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.

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 head to you...

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.
