance, arrows, and sword work. Students may bring their own horse. Class will visit jousting tournament during course.

Seriously. This is an actual class.

And you don't even have to bring your own horse.

Made. Of. Cool. Seriously. Should I take this?

man, I so would.

I *want* to. I mean--yes, death by horse hooves, so in my future--but man. What a very quaint way to go.

Awesome.

Wish they had classes like that around here.

I'm frankly shocked they have this *here*.

Only at ACC...Keep Austin Jousting!

Will you learn to jump over the ~~stone cows~~ horses?

*sticks out tongue*

*is amused* *re-watches clip of Jenn-slam*

Oh my god, where in TX is this? Any way to get all 12 hrs in like 3 days? Because seriously, I'd get a hotel room. Seriously.

I already do archery and I play a medieval sword-fighty game-thing and OMG I WANT this class.

Yes, take the class! Do it for me if not yourself.

found it online. Crap. That's far. And not cram-able.

That's cheap! Dooo eet!

*grins* It would be cool, wouldn't it?

Really - aside from the chance of horribly crippling permanent injury, what's holding you back? You'd be a fool not to do it.

Wow, I bet the lab fees are killer.

I should check, but it acts like it's not too high.

Hmm.

I'm fondly recalling the trail ride in MN, and your reaction to going down that hill.

If you take this class, I wish I could see it. *g*

If I take it, I will have someone record it *just for you*.

And hey, I was *fine* going downhill. I had issues, you know, not dying, but otherwise? I was fine.

Go for it!

I'm staring in thought!

If you don't take this, you'll be kicking yourself for missing the opportunity.
Seriously.

I know!

If I knew they'd do it next year, I could do the quick course on riding to assure I will be ready not to, say, fall off. Cause this is too cool. Dammit.

Have you asked them if they're planning a repeat next year? It's possible this is an annual/biannual class.

Jealous am I. (My speech patterns Yoda-like are because I am green as he.)

*smug* I love my city.

I love your city, too. Why can't my not-city be that cool? Maybe I could talk to the local cow-tipping brigade, convince them to liven things up a bit?

Yeah. Maybe not.

Well, do you have health insurance? :D

True. *thoughtful* Lots of it.

HELLS YES YOU SHOULD!

*thinking hard*

Dooooo eeeet.

I'm noting the "Students must have walk/trot experience," in the description and concluding that this is an intermediate course. I'm drawing some conclusions regarding your own riding experience level based on some of the comments and your replies, and suggesting that the prudent thing to do would be to contact someone or other with regards to the course and find out the odds of this being offered again anytime soon. If you can pick it up next year, do the learner stuff first.

But if this turns out to be a one-shot deal (like the "Languages of Science Fiction" course I lucked out on finding in the only semester it was apparently ever offered at UT), you're definitely going to be kicking yourself for having missed out. Hmm. When does it start and what are your options for picking up some quick riding experience in the intervening period?

Man. If I had any horseback riding experience that was, say, *less than 20 years old* I'd be right next to you, signing up, camera in hand for posterity's sake.
Now I have to look through the ACC catalog again. I want/need to take their jewelry fab classes, but they're all at Riverside. Which is on the other side of the county from me, these days. So, um, no.

I want! Except I’m still learning trot. Hee, even the boyfriend says he’d take such a class with me (though he has much less riding experience than even me).

Okay, that's awesome. I'd think you'd definitely want to get some solid walk/trot experience under your belt, though, so you can balance well (this assumption based on a few years of riding lessons, albeit sans weapons)... Though I wonder if they've though through the "bring your own horse" aspect. If your horse has never been around medieval weaponry before, chances are said weaponry waving around and clashing with other weaponry will make your horse TOTALLY FREAK OUT, I'd think...

That's a rhetorical question right?

12 hours... is that 12 *credit* hours or 12 hours total for a seminar or what? I mean, what's the time frame/time investment on this? Because if it's not too bad I'd be over that like white on rice, but... yeah.

The other thing I'd do is contact the instructor and find out the likelihood of it being offered again--if it is very likely, then bide and take a refresher course, otherwise, well, go down to a horse farm or whatever right now and get yourself back in the saddle anyway so you're not walking into the class completely rusty.

Seriously, though, this sounds like an AMAZING class. You should totally go for it if not now than next time it is offered.

Oh course- you must take this! Then if all else fails, you can get a job at Medieval Times!! *snort*

Although I do like the stipulation that you have to have walk experience.

OMG SO TOTALLY TAKE IT.

Uh, YES.

THAT is the coolest thing EVER! Yes, you should take it! And tell us all about it!

Dude, are you kidding? Of course you should take this. It's every shade of awesome.

SHOULD YOU TAKE THAT?

Is that even a real question?!?!?!?!?!?!

I am going to build a machine to TAKE OVER YOUR MIND AND TAKE IT THROUGH YOU.

Of course, I don't know how to ride a horse at all. hm.

Oh my god. Take it if only so that some of us can live vicariously through you!

(erm if you don't mind my asking, where do you go to school? because I know many places with equestrian centers but none with cool classes like that)

ok, by living vicariously I mean "salivating in green eyed ENVY"

although it is a little worrying that they only require walk/trot experience
