The Knights of Medieval Times are highly trained in the use of many weapons! Donning iron clad armor and wielding the most advanced weaponry of the Middle Ages, these knights will have to call upon all of their training, bravery and their gallant steeds to win the tournament and preserve peace in the kingdom.
The art of dressage comes to life in our Castle! Outside of learning to lunge, sprint and stay focused during the heat of battle, our horses are also masters of the dance, performing graceful and fluid leaps and promenades in unison. This activity is known as “dressage,” which has ancient European origins. Sometimes referred to as “horse ballet,” it is a training style that plays off a horse’s natural athletic ability and willingness to perform.
During the tournament you will also be able to experience the sport of Kings, Falconry. Patience. Trust. Caution. The Royal Falconer must embody all of these traits along with a true feeling for nature, being able to understand the mind of a wild animal like the fierce falcon. The cheers of the crowd inspire not only the falconer, but the falcon, as well. Stop by our castles’ mews to take a closer look at these majestic birds. The Royal Falconer takes pride in talking to the King’s guests about how the art of falconry pre-dates the Middles Ages and has played an important role in the survival of both man and bird.
