Reenactment | Knight

A knight in shining armour, Dominic and his beautiful Friesian cross stallion Faraon.

Having someone in full steel-plated armor, mounted on a colossal horse, charging towards you at full tilt is quite the intimidating experience. Having felt the rumbling, thundering hooves and clanking metal plates, I can clearly see why, six centuries ago, these imposing juggernauts would have been a terrifying sight and sound on the medieval battlefield. Dominic aptly compared medieval knights to the battle tanks of their era. For those familiar, this also brings back fond memories of the pilot episode of Game of Thrones and the jousting tournament.
