Themed around the 1460 Treatise of Rene of Anjou, the equestrian activities highlight pageantry in the fields of Equestrian and Martial deeds through a variety of tournaments and competitions. To read more about the vision and inspiration for the Emprise event, read the information on the website of the Madrone Equestrian Guild about the Emprise event that was held in 2019.
