Personally i do believe any horse can joust with the correct training and relationship with its rider. It;s getting the horse used to what its going to be doing in a way that suits them (for example: some kids underachieve in schools and are disruptive, doesn't necessarily mean they are thick in th...

Ok just my two-penneth, yes going to a riding school is good. Going to tournament stud and destrier are all very well. But be careful. Knowing how to ride will not necessarily mean you can then go off and joust. You horse (any horse) is the most important part, they are not just a vehicle, or a mea...

I made 18th century costumes for 2 wolves and some dogs for a film ("Company of Wolves"). It was a major disaster as far as I was concerned. S. OMFG THAT FILM WAS IMMENSE!!! Ok so many people think it wer crap but i loved it. I Especially marvelled at the beautiful costumes, so i bow my h...

Just thought i'd throw my two-penneth worth in here. Getting back onto the subject of foxtails, i too have seen all the references towards the foxtail-bumroll both for cleanliness purposes upon the lav and as a fashion statement in an almost bustle-esque type way. However i'm in torn about the foxt...
