The St Georges Joust at Cressing Temple 2008 Review

Once again the brave knights of Horses Impossible took to the field in a daring display of trick riding, jousting and hand to hand combat. The evil Sir Odious resplendent in his black and red regalia took every opportunity to cheat and beat up his rivals. He especially had it in for Sir Lancelot the Ladies Favourite who he threw around like a rag doll.

My Lady compere tried in vain to reconcile their differences until Sir Odious turned his attentions, in the form of a flaming ball and chain, to Sir Richard Taylor. The other knights, Fabio Lambourghini, Manuel San Miguel, John-Paul Pierre Cardin could only look on in wonder as they took axe and flame to each other.

A brilliant spectacle and fabulous horsemanship. Hurrah for St George!
