• Medieval Jousting Experience (from Red Letter Days)
  Life during medieval times may have been grubby, brutal and plague-ridden, but they knew how to have fun. You'll start off with a riding assessment, an overview of the equipment and an introduction to the history of jousting. Then you'll take part in various activities on and off your horse, all originally rooted in learning the art of war, including neck reining and learning how to use a flag, lance and shield. Then practise with your lance on the formidable quintaine, a spinning target. After lunch you'll learn a choreographed fight sequence, including broad sword or quarterstaff fighting, before dressing in medieval costume and putting all you've learnt into action during a tournament. The day will end with the presentation of certificates.... see more details and buy online
