The goal of The International War Horse Association (or TIWHA) is to: provide a forum for those who wish to practice the ancient art of mounted combat, promote horses of exceptional intelligence, courage, and strength, and eventually produce finest warhorses in existence.
Historical and non-historical breeds accepted. Horses are not required to have any previous war-training before being registered. Although we try to maintain a standard of historical correctness, we accept that creativity and flexibility is a large part of modern historical reenactment and will reflect that flexibility in our rules. However, this is and has always been a group for real breeds only.
Member Registration
In order to participate in TIWHA, you must be a registered member. Horses are registered separately.
1) You must have a stable to participate, but it does not have to be part of the HARPG. All images submitted to the club must be original. No line-arts are permitted unless specified.
2) Make a Coat of Arms for your stable. See more information here.
3) Include your stables' name and a link to the main page of your stable somewhere easily identifiable in the artist comments for the image. This is so I can list your stable without having to dig up all this information on my own (which does take some time).
4) Join the group by first clicking the "Join" button. Then please submit your Coat of Arms to the submissions folder.
5) You should receive admittance fairly quickly, and your stable will be added to a list.
6) Register your horse(s). ________
