Been a while since I posted here. But I have been working away on stuff. Also put together some Roman Auxiliary Cavalry, complete with 4 horned saddle.
Couple of videos. One is of my new kopis.

Re: Ancient Greek/Scythian Equipment.
Lost all the original photos in this post. Doesn't matter, done a bit of an update to my kit since then. Made some new Scythian clothing. Based the pants on these 3000 year old pants. https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/100393201_10158464512669516_7527980606391582720_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_...

LOL. Practice, training, rinse and repeat.
Especially doing it all bareback. You really notice it if you have a few weeks off and get back on.

Re: Ancient Greek/Scythian Equipment.
My main interest in cavalry, so that means riding with nothing but a skin or saddle pad to ride on for this period.

Re: Jousting in the US
It was a fun weekend. Honestly the hardest I have ever been hit in a joust. Everyone that competed said the lances were the hardest they had used.
To compare and contrast the French joust I will be going to next June.

Frogmouth style helms that strap or bolt down take some practice to ride and joust in. You really need to be a very good and very confident jouster and rider before locking your head in place. Having a well trained horse is also a must. This is mine and it is 7.5mm thick in places and weighs in at 8...
