This included mounted skill-at-arms and mounted melee competitions, medieval foot combat displays, sword & buckler and long sword competitions, an archery display, a siege engine display and various displays of historical crafts and activities. <p> Food and refreshments were provided by our team of stall holders  some local and some from as far away as Auckland. We had had several craft stalls on display including <a href="http://www.kingofswords.co.nz/" target="_blank">King of Swords </a> who also sponsored all our prizes. Many of our stall holders have been supporting the event since it s inception in 2003 and we really appreciate their support. <p> The tournament aims to recreate the feel and atmosphere of a medieval tournament  the equivalent of today s big sporting events like the Super-15 and the main focus of the event is on mounted displays of skill-at-arms, melee and of course the big one - full on jousting between competitors wearing authentic replicas of medieval armour taking part in modern sports jousting that recreates as safely and as accurately as possible the jousting of the late medieval period. <p> This year we saw some fantastic action in the jousting and many people said the jousting this year as better than previous years  if that is possible. There where some huge lance breaks, some near falls but nobody was injured and all the horses performed magnificently. <p> Last but not least we would like to acknowledge Joe Lumsden and his Rough Riders horse stunt team. They provided a spectacular finale to the event on both days and really wowed the crowd with some fantastic displays of horsemanship. <p> A <b>DVD</b> of the event will be available for sale through this website shortly. <p> The next Harcourt Park Jousting Tournament is scheduled for <b>late January/early February 2013</b> which will also be the 10th anniversary of the event. But we will be doing a lot of shows and displays before then.
