I have the weekend off of work and finally some time to spend with my man!
Tonight we spent 3 exciting (albeit freezing) hours watching an unscripted, un-choreographed event of full contact jousting. It was the most exhilarating event! The horses were so calm, and the riders were very conscientious of their horses and worked with them to put on a stunning performance.
If you ever have a chance to see a "Knights of Valour" show, I suggest you do. The horses are all rescued draft horses. They do a wonderful job of explaining the back story of the horses and their bonds with their riders. There was even a bit of falconry that taught the viewers about birds and the art of falconry. It was educational and thrilling. I was jumping up and down on the bench, screaming for the riders!
It was a wonderful night!
Tomorrow we have an exciting day visiting friends that we've been looking forward to, and then a family thing we're going to on Sunday. Maybe we'll even have more time off on Monday!
So many things to do, so many things to see, and so much excitement ahead!
