Ring Riding

We went to the Ring Riding again today.It is a popular thing around here and lasts from friday until sunday or monday.Friday we went to the parade and then to the US Army concert.The concerts are free and held all over downtown.They had bagpipe concerts and many other marching bands.We went on the fair grounds today and saw the riding and some concerts and they had a free area for kids to play.Mack did a military obstacle course( I was home getting Stinky a bottle) and did not get any pics.Stinky loved the trampoline and if you are really bored and want to see more pics they are

Ring Riding is a form of jousting ( in joust (medieval sport) )

...and the joust took place at tournaments, and in the 15th century the joust tended to supersede the mêlée. Jousting fell from favour by the beginning of the 16th century. Tilting, or riding, at the rings is a form of jousting in which the horseman rides at full gallop and inserts his lance through small metal rings.
This horse is pretty according to Mack...it looks nothing like her horse but she likes it.
