Thanks for all your positive comments. I'm planning the next one of these. I think I'll concentrate on sword use from the saddle, horse positioning and cutting arcs.

Those horses are two of the most beautiful, well loved, and well trained horses I have ever seen, I love how much trust there is between horse and rider!

[robertlombardo]

I love that before you do anything test-related, your first step is "shall we have a cuppa tea?" Gave me a chuckle.

[Ama-Elaini]

Oh, this is the guy from Modern History TV!

[laney]

Jason Kingsley is living his best life :D

This is WONDERFUL. I mean, I'm a nerd, and haven't been on a horse in 17 years, and my main interest here is to make my descriptions in Dungeons & Dragons more authentic, but I am so glad you shared this.

"Have a cuppa tea, warm up..."
Britain is fuelled by tea.

I play a game called Mount & Blade Warband and my favourite class is light cavalry.

It's set in the early mediaeval period and the best part about it, is you can fight other people on multiplayer servers.

I always choose one handed sword and always get the most kills, however if I'm up against a heavily armoured player with a great Lance, I will die almost instantly if I'm on the recieving end of a charge.

However, I can kill them if they miss.

It's remarkable how much like reality that game is. But this video is absolutely fascinating stuff to see.

Here from Modern History TV. Absolutely obsessed with these kinds of videos! Amazing horsemanship on both your parts, and great overall content. Keep it up!

Finally found part one of the best series of videos I have ever watched on YouTube. Beautiful horses, medieval history intelligently researched and tested, live action that explains the truth of combat and not just shown for effect, a commentary that respects my own intelligence and even the music fits the action perfectly. Thank you, Jason

I'm currently writing a novel where I have sword fighting scenes on horseback and this is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for all the information and realistic depiction of a fight.

I found this channel because I was so intrigued by the medieval Knight series that I actually came here looking for more .your skills are amazing!

[avallonofglymmmere]

Thank you Arne Koets for being the living embodiment of excellent horsemanship.  You are by far the best rider I have ever had the honor of witnessing, hands down, barn none, anywhere, ever.  Again,  Thank You.

An excellent exposition of authentic mounted combat history, theory and practice. Would love to see more.

[bassemb]

I am very happy to find the beginnings of the excellent Modern History TV channel here, and to learn that its presenter is the CEO of the company that's developed some beloved games of mine, like AVP and Rogue Trooper.

[banananer]

I've praised Warlord a hundred times, but Arne's horse is absolutely stunning! The two of them are so in sync that it's a joy to watch. Would that I could one day have a hundredth of that skill on my horse.

[hanssmirnov]

Please make more!! This deserves a slot on the history channel or National Geographic.

[Friesian-qu]

Amazingly trained horses and very interesting content. Really enjoyed it.

[littlechris]

This is really interesting, it shows that the battles were a lot more dynamic than I learned about at school.

[TheRainblossoms]

Nice to hear from people who know the biodynamics of martial weapons coupled with horsemanship. Brilliant instructional video. This is where I want to be at someday.
Thanks for this video, please keep doing these if you have the time.
