My husband has been a big fan of the Ren Fest. Anyone who read the Triology by J.R.R. Tolkien or is a fan of the movies would really be into this kind of thing. Animal rights groups? No one has been raising hell so far. The 'knights' are using wooden spears and swords and they have been doing it for years so I don't think that it would be dangerous to the horses. We still keep a distance though because those horses are huge! Hi Bill,

Didn't know that there are festivals like that. Do they also use spears like they do in the movies? Wala bang nagagalit na animal rights group? Paano kung matamaan ang mga kabayo? Wow.

Yes, I think they are still 50lbs. Thanks for reminding me of the tag :) . Hi Leah, Yes, we also have the Medieval Times here in Maryland, actually we are only 15 minutes away and we went there once. It's also good to go, I like the dancing palominos- beautiful horses too. I think we were not allowed to take pictures at the Medieval Times because it can spook the horses, it would have been a nice photo opp. Hi Megamom,

Although it is indoors. Outdoors is more fun I think. Plus you can get lots of great photos. This is exciting. And yes, the knights are hotties too!!! lol This is nice….we have a similar one here in Toronto called Medieval Times. Although it is indoors. Outdoors is more fun I think.

I think the ones they use for Renaissance Fest are already lighter fabrications (using aluminum and other lighter metals) of the originals, pero still at least another 50 lbs pa rin? Pang-macho talaga. Don't forget about your tag for your true-to-life knight in shining armor! ;) Do you know that these armors are really heavy?
