Looking very good with a nice-looking calm horse. Excellent!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

My horse on his first 'public training' last week in Museumpark Orientalis, Netherlands. He did very well and did enjoy the kids padding him. Smile

Sadly my new horse wont like the patting bit! Too much of a warhorse... :wink:

Jurjen.
Things are looking really good and your horse looks very cute to the children but I have to say I do like the helmet your wearing.

Oh dear - I hope it is repairable! The bridle would look ok even if you just took the noseband off; your pony doe not seem to need it)

(And for anyone wondering why I mention it, the one in the picture is a modern, flash noseband without the extra attachment. I am trying to get Corinium Museum in the UK to change the one they have on their cavalryman model!!)

Some of tis time away was spent time traveling, sorting out some nasty people!

It was a dirty job, but was accomplished successfully!

Irregular batavian auxilia. The helmet is based on a local find from Krefeld-Gellep (germany) of a 'pimped' imperial gallic helmet.

Yes Atius, we represent the Batavian Auxillia, who originated from the Rhine region of what is now the Netherlands.
Thanks Jurjen, Great stuff on he cavalry photos. When are you going to ride in the new helmet?
I'm still waiting on mine. 8-)

Why without the mask? Visibility issues? Or fit?
