Ok who decides these minimum standards.
Many horses are worked in higher temps than 90
Vet and ferries on site? How about having info for locals who are aware of the event .
Love to bring a horse to pennsic but see some issues .

Kaliban

Naa he had the typical nose cut across the the bridge hehe .. i know quite a few marklanders and scadians with those scars

Kaliban

could have helped on the others ..and most jousters I know also have a chainmail skirt to help ..

Kaliban

Saddle plates maybe

Kaliban

It is simple. He got his foot stood on in a sand arena, he over-reacted badly and punched a horse in the head whilst wearing a steel manifer. He refused the punishment handed out by the horses owner, he refused to apologise. He was removed from the show. Can you imagine the bitching if nothing had ...

Hello Everyone, It was for drama’s sake they blew this out of proportion. All horse riders know that sometimes you have to smack a horse! (whether it be with your hands, crop or spurs) The horse was crushing my little piggies, I had a split second before what I felt like my toes were gonna break so...

Kaliban

i will stop by and say hi

So how exactly did James Fairclough (sp?) (THE HAMMER) get all cut up inside his helmet like that? I've never seen anything quite like that before. :? My speculation based on where they were stapling him vs how the helmet sits.... The padding bottomed out and the inner portion of the bolt for the l...

Kaliban

I agree Luther with you .. just saying with the combined jousting experience there in the staff and I know quite a few of them well .. Just when it comes to this sport sometimes forgetting that detail can get someone hurt . I am still impressed but what you all pulled off in the time and budget rest...

Serious question on the pauldrons/spaulders; it looks like they sit too low to me. Doesn't seem to matter much, since it's not really a "sword arm" like it would be in foot combat. It looks like they should sit a bit higher on the shoulder to look "right". I've seen several shots where the breast/b...

Kaliban

well i wish you the best of luck then Rod

Kaliban

Kaliban, who are you? Are you a jouster, I mean a jouster, not someone who had a go at it once? 'Cause you really seem to have a your period on about anything to do with jousting, regardless of who it is you seem to like to have a little whine in the background. Are you the guy that put a joust on ...

Kaliban

Being the devils advocate the same thing can be said about you and shane and some others .. And you speak of lower quality and now you accuse someone of fixing the results .. thats interesting .. I have heard the same of Mr. Adams . So who is right and wrong .. You want us to take your word for it .

Kaliban

What's with the drama ..thought this was going to be different

Kaliban

Yea but the first season was the best .. after that they focused on the drama and not the skills

Kaliban

Not even sure I would call that armour or hell even a grand guard .. But I have friends involved with this so I will give it a chance as well just like i did with KoM either way both shows will move the sport into the light a bit more .

Kaliban

ya could have asked one of us Uly

Kaliban

Money wasn't the reason I withdrew. I can afford to go just fine. I became interested initially because I thought the combat would be more authentic than SCA combat, and later learned that it isn't, really. The absence of thrusting makes it just as inauthentic in its own way as SCA combat is. The o...

Kaliban

Hi all, Whenever the subject of jousting comes up, I find it interesting to see how folks can be so quick to focus on some detail, be it the personalities involved or the particular style of harness or lance, instead of focusing on the common elements. I usually refer to jousting as an example of d...

Kaliban

Come on Lloyd you know people in hell want Milkshakes

Kaliban

Rules for jousting very greatly over time and place. Broken lances appears to be the most common scoring method but certainly there were times and places where unhorsings were the goal. In Tudor and Elizabethan England we have surviving scoring checks showing point scoring for touches to the body o...

Kaliban

Watched it on On Demand and cringed the whole time. Then got to see John Clements on the "Fight Book" show. All we needed was a 'how to make armour' by Dark Victory, or "basic accounting" by Brian Price and we will be good to go!!! Please don't rank on Dark Victory. They guy is a good man who is ju...

IGNORE these other idiots.

who are the other idiots ?

Kaliban

I think there is a place with all these styles of jousting .. and getting all the different troupes and styles together could make things more interesting .

Kaliban

I would like to know what was taken out by the producers .. they do like to show more drama these days with the reality shows..

Kaliban

I thought the guy fighting in the hole against the woman was pretty interesting. I wish they really knew what instances that would happen. The pictures were pretty intense. I have Talhoffer's book. I just never paid close enough attention that some were female! I have that book around here somewher...

Kaliban

Why am I not surprised ...

Kaliban

Come on Lyod you have been in the buisness long enough .. when the crap talking going to start ..

Kaliban

it will either be fun to watch or a train wreck .. and I am sure there will be opinions from other jousters chiming in when it happens if not sooner.

Kaliban

I would like ot knwo who is doing the training and who is supplying the armour ..

Kaliban

cool stuff Leo

Kaliban

cool stuff Leo

Kaliban

Sorry rod but Bite you I will not .. and Sorry since it is posted under your name .. But My apologies. As for Armour .. any armour not made right can effect .. most of us who wear armour know this . And yes there is a difference to someone who can ride and someone who cannot ride well . And whatever...

Kaliban
