Would-be knights on horseback took part in Academie Duello's School of Modern Swordplay and mounted combat program, called Cavaliere Sunday at Red Colt Equestrian Farm Co-op in Steveston. The event, marking the school's 10th anniversary, had students try their hand at swinging a sword from a stationary position on a 'wooden mount' and then on the real thing as they were led around the arena. Instructors Chris Richardson and Jennifer Landels (right) of Academie Duello also had time to show their stuff. Photos by Gord Goble/Special to the News
