The Devil’s Horsemen

The Devil’s Horsemen have over 70 horses, each highly trained in various stunts, and each with its own character and performance level.

 

They provide horses for all sorts of occasions, including many well-known films. At the Royal Cornwall they performed two separate and very different guises.

 

Cossack Trick Riding

 

The horsemanship of the Mongol Cavalry was the most effective in Military history.

 

Now these battle techniques have been transformed into acrobatics on horseback.

 

Riders need more than just physical fitness, gymnastic ability and a taste for danger - they have to have a willing accomplice in the form of a horse who enjoys tearing along a full gallop, while its rider is hanging at impossible angles from its back, vaulting, or even standing on the saddle!

 

Medieval Jousting

 

Care is taken that the techniques are historically correct and performed with the flair and with an abundance of stunts.

 

A mixture of lust and blood-curdling action, a spectacle not for the faint hearted. See the dashing hero, Harry Hotspur, battle with the villainous Black Knight for the hand of a fair maiden. Experience the din and clatter of medieval warfare as the team of feudal knights, squires and damsels knock 'seven bells' out of each for your personal entertainment.
