Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Jousting at Hever Castle, Kent (12) The jousting over, the Knights depart from the lists. Note the action of the horse in the foreground. These horses are capable of performing tight turns at speed. Note the following extract:

"In medieval times the best horses in the world came from Spain and Portugal. Today we use the same breed of horses in our shows, Andalusians and Lusitanos.

The riding and training of these horses has changed little over the past 7-800 years and our modern jousting horses are able to perform what is known today as 'high school' dressage to demonstrate their gymnastic qualities and the skills they were trained to use in mediaeval warfare."

The overall entertainment at Hever Castle was excellent, and suitable for families with children of all ages. Other dates are listed on the website link (below).
