​​Often asked... When did you get medieval?
In 1994 I was introduced to Dameon (now former) Director & Founder of a Stage Combat & Theatrical Joust troupe and soon became a Mounted Knight & Fighter for The Seattle Knights soon after they had formed. Choreographed fights and scripted outcomes, far from the Equestrian or Athletic Sports I'd competed in previously, but after many years of Showing, Gaming, etc...
Horsemanship with medieval flavor was the challenge I was looking for and my Medieval journey began.​​​​
I started as a Mounted Games rider first, and soon worked into Theatrical Jousting, all the while training hard and attending the Seattle Knights Stage Combat Training Academy graduating all levels.
A decade of training and show experience that benefited my medieval work on & off horse, never thought I'd fall in love with combat off horse... but over time I did.

My modern medieval equestrian lifestyle grew on my husband (the best personal squire and fight partner)
and our sons, in the years since moving on from the Seattle Knights together we've been founding members of two other Medieval Equestrian teams and members of another before starting Knightly Ventures.
Our family has continued Breeding, Training and Campaigning Friesian and Draft Destriers to current day.
Theatrical jousting & choreographed fighting transcended into medieval skills at arms & tournament jousting.
We continue to train for multiple styles, doing the homework all the while seeking to build skill and continue our education.
Our sons, born with reins and sword in hand have grown up... better than ever with a bow, still amazing with swords, squiring and horse support, but they grow up too fast... Enjoy 'em whilst you've got 'em.

Often asked... How long have I been working with horses?
​I've been competing horses since I was 8 years old, 45 years now. Born into a family of horseman, thrown on everything from gentle giants to naughty ponies.
Show barns and breeding farms, all the amazing mentors and horses that taught me so much, those moments in time benefit me to this day and fuel passion.
