Our Passion is Renaissance — Bringing History to Life on Horseback

Step into the world of knights, warhorses, and the thundering heart of the Renaissance.

Knightly Ventures delivers living history through exhilarating mounted Skills-at-Arms,  Jousting shows, and immersive medieval entertainment. 

From the clash of lances to the prowess of warhorses, we bring chivalric tradition to life across Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana — and beyond.

 

With over 30 years of armor, horses, and craft, we specialize in producing unforgettable experiences for Renaissance Faires, festivals, and private events of any scale. 

Whether you seek a grand spectacle of knights in shining armor or an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the heart of the warhorse,

Knightly Ventures offers customizable, unscripted performances that honor your vision and thrill you and your audience.
 

Whether for an individual, private event, local fair or a multi-day event, Knightly Ventures is ready to ride —

with a core team of knights, warhorses, marshals and squires, and a trusted network of seasoned medieval horsemen from across the region. 

We are Knights for Hire, dedicated to delivering an authentic, safe, and awe-inspiring medieval experience for audiences of all ages.

​​Often we are asked: Who are our photographers

The photos on our website are a culmination of many with camera in hand over decades...

We enjoy capturing medieval moments, but not always can we have camera in hand or a camera man on hand...

At a Tournament in 2017 I met a reporter/photographer, I answered questions then asked if she'd like to see through the eyes of a Knight and put her in my helm,

in 2018 same but I added chainmaille as well, in 2019 same but this time but her on my horse a well and asked if I could snap a photo...

A captured her Medieval moment for her (which ended up in the paper... the photographer being photographed ; ) she dug our medieval thang and a friendship was born over time...

Long story short, we've been blessed not only with a wizard of photography, but also a dear friend. Thank you Kat (K.S. Brooks) for all you do!
