Warhorse Challenge Association

The Warhorse Challenge Association is dedicated to giving every horseperson the opportunity to experience the thrill of testing themselves and their horses in events such as lancing rings, horseback sword techniques, horse archery, and other contests used throughout history to train warhorses and their riders. Whatever your historical interest, from French Knights to nineteenth century British cavalry, from Huns to Confederate Rebel Riders, the WCA offers venues where you and your horse can put on war paint or armor and compete against like-minded equestrians. We have two interrelated goals at the Warhorse Challenge Association: To establish a set of international standards for the conduct of historical warhorse challenges, and to offer both regional and national venues and awards for such competitions. We are now in the process of setting up clinics and shows for the upcoming season. Please check the calendar, and read the General Information section for more details on some of the exciting possibilities we offer with the Warhorse Challenge Association.
