Regardless if he violated if a nondeclosure
when he was given the blueprints of the stable layout AND EVENT PLANNING FOR THE PARK. He even must have read it completely, along with the memo that I sent to Cliff about mistreatment of horses and how they should be treated. HAZZAH to Shane.
It has always been a tradition to send a
'ARIGENT BASTARD ALE' TO THE BEST IN SHOW
BUT WE DO NOT NOW WHERE TO SEND IT TO.
If anyone knows please contact
I was impressed at the way he handled him self on the show. I agree with the Shane at this point because when the guy hit Superman. The big horses Steel and Knight have bothe steped on my foot before and I am ony 5'1 and 130 pounds as to thier 17 hands and 2000lb. difference. All you have to do is either commely bend over pick up the hock to motion the horse to pick up the leg or give the horse a little nudge to get off your foot. I do agree that it hurts terribley, but horse people have high pain tolerance, even I recongnize that horses are very smart and are prone to anticks.
I agree that hitting them in the face is not at all exceptable and I would have slapped the crap out of him and threw him to the attorney for inhumane treatment.
It will mentaly harm the horse and and set back all the years of the training of the horse so they do not trust you. A rider horse relationship is very important. Well Met Shane and Rob!!
We do feel when he was given those plans at

Great job.
"When you hit each other with 11-foot solid lances, one of you could get killed, and that is a reality,” says Andrews, who, in addition to competing, also devotes his non-training time and finances to promoting the sport.
"This is my time to take professional jousting to the masses," he says.
"This is all or nothing. We will sell out arenas across the United States."
We want More!!
Watch the season premire

WELL CHARLIE!!!!
The knights' enthusiasm was already too great and the powers-to-be were forced to extend a grudging tolerance to the new sport.
There were three kinds of tournaments prior to the 17th Century:
MELEE' or TOURNEY PROPER - popular in the twelfth and thirteenth century. This form was the most brutal and costly in lives. All participants, upon hearing the charge, promptly crashed onto the tournament field and proceeded to unhorse all others by any method at hand until a winner was determined.
INDIVIDUAL JOUST - an encounter with lances between two knights. The rules were simple. If a combatant struck either rider or horse he was disqualified. A clean hit to the center or "boss" of the shield shattering the lance, or unseating the opponent scored points. A low partition wall separating contestants was introduced in about 1420 strictly as a measure to reduce injury to horses.
PRACTICE TOURNAMENT - Involved very little ceremony and few rules. Practice targets were provided by either a quintain or rings. The quintain was a wooden target mounted on a horizontal pole at which the knight aimed his lance. If the target was struck accurately, it would swing harmlessly aside; if struck off center, the weighted arm swung around with enough velocity to unseat the knight. The other form of jousting in the practice tournament was "riding at the rings", the surviving form of jousting with which we are most concerned. A ring was suspended on a cord, which was to be carried off on the tip of the knight's lance. Both the quintain and the ring joust were exercises that developed accuracy skills. These skills became increasingly important as individual jousts gained popularity.
The huge melee' tournament which had dominated the twelfth and most of the thirteenth centuries began to lose popularity as the small-scale joust emerged towards the end of the thirteenth century. Jousting came to be a sport where the correct physical co-ordination of horse and rider resulted in a safe but spectacular splintering of lances. The manipulation of a powerful horse and a heavy lance, complicated by the restricted movement and vision imposed by armor, was a skill acquired only with patient practice at such devices as the quintain and the ring.
Furthermore, it is probable that riding at the rings was perceived also as a display of chivalric romance. Winning knights were awarded customary "golden rings" along with kisses, in a formal and elaborate prize-giving ceremony by the ladies of the court, who had rapidly became central to the whole ideal of knighthood during the fourteenth century.
The ring tournament has survived the longest. Accounts of famous festivals during the sixteenth and seventeenth century, including King's Day in honor of James I during the 1600s in England, list at least nine festival occasions where "running at the rings" was featured. Knowledge of these affairs was carried to the colonies by English cavaliers and officers in the mid-seventeenth century.
