It was indeed very cool. Mounted Combat is in Experimental phase. It was introduced last year and is only being practiced in the southern states. Those who participated in the demo at Gulf Wars asked for permission to demo a mounted melee. After observing their practice run the evening before, I was happy to grant them permission to proceed with their demo. All who participated, human and horse alike, were well practiced and experienced. The demo went off very well. 

We Artemisians can do it too. Just need willing fighters to learn how to ride and willing riders to learn how to fight. (Note: it takes more riding lessons than it takes fighting lessons) Once you're trained you go through a long authorization process. Horses better be ready for it too, plus use protective head and eye wear. Some of the horses in the demo have been doing this for about 10 years in the American Civil War group. 

Anyone interested in getting started check out the rules at:

Anyone interested in getting authorized see me. I'd be most happy to fan the flame in my own kingdom. :-)
