He said, “the first thing i look for is temperament, not breed. We only use geldings and i want an ‘alpha’ [horse] in the herd – one that is brave and is not eas - ily rattled. the horse is a prey animal and his instinct is to run away from something loud and crashing behind him. We work in small increments, starting with flags, both on the ground and carrying one, and then introduce the horse to a lance. We may work with a horse for a full year and then find that he cannot be ridden in armor.” the three jousting demonstrations done each day at the renaissance Faire were done in increments of difficulty and ran - cor. the first was a jousting skill demon - stration, in which the squires hold up rings of different sizes and the knights pierce the rings with a lance at a gallop. next, the knights charge a Quintain, a pole mounted pivoting shield with a weight suspended on the opposite end, which is struck with a lance at a gallop. When the shield is hit, the weight rotates and swings back at the knight. Sword skills are demonstrated by plac - ing heads of cabbage on poles. theses heads are “decapitated” with a single swath from horseback at speed. the poles are so close to the audience that they are pelted with the cabbage. the second of the day’s demonstration was a Joust of peace where the skills are ramped up a notch. the crest and baton competition is a sword skill where a plas - ter of paris crest is attached to the top of the helm. the object is to knock the crest off of the opponent’s helm for a score of 3 points. then the real jousting starts! the knights charge each other in full armor, with shields and lances. a solid strike gets 1 point; a broken lance gets 3 points. Scott said that the company will break as many as 60 lance tips in one weekend. the third competition of the day is a Joust of War. this, in medieval times, was a fight to the death. the crowed is played up, jeering and shouting, and the acting gets pretty dramatic, but everyone loves it. the paragon of Jousting puts on a great show! 8.
