I also enjoyed your links as well, though the Destrier link brought me to a question which might be more properly addressed in the equestrian forum:

I notice that in the photo gallery they have riders slicing cabbages from posts. I have not found a Western European training reference for this activity prior to the development of the British Cavalry gymkhanas of the 19th century. If anyone knows of one, could they point me toward a reference? I have seen it done at Renn Faires, SCA type events and such. It's a great test of skill and wonderfully splashy when you have spectators but I would like to be able to prove it was done, mostly for my own peace of mind

Any pointers would be appreciated, thank you.
