Interested in Roman Riding?

Well, to be honest, I think Olga did a wonderful job last Saterday. She is not yet used to heavy helmets, and this was (apart from some short 'testing') the first time she was using that facemask helmet. As it was filming this means she had it 2 hot hours long on her head and had to do gallop after gallop. I'm used to these helmets, but I'm not sure I would have done as fine. At least 2 hours seems to be a good introduction to using masked helmets

Once more I'm convinced these are combat helmets for sure!

Anyway, I now have to get making more saddles as this got some more people interested and we need new and better ones. Anyway, much more to come in due course. First I've to do some more work on the cataphract horse armour from Dura and 1st century harnass fittings.
