Horse Power
"I will not change my horse
with any that treads but on four pasterns. Ça, ha! He bounds from the
earth as if his entrails were hairs: le cheval volant, the Pegasus, qui
a les narines de feu! When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots
the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is
more musical than the pipe of Hermes."
Henry V (3.7.9)
The value of a knight can be measured by the mount he or she rides. With the Seattle Knights, we are fortunate to work with several magnificent animals who are the true power -- the real stars -- of the show. All have undergone extensive training; few horses are capable of doing the joust -- it takes a combination of spirit, aggression, and passion to thrive under the intensity. We feel blessed to have horses who love the joust as much as their riders do.
