I've always wanted to try tent pegging along with mounted archery. Unfortunately, the closest I've come was a not so pretty attempt at jousting with the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). Yes, I am a nerd.

We're getting there! LOL
Every year we get a little bit better. The best part about being at the Royal was meeting so many people who have used our services successfully. It makes all the long hours burning my eyes in front of the computer screen worth while to hear about the great jobs (and the great employees) found using our site.

Tjose games and polo, of course ..MADE riders :-)) Amanda
