Did you know that jousting is a sport? I thought it was fighting. To joust, you need a sword, axe, horse, and most importantly, a lance. A player uses the lance and points it at the opponent. He charges at the opponent. If the lance shatters, the player pulls out a different weapon.

There are also two kinds of horses for jousting. I thought there was only one kind. Warmblood horses are called Chargers. Chargers are quick and full of energy but weak. Coldblood horses are called Destriers. Destriers are slow but strong. The horses have grooms that groom them in their own tents right before a match.

The lance is very important. In a normal joust, the lance is made of simple wood. Lances are meant to shatter. Lance are oak if it is an official match.
