Across from us, there's a stall dedicated to the Royal Guard; they've got a recruitment station, where interested Ponies can take a shot at a summarized, compartmentalized version of the Royal Guard Entry Exam. They've got weights on a sled to pull, a pull-up bar (watching the Ponies try to use it... I have to ignore how odd it is for their physiology, or my head is going to start hurting), a square set aside for sparring with padded weapons, the whole works. A few of the Royal Guard are posted to it, making light conversation with some of the Ponies waiting in line to give the little course a shot.
