10/2/2012 19:25:22	Twilight7fire	I'm an expert horse rider and trainer. My specialities include tricktraining and other forms of show training, such as trickriding, stunt riding and working with horses & fire (or other 'scary' things). As far as horses go, I'm also an expert in the historical art of riding & mounted combat. I practice jousting, melee combat, rossfechten etc. on horseback. I have experience with several time periods and weaponry on horseback. My main areas of expertise are 15th century (Late Middle Ages) and late 18th/early 19th century (Napoleonic wars), but you can ask me about any sort of horse-related questions, from Antiquity up to modern day riding. Apart from mounted combat, I have a lot of general historical knowledge (comes with being a multi-period living history aficionado). I have some knowledge of historical martial arts (and definitely know people who know this stuff very well, so I can redirect your questions), loads of knowledge and experience with full plate armour and I know the inns&outs of everyday life of several historical eras. As a hobby I also practice historical cooking. I’m currently doing a Master in English literature, so I am reasonably knowledgeable about historical literature as well. Specialities include 19th century and 14/15th century literature. I am reasonably well informed about Old and Middle English and have some knowledge of medieval (Gothic) scripts & manuscripts. I have done some academic research on the history of werewolves and vampires, so you can ask me about that as well. Last but not least, I have a hobby interest in Western-European mythology and folklore.
