Mount

Stephanie lost her first horse, "Shady Lady" in 2006, at the respectable age of 24-year-old, after a good and full life. Following a two-year retirement, Shady succumbed to old age and arthritis. Happily, Stephanie still has Shady's daughter, a 5-year-old Freisian-cross, "Shades of Honour", who joust started jousting last year. She's fearless. (The horse, that is,,,)

Biography

Jordan is an IJA Level 3 Jouster, who also played in the former WCJA (as a Light Armour Jouster and Squire) and still occasionally plays in the SCA (as a jouster, Court Baron, Squire and Kingdom Marshal of Horse, Ealdormere). Despite competing in Canada, the USA, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden, he's not a very good jouster, because he spends to much time doing other things: armoured ground combat, fencing, ground archery, horseback archery, eating, drinking, socializing, etc. To make a living (because his hobbies are very expensive), he is a project manager for Canada's largest hard goods retailer, Canadian Tire.

Along with Stephanie, Jordan has just purchased a small bit of land, where they are in the midst of setting up Cricket Lane Equestrian , a home base for their jousting and other equestrian pursuits.

Mount

Jordan's joust horse is Gloucestre, a 16.1 hand blue roan Trakhener/Breton/Thoroughbred cross. Gloucestre is 13 years old, with only 5 years under saddle. He still doesn't like jousting, but he's coming along well. The dressage lessons help. (Thanks, Uli.)

Jordan also has a little 14.2 hand 16-year-old chestnut quarter horse, named "Escapade" (but all his buddies call him "Spike"), who just loves the games. Spike is also our "stand-in" joust horse. A tad on the small side, he'll do anything you ask (whether he likes it or not), because he's a damn fine horse.

As Cricket Lane Equestrian, other horses are now coming and going in the joust horse string.
