"I am often asked what Jousting feels like. Can you imagine sitting in a position awkward to natural balance, adding fifty-plus pounds of weight to yourself, while holding a metal garbage can lid in front of you, and having it hit by a swinging sledge hammer?. OK you got it! Then try adding the task of directing a 1,200 pound Draft horse in the midst of all this." (Continued below.) |

"Warhorse into start position, focus begins, pulse starts racing as the adrenaline naturally takes over. Breath control takes place as the feeling of claustrophobia wants to win over concentration while peering through narrow eye slits of the helmet. Concern comes into place that all will be on target. Then the physical task of attaining balance with all equipment, as the Warhorse suddenly charges forward with dynamic powerful force. A force that has been bred into them for hundreds of years. Finding the best target within a matter of seconds. Tensing the body to absorb the hit. Finally the thought of appreciation while still holding the seated position. Whew!" Cynthia Morrison |
