A milestone reached
Oct. 13th, 2009 06:29 pmSaturday night, I was made a Knight of Paragon Jousting.
My very first journal entry was about my first time on a horse. November 11, 2002. It was my first step to becoming a jouster. I've ridden a lot of horses since that time and I've been in a lot of shows. September 27, 2009 I finally took part in my first joust in front of an audience and October 3, 2009 I broke my first lance. October 10, I received my spurs[1]. It took 6 years and 11 months but I've done it.
Thanks go out to everyone who was a part of this along the way.
[1] You receive your spurs as part of the knighting ceremony. You also kneel in a pile of horse crap from the horse that took you into battle. Fresh... still steaming... slightly wet. Yuck.
