Since our inception, and in the more than two decades of our existence, The New Riders of the Golden Age has been established as the premier jousting troupe in the country. Each year we perform from coast to coast for millions of people at Renaissance faires, state and county fairs, and special events.As performers in a show, we follow a script. The nature of the situation and its variables requires that we be open to improvisation. This allows us to keep the show fresh and alive for the audience as well as ourselves. The script sets the pace and gives a foundation to the excitement already existing from our energy.The lance passes are real. This is the culmination of our training and the training of the horses. It is the true test of our skill and focus and it is most certainly what keeps us coming back for more. Our lances are made of genuine solid pine right from the lumber yard. We make neither cuts nor scores on the wood to assist their breaking. So at 10 feet long with steeds at a full run, when the lances meet their target and splinter into pieces and/or one of the knights finds himself flying off the tail-end of the horse, that is when we and the audience truly find out what it means to be a knight.
