Happy June

And Medieval Festival, continued










Hand-to-hand combat by knights…which ended up being mostly pushing.



Then all the children were invited down, armed with foam sticks, and told to fight for the fellow with the box - which ended up having gummy bears, which were distributed to victors…. at least until they ran out. 



Vicious little creatures, when in hordes. 




We were heading back, when I noticed….



Horses being outfitted. They hadn’t been there before. We decided to stay.





Note the saddles. These were all Iberian horses, and German riders. 



The horses were all beautiful, beautifully trained, with marvelous gaits. The riders knew what they were doing. 







There was a little humorous story developed, that led to a series of mounted contests, then a real joust with a broken lance, and …..of course……the girl winning, and bad knight defeated.

Then we had an hour and a half hike back, with a stop for supper. And sunburns.
