The Knights of Royal England

The Spectacular Knights of Royal England have the experience to offer you all manner of mediaeval en He is a very pretty horse, and he knows it.

In mediaeval times the best horses in the world came from Spain and Portugal. Today we use the same breed of horses in our shows, Andalusians and Lusitanos. Iberian horses are great to work with, sharp, agile, intelligent and very willing to work and show off. Our Horses
Marlon is the biggest of our horses, 16 hands and is a grey Lusitano gelding. He is very strong willed, and the rider has to be

clever to think up new interesting things for him to do so he does not get bored. Garbo is our newest horse, he is a black purebred Spanish Stallion. He is enjoying his time and new life in England, he's getting used to the weather, the jousting, the loud noises, flappy flags and of course the language, but he is picking up English quickly. He is very well behaved and his best friend is Domingo who has been showing him the ropes, he loves grass but is not so keen on the weather especially in the winter. Centuro (also known affectionately as Cheerio)- He is also a grey Andalusian Gelding, with a lot of character. He is a very laid back horse, very easy to handle, loves his food (rather too much) but is such a fidget that he never stands still when he is being ridden and burns off his excess weight very quickly. Very excitable and very bouncy like Pinki. Domingo, a grey Lusitano gelding, is the newest addition to the Jousters family. He took part in a few shows last season, but now he is here to stay! He is a very kind hearted animal who keeps the peace between the other horses when they get too excited! He is a very quick learner and preformed at Blenheim Palace 2015 like a he had been Jousting for as long as the other horses. Our Knights
Sir Jasper de Barry – Leader of the Red team, been jousting since he was a teenager, never short of something to say in the tournament and keeps the young knights on their toes. Sir Sam of Hever – Grew up around jousting and fights with Lord Ashley for control of the blue team. Recently re-knighted as Sir Sam of Hever, he is a very agile knight, a good fighter and not afraid of taking a hard hit. Lord Ashley of Hampshire – Another experienced young knight, very athletic and keen to show off his skills with the sword. Wears the horned helmet which the other knights enjoy trying to knock off his head often giving Ashley a severe head ache. Sir Paul of Anjou - having jousted from when he was a teenager, back in 1922, is an experienced knight, and is always happiest when he is riding. He has a particular soft side for the horses and in particular Domingo, his trusty steed. No one has solved the curious case of 'where he is comes from' .........yet, but all of us enjoy being there for the journey !
