Scrimming Sam browne and 'OR' leather equiment. I have a new Webley Mk VI OR holster turning up. I was thinking I should cover it in hessian as I have in my mind this was done to cut down the chance of being spotted as an Officer or Senior NCO and being sniped out. I am sure in my mind that they did...

The problem we are finding in the BCA/ICA competitions is, that a lot of the mounted tests are not even on site. Also, those that are, but for the mounted skill at arms tests are horsemanship tests such as dressage, which unless you know what you are looking at, looks like a horse/horses going aroun...

I cannot see the photos

I do not think that the British Cavalry Association has mounted members in Ceredigion. It is a shame as I hold the same cavalry title as the 7th Lord Cardigan in my Unit. Mind you, lovely part of the word.

We have a few venue options. However the race leader thus far is Holdenby House, Northamptonshire.

British Cavalry Association International Open Cavalry Championships September 2016 The BCA will be holding its Cavalry Championships on the weekend of the 10th 11th of September next year. We are expecting teams from Germany, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Hungary Sweden, Russia, Canada and the USA T...

Easter is early this year which must make all events suspect and I wish all that are running the best of weather luck. As for me, I am going skiing with my family! lol. My first competiton is the Deutsche Kavaleriaverband international cavalry event at Gotha on the third weekend of April.

The Tudor Talbot which is supposed to be an extinct breed is in fact the 'Sluggi'. The Egyptian greyhound which was prized by nobles in the middle east. It is a sight hound. Is the only dog that the islamic Prophet said you could have in your tent. The knights of the crusade, brought them back with ...

New to this forum Read the whole of this thread with interest. Wonder how you guys missed the chap standing offset centre in Franz Hals' "Officers and Sergeants of the St Hadrian's Civic Guard." Now there is an interesting "foot" "sleeveless" buff coat. I cannot say th...

Friesian, 18 months ago, I took a team to the United States National Cavalry Competition. I had the same scenario with one of the team corning up my horse that didn't need it. Ended up being rolled on leaving me with losing the tip of one side of my hip, 2 broken ribs in my back a torn right lung a...

Friesian, In heavy work, oats are still fed. The trouble is in the UK we have so many companies supplying mixes, from simple non-heating mixes and cubes though to loyalty mixes, veteran mixes, old timers, and conditioners. Then we have additives, like blue chip, lo cal, outshine, etc. In the old day...

Friesian said: 'Also,besides the size of horse & what work it is doing daily it would depend on what time of year it is whether that is a 'good' ration. I would think anyone giving 14lbs of oats to a horse after a night on the spring grass might find that Dobbin has turned into Red Rum on blue s...

Thank you Steenie. At the risk of teaching granma to suck eggs, bear in mind that the Imperial measures most people grew up with, and relate to, were only finalised in the Weights and Measures Act of 1824 . Prior to then measurements can vary significantly. I can comfirm that the peck in question w...

The imperial system is based on 1 gallon of water weighing 1 peck (stone). Which means an imperial pint = 20 oz whereas the American system works on 1 pint = 1 pound hence their pint being 16 oz and their gallon being smaller. I have sat and thought about this peck of oats a day. Let us assume the h...

So where does that leave you if you have a russetted suit or gilded lol

Lord Essex turned up to a joust laid on by Liz 1 in 'armour sable black'. I can't say he fits to the image you have painted

German and Danish Lutheran priests where them. Can buy them off the shelf there

talking about genes, someone told me the ginger gene was from the neanderthal. Don't kill the messenger that is what I was told lol

I would think the Anglo bit of Anglo Saxon is blonde, as in The Angles. They still are. But without a doubt, the Saxons in Sachsen are just like you.

Gabardine didn't see the light of day until the late C19th. The fabric was invented by Burberry.

I will say what is more authentic than anything else in these photos and is hard to beat, is your blood stock. Complete Saxon. Your type can be seen walking the streets from Berlin to Leipzig. hair colour the lot.

Very laudable!

The Sieg Group is the sort of society you are looking for

In the mid eighties, my regiment (my Lord Saye and Seles's Blew Regiment of Foote), had two made and used to grace the field. The barrels were made by Barry Jakeman (peace be upon him) 1.25 inch bore. The reason why we re-introduced them onto the field, using the source of Wagner, was to stop my art...

Sean, I know the feeling. In the last National Competition in The United States, I got rolled on by a horse and ended up with broken ribs in my back, a torn right lung (caused by impact), lost the tip of my pelvic girdle on the right side and damaged the nerves on the right side of my face. Besides ...
