Im glad you have such a wide range of interests! I hope we can help.
Also, thank you for your service.

P.S. Can you tell us more about your hauberk?

--- End quote ---


My hauberk, though I may be referring to it wrong- is a dark nickel silver in the European 4 in 1 weave style. It's heavier than many maille jackets I've held or worn. It stretches down to myknees, but the sleeves are very short, almost vest-like. I got it from my father on my last birthday in order to substitute for another gift, as someone had gifted it to him and he didn't have use for it. I actually added it to my Greek panoply, which, along with my red tunic and black plate gave my outfit a kind of Roman Noble look (as some Roman nobles adopted the Corinthian helm just out of appreciation for the aesthetic, even though it was often the Italo-Corinthian style). I definitely think it's more fitting to use in a medieval setting.


Sir Edward, for as shy as horses are I find jousting horses to be an amazing spectacle. Their ability to completely disregard their inset nature is very intriguing to me. That's why I find the vision of myself on a dark and audacious stallion such a romantic prospect!

Sir Dimitry:
Stallions are a pain to deal with if you're not an experienced horseperson and even then most would rather deal with geldings.

Many factors go in training a horse to joust or for medieval games. Dressage is one of the best disciplines you can learn that equates to you and your horse becoming a single machine. I can tell you its very hard, and takes a long time. But the rewards are great.
