Interested in Roman Riding?

[John Conyard]

Mark does deserve a massive amount of credit for making this armour, and making it work on his horse. And for training the horse so well. It is a brilliant working combination.

On such a sunny day the reflection from the scales made it hard work to look at the armour. Mark polishes it and doesn't like using it in the rain so it stays bright.

For this weekend I have a big brave well muscled animal to ride, and intend to barge Mark and his armour out of the way at every opportunity. My training spear is a good 9 feet long and very heavy, so I will be modifying his helmet as well. :-) In truth we will have to be careful, since the speed and weight of horse could mean that we really hurt each other. The displays are not competitive at all.....:wink:
