[Ser Elwood Meadows]

Fighting fit after a stint with the maester, Elwood takes to horseback to show off his skill ahead of the Joust. At least, that was the plan.

[Ser Lorent Tyrell]

Having bowed out early from the Grand Melee, Lorent was in good shape to attack the steeplechase, and he and the large white steed he rode made a good showing.

[Lord Androw Ashford]

Unlike Marten, Androw didn't feel able enough to fight in the melee, but horse riding he could still do.

[Leovall Marten]

With speed of crucial importance and knowing that Cole wasn't as good a jumper Leovall rode Josey for the steeplechase. With her combination of speed and powerful jumps she made short work of the course. The Marten heir didn't stick around too long afterwards however; he was going to follow the maester's suggestions so as not to antagonise his wound.

[Terrance Stone]

Terrance attempted the Steeplechase, but he was still heavily favoring his leg. At least he didn't fall off of Llyan.

The steeplechase proves thrilling and more than a little nail-biting, but there are no serious injuries to riders or horses.
