The Grand Greenfields Gallop
| Date: | May 6th, 2012 |
|---|---|
| Time: | Meetup from 7PM GMT+1 (2PM servertime). Event starts at 7:30PM (2:30PM servertime) |
| Location: | Brockenborings, Bullroarer party field east of town |
Event details:
An annual party, the Grand Greenfields Gallop is where the northern hobbits meet to celebrate spring, dress in their finest and impress their favourite lad or lass. Traditionally, they also bring their trusted ponies with them to roam the grassy fields after the long winter. Dancing and merriment fills the day, but the centrepiece of the party is the pony race.
Early registration is recommended. Read the rules and how to enter the race on the Grand Order of the Lost Mathom forum.
The race around the Greenfields takes place as a knockout competition, where the final champion has proven him- or herself to be a master of all things equine. The route itself honours the work of the local quick post hobbits, who brave both the dangerous wild beasts on the Greenfields as well as grumpy old umbrella-wielding hobbits in their line of work. Come join us Sunday May 6th in Brockenborings!
Plans for the event:
- Speeches!
- Music and entertainment!
- The Gallop, a knockout pony/horse race! With prizes!
- Judging of the most hobbity mount and rider outfit combination! With prizes!
- Pony dances! Sway to the tunes while staying on your mount!
- Much hobbity merriment!

This is a hobbit-themed event, but riders of all shapes and sizes are welcome! This is a roleplaying event, so please stay in character and follow the Laurelin server RP guidelines.
Prizes awarded during the event include a Perlino Steed and codes for Turbine Points. In addition to the race, a panel of judges will look for the mount and rider outfit combination they deem most likely to impress a hobbit. So even if you’re not racing, you are encouraged to spend much time on your mount and put some effort into your outfit!
In addition to the contests, we plan for a festive party with music, entertainment and merry moods. So come celebrate spring with us even if you don’t enter the race, dress in your hobbit-looking best and remember to participate in the pony dancing!
