The competition was great! My husband ( Sir William the Black ) aka Scott won second place and he's only been riding for 2 months!! Huzzah!! The next event held at Four Winds will be the Celtic music Festival in September, I'll post more about that later but we will be riding again in CTRF in Bastrop TX July 20th & 21st.
Jousting!
I just wanted everyone to know that there will be a Joust out at Four Winds Faire June 6th and 7th! If you love authenticity, this is better than a show for it is a full- contact competition, not an act! I will be playing the games of accuracy for my armor is not yet finished ( Unlike you guys out there mine has to be specially made to fit me, they don't make fully opperational armor to fit women:), However there will be Knights in armor competing in the tilt as well. The gates open at 10am and there will be vendors, arts, crafts, food and fun for the little ones as well. Please come out and cheer us on as we re-create a historical competition!!
