The object of the (Mounted Games) Association
is to encourage friendship between young people of different
nations."
Norman Patrick, Founder
MGA Founder Norman Patrick's goal
was to foster friendship between riders of different nations
through mounted games competitions and exchanges. With
this goal in mind, the MGAA Board of Governors has begun
searching out international riding opportunities for our
members. Listed below are a summary of the opportunities
the MGAA BOG has sanctioned. Please contact the MGAA BOG
if you have come across any more international opportunities or
have any questions about these listed.

For many years Robert Taylor and
Janey Lawrence have been taking teams of mounted games riders to
Australia during a few weeks in the summer. Robert and
Janey are good friends and associates of Mounted Games
Across America and offered these team slots to MGAA members
often. Anyone interested in playing in Australia should
contact Janey Lawrence at
janey1224@aol.com. Robert and Janey prefer riders to
have many years of experience playing games especially at the
USPS International and Nationals level. They also prefer
riders to be 17 years of age or older.
Mounted Games Across Canada, an new mounted games group
in the Toronto area of Ontario province, has invited all MGAA
members to ride in any of their competition. MGAA members are
offered the same discounted entry fees as MGAC members enjoy.
MGAA lists many of the MGAC competitions on our calendar web
page. Please check them out. It is a quick and easy
way to begin getting international experience and the MGAC hosts
could not be any more gracious. Single riders, pairs, and teams
are all welcome.
