Jereed is a team game where you eliminate players on the other team by hitting them with a foam-tipped thrown weapon simulator. Teams can include all riders, or riders vs. ground players.
Jereed - any simulator can be used that can be thrown from distance, and is padded to not cause injury to horse or rider.
Suggested simulator: Foam missile footballs with the tail extended by a 3 foot section of 1/2 inch PEX tubing, secured with tape. Painted or other method to disguise modern elements.
Rider - Eye protection is required. Loaner shop glasses will be available.
Horse - Horse eye protection is required.
Riders are divided into 2 teams.
Each rider has 2 lives.
Each rider starts with 2 jereeds.
Legal target is torso and above. Leg/foot hits do not count.
Jereeds must be thrown from a minimum 10 feet away. Hits thrown from closer distance do not count.
If a rider hits a horse, the throwing rider loses a life.
If a rider hits a horse in the head, the throwing rider is immediately eliminated.
The round ends when everyone is out of jereeds or everyone on one team is eliminated.
You can catch jereeds to "re-arm".
Optional version - if you catch a jereed, the throwing rider loses a life.
