Picture a Day - Brave to Be a Knight!

in Picture A Day3 months ago (edited)

Last week I visited another historic-military festival, and look, boys!!! I stumbled upon an amazing scene there: little kids (both boys and girls, lol) were given an opportunity to put themselves into a knight's shoes, (speaking figurally, ofc): the longspear, the wooden horse, and the target to hit at full gallop. The "full gallop" of the wheeled horse was provided by a specially trained assistant, as you can see in the photo below.

I still can't stop myself from laughing like a horse, looking at this pic. And what do you think about it?

Nice. I wonder how many gold coins he has in the little pouch hanging from his waist. 😜

Maybe none - thats a poor knight! He havent run enough bandid reids to obtain rich trofeys (yet).

Nice shot! That kid was a lot of fun. Nice that you are able to get pictures without parents going crazy when you do...

Festivals and playing grounds are a good spot for that, one can easily go unnoticed in this human bustle, vanity fair... especially if he has equipped a telephoto lens 😜 lets share some Hive !PIZZA, and my congratulations with October's #hpud 🙏

Must be fun to ride the horse like that nowadays, but during the meidieval age, it might be scary.
Great shots my friend.
