The aim isn't to knock your opponent off, and very few unhorsings happen during this kind of jousting, although it is possible.The chances of you hurting your horses mouth by falling off is very low, and the same risk applies to all sorts of equestrian sports.

surprise u can hold on to the reines, are u not worried about coming off and damaging the horses mouth? or are the lances cut so much as there is little to no chance of coming off?

Hi Freth25 - the armour was specially comissioned by the curator of Arms & Armour for the Wallace Collection, London and is based on an original armour in a museum in Germany so is totally authentic and cost £30, 000 to make this armour. Interesting to read the comments for this video, some of you guys know your history and some don't know shit!

check your history - tournaments were an integral part of a knight's training and also as entertainment throughout the medieval period!

Jousting is a sport and an entertainment for the rich and noble. It consists of martial competition between two mounted knights using a variety of weapons. Jousting was just one of a number of popular martial games in the Middle Ages referred to generically as hastiludes.Though the first recorded tournament was staged in 1066, jousting did not gain in widespread popularity until the 13th century. It maintained its status as a popular European sport until the early 17th century.
