This is the absolute best topic ever.

Gosh I love you Jeff and Gwen. I am so inspired now about tilting I want to go out to MRF next weekend on my horse and challenge the jousters there!

Leo Medii

Dang....nothing but an empty white square. Hear sound, no vid.

I have all the appropriate players, I wonder why.

I haev select bible verses related to the defense of the person by god, and on my arm harness I have the angle of god prayer along with my personal motto.

Leo Medii

Wow, some great pics.

Dang....those ponies are perfect. However, I would have to sell a kidney for some of those!

I guess this brings me back to the earlier discussion of how wealthy you haev to be to joust all the time.

Leo Medii

Thanks Jeff!

yeeeouch! 14K is a lil bit much for this po redneck boy!

I like my 1K appy a lot more now!

Leo Medii

If anyone has more information or such on the Cobb horses I'd be much obliged!

Leo Medii

Yep! I bought a saddle on aBay. The transaction went fine, but the measurements were off (like in the article) and it didn't fit. Now, I need a horse that it will fit!

I keep seeing the Peruvian Paso saddles....ooooooo do I want one.

Leo Medii

My friend, I know peoples

Hmmmm, are they selling? What's teh scoop on them? I am looking for another horse for jousting next year.

Leo Medii

I SOOOOOOOO want one!

Leo Medii

Pistol is sold pending payment to feed my gauntlet addiction.

The "List" is the field upon which the combat occurs, the "Tilt" is the fence separating the riders. Any other interpretation is a modern inaccuracy. They are often confused. Look it up in a primary source or in a reliable secondary source and you'll see what I mean. Jeff is right. I've done a lot ...

Leo Medii

Gwen, I can only say I learned from the best. Our first SCA event was Pennsic, and we all found you and Jeff and HE. We went from LARP fanatics shopping at Pennsic to be elves and wizards at teh LARP at home, to joining the SCA and trying to portray a historical company of 1401. If we didn't buy you...

Leo Medii

Man Leo not only are you purty - apparently you have ridden in some of the same lists with the same peeps as me... Yep. After three days of jousting training I got to go live in Texas. I was hooked after that. Roy was quite possibly the best boss I had ever had. I'm glad things went well for him an...

Leo Medii

but I would be suprised if those guys we'ren't sitting on a Paint or Appaloosa.

hey now!

I had to work with what I had, and he's one AWESOME jousting horse!

L'Emprise de l'Escu Gules

Nice web page!

Leo Medii

That said, don't let one person's negative comments dissuade you from participating in SCA Equestrian. I'm finding that it isn't the negative comments about horse size. Most SCA EQ folks I've met don't care about the horse size. It seems to an outsider (and former professional jouster) that the rul...

Leo Medii

You know, my retainer looks like a Klingon Warship! Fire Photon torpedos! Pew, pew! This is dang funny! I was talking to Steve Dean about knights tale, and were with a bunch of people bashing it for the modern music, clothes and everything. We were trying to explain to them that the movie was mostl...

"A Knight's Tale"

Am I the only person on earth who loved this movie, and thought it accomplished its goal admirably?

Leo Medii

Jeff, have you used the rubber coronels, or do you have a cap on those lances?
I've been using the regular NRGA closet rod with a balsa tip that's about 12 inches long, but am way more interested in they lances you are using.

Leo Medii

Wow. I guess I need to change from telling people that shots were good when they don't think they are to they aren't good when they think they are.

Leo Medii

and my fantastic wife Gwen had them painted by the Crescent's Herald, our mate Adam desForges, as a surprise 10th anniversary gift to me.

Wow. Those are awesome.

I'm guessing they hold up well to the balsa wood tilting?

Leo Medii

Like most rednecks...I gotz guns. This one is the oldest, and only one that winds up!
Gunpowder is so much fun.

Leo Medii

Oh, can you make a small kite like your old one that Sasha has?

Leo Medii

A real man's one. Like 16 across and 18-19 down. Or smaller, like some of the brasses with the small heaters on them?
Trying to go straight real period.

My lady might be interested as well. She's using a 24X28 heater, but that's HUGE!

Leo Medii

If zugislander doesn't want it I'll contact you tomorrow.

Leo Medii

"if you build it, they will come". that's some dang good advice Gwen! And, Steve can come by any time, he was supposed to contact me after Pennsic, but it's in that post-Pennsic slowdown here in MI, and things drop off for a couple of months usually. My ponies are push button for the most part. One...

Got some pictures-

Leo Medii

Hey Vitus, what's the wait time on a shield right now?

Leo Medii

I am also interested in learning how other groups do their jousting, and would love to be able to joust against somebody other than my wife!?.. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I keep trying to break into SCA equestrain, but we don't have a horse trailer, and we are at the mercy of other SCA equestrain...

Leo Medii

Wow jeff. I hope at some point you can offer those lances on your site for sale!

Leo Medii

Hey, if you pick it up you can get it for the price posted.

However, after seeing one on gunbroker.com for well over 1K I'm going to try there next.

Guess I should have checked what the going rate was on one.

Leo Medii

I'd like to sell a German style Wheelock pistol I purchased for use when I was a jouster, and it's been a wall ornament ever since. I purchased it from Syke's Sutlery and paid 650 for it many years ago (95 I think). It has been shot a lot (just powder, never a ball), but still looks good and shoots....

Leo Medii

CHABA!

Nice, but the AAA one was about 240$ US a couple years back, and 500+ is way out of these guys price range for a "dsiplay" weapon for guard duty once a year and LH demo's.

Leo Medii

What I wouldn't give to actually MAKE money hitting people with a sword.......

Wheelock needs new home
