Tournament of Knights done...

Well the event is over and it went really well. As anytime you work with animals, there are always those moments that require improvising. Today was no exception. Lady Nightmare, while looking beautiful in her yellow blanket, had a moment. LOL. The first show went well and in the second show she decided that she would not charge my husband standing holding a shield. She has such wonderful manners and she just would not 'hurt' someone...so halfway down the run she put on the brakes, did some side prancing and said "Nope...not gonna do it". LOL.

Now we focus on the big 2-day event in August. Live steel sword fighting, spear fighting, archery, horseback archery and 12 Knights from 4 states jousting it out for a cash prize. Well, I can think of worse ways to spend my birthday other than on horseback. Sounds good to me.

I am exhausted and going to sleep...more later...
