Uhh... wow!

I don't often toot my own horn. I consider myself to be a fairly humble guy. Paragon Jousting did a show in Salem, CT on Saturday and I rode as Master of the List. A guy I talked to for a while sent me a picture he took and commented "Thought you might enjoy this picture (although I’m sure you might already have a lot that look similar...)".

First, let me say, "No, I have NO pictures like this of me." and "Yes, I did enjoy this picture." This may be the best picture of me on horseback (or possibly even off) I've ever seen. Really, I have to credit the photographer for that.

I wish we had horse in the SCA in Australia. It does so look so pretty in garb.

I'm not involved in the SCA. But I know a lot of people who are. I perform with a joust troupe. Horses do add an amazing piece to any show. People just love them. They're fantastic animals.

I agree.Yes I read that you were not in the SCA. It seems there are so many more opportunities there in the U.S. We have mostly SCA and a few metal weapons groups but nothing in the same scale as your renaissance faires.

Excellent shot, AND with good form. Your leg and heel are exactly where they're supposed to be.

That's the part I usually hate about pictures of me and Leaps. Invariably, I'm either leaning forward, my heel has popped up, or something.

Thanks! Every other picture I have of me on horseback looks awful for one reason or another. This is the first one I've seen where I look like I know what I'm doing. :)

Hey, that is a pretty sweet picture. You should see if you can get that on your license or something...

I pulled it out of the moth balls. I had that made for the 2003 MERF when I payed the Duke of Parma. It was made by Designs by J.
