Dame Jaclyn Jousting Throwback!

Published on 4 February 2025 at 10:48

One of the most common questions we are asked is how to train a horse to joust. The answer? Very carefully.

Just like any other equine discipline, how new experiences are introduced to horses can greatly impact their comfort level, engagement, and enjoyment. In our experience, horses should always be given the chance to experience jousting and medieval games in an environment that emphasizes trust and moves at the pace set by the horse. When done correctly, ponies not only become confident war horses, but we joyfully witness them actively embracing their new roles and having fun participating in the sport!
