Great pictures! As per usual Icaro and Coralito are having a little snooze after the performance whilst they meet the public!

On the @AttinghamTrust Study Programme we’ve been treated to a special performance from @HistEquitation showcasing William Cavendish’s seventeenth-century riding technique. Absolutely fascinating.

@HistoryExtra A great set-up,location & narrative can bring history to life for viewers. In an ever growing digital age it is too easy to replace these events with a model which lack the passion & camaraderie that re-enactments are built on. Bringing history to life for the next generation.

@HannahFlowerday We will have to get the team together and pop down with clear SD cards and bring blank sketch books with sharp pencils!! ⚔️🛡🐴

@HannahFlowerday That’s great! We love a good saddle!

@HannahFlowerday Because what we do is historically accurate we conduct research trips to study depictions of knights, their armour and their weapons. Depictions can be in the form of manuscripts and effigies but can appear on something as small as a seal! ⚔️🛡🐴 #KnightFever

@HannahFlowerday We would love that @HannahFlowerday ! ⚔️🛡

@GriffHistorical @Horses4History Fantastic!

@GriffHistorical @EnglishHeritage Almost looks like he has fluffy pony ears!! Doesnt fit the fearsome war horse he actually is...

#SneakPeak Stills from a video we are working on of #BattleOfHastings 2017

This is what it is like to look down a shield wall from a modern day war horse. You can tell Pericles loves his job!
