This is a really fun site!!! Be sure to turn on your speakers and check out all the links! = dpeq.com/  The Diamond P Equestrian Center is located on the edge of the city of Longview in the piney woods of East Texas.  We offer a complete training facility for medieval gaming.  Bobbie Patterson (trainer) has over 30 years of riding experience. Her varied background ranges from work at a veterinary clinic, breeding farm, and race track to barrel racing, and English and Western show riding. Bobbie uses a combination of riding disciplines and training techniques to create a horse that is athletic, eager to compete, easy to ride, and calm under extreme conditions.  Medieval gaming requires athleticism and poise amidst the chaos of competition. These traits are not exclusive to any particular breed. Most horses are potential competitors. A 15 hand minimum height is necessary to be compatible with the size of the gaming apparatus.  Horses are trained how to perform in both Tilting and Skill-At-Arms. The Tilt Tilting is the most widely recognized event in the joust. Two knights advance against each other with a lance and attempt to score points by striking the other. The Tilt has both light and heavy events. The object of light jousting is to strike a clean blow to the opponents shield. The object of heavy jousting is to strike a clean blow directly to the other knight. Skill - At - Arms Horses are trained in Rings, Spear, Quintain, and Saracen's head. These events are rooted in medieval combat.  Quintain The Quintain is an apparatus for practicing the Tilt. It is a target mounted on a pole that spins when struck by a lance. The Quintain event is scored by counting the number of rotations after the strike.

You just gotta love a club that puts this on their website... "Treasurer: Whichever officer takes the money". ;D www.tamug.edu/fencing/The sad thing is, I beleive that club is no more. Allan Rogstad a.k.a. "Frog" Fenced at two clubs I fence at (Clear lake and Galveston) and now fences at Alliance Fencing Academy in Houston. He was the driving force behind organizing the Texas A&M - Galveston club. For a time the Galveston Fencing Club had hoped to have some friends and competitors on the island for some friendly local rivalries and joint efforts. Unfortunately some who started as enthusiastic faded away as they saw success required some work. Others insisted on unsafe horseplay (kendo shinai WITHOUT masks) and left in ahuff when he tried to correct them. Still, it existed for a time and those of us in the Galveston Fencing CLub hope Texas A&M's Galveston Campus might host another club in the near future. |
