- I had the privledge of working with the fellows at Medieval Times. They were
- an important element of the 1991 Citrus Bowl Half Time Show. They were
- wonderful people with absolutely beautiful horses. They did bring their
- stallions along. I must admit those stallions were the most laid back animals
- I have ever seen. One of them had streamers in their face flapping around, but
- he just carried on in his duty. One thing that surprised me the most was the
- fact that the stallions were the only horses NOT drugged. I guess in something
- like this that was broadcasted IN FULL (I'm kinda proud about that!) the TV
- people didn't want a horsie flipping out.

- In the half time show, there was a sword fight "to win the hand of the
- beautiful princess." I got to see the swords up close and personal. They are
- not cheap nor flimsey. On of the knights told us the swords cost $750 each.
- Anyway, during the "fight" at half time, on of the knights struck suck a hard
- blow against the other's sword that he sliced it in two! He actually cut the
- top foot and a half off! (Just for the record, this was NOT planned.)
-
- Well, I do recommend going to Medieval Times if you are in Florida. It is a
- lot of fun, good food, and wonderful entertainment.
