I HATE this crap term "full contact" jousting. I think this may be a short-hand way of differentiating from competitive jousting vs. renaissance fair and medieval times jousting. This is accurate. Also, here on the east coast, people tilt at rings and call it jousting. Anyways I want to s...

I hear a lot about head trauma in SCA but I thingk there is a more dangerous thing than blunt trauma in the the lists: heat.

Extreme heat can arguably cause brain damage more easily than the sort of head traumas typically dealt in the SCA.

In one of Eward Oakshotts books (I think one of his Juvenile series) on a Knight and his horse, he refers to a historical preference for horses that naturally canter on a right lead.
