Phoebus was back at the SA Medieval Fair this year. Instead of a joust, we did a Kolbenturnier, a.k.a. Club Tournament. More pictures from this event can be found in albums thanks to Inquisitive Images. Aside from the Kolbenturnier, we did a skill at arms demo. We had excellent weather and the shows were well received.

It has been a busy few weeks of preparation, not just to get the horses ready, but also finalising new gear including caparisons, crests and helmet mantles.

The week before, we also participated in the Anzac Day parade at Ballan, as part of the Ballan Light Horse Troop. It was a very wet event, but well worth it.

A couple of screen grabs from a video of yesterday's session ( unfortunately, the phone was set up badly and a lot of what we did was off screen).

Among other things, we played with canter pirouettes and he gave me some nice moves. He made me laugh again when he decided to offer me Spanish walk during a walk pirouette. We had fun.

Phoebus with a fancy bridle that arrived today. The saddle doesn't match, but it still looks good and it was what I wanted to ride in this evening.
