Ep. 86 Steve Hemphill, Jouster and Medieval Events
I’m especially proud of this episode. First of all, Steve Hemphill is an acomplished horseman in his own right and has won tournaments in jousting and taught all over the world. He’s even done comentary for television on the topic. Secondly, this episode is completely the result of my youngest son, Colt. He saw a youtube video of Steve (linked below) and thought he’d make a cool guest for the podcast. He asked me if I’d have him on and I made it conditional on Colt reaching out to him, asking him, setting things up, and being my co-host.
Steve Hemphill has produced and competed in a number of medieval equestrian events around the world which showcased competitive jousting and other medieval equestrian sports. He has won multiple individual and team titles in Jousting, Melee, and Skill at Arms in the US, Canada, France, England, and Denmark including a two time recipient of “The Most Chivalrous” award at the European Championships at Spottrup, Denmark.
Steve is also a member of the Board of Representatives (the governing body) of the International Jousting League and a level 4 Jouster with the International Jousting Association. He is the owner of a’Plaissance, Ltd., and the executive producer of “Lysts on the Lake”, the largest competitive jousting tournament in the world. He’s also been dubbed “The Texas Jousting Guru” by Fox Sports Australia for his part in their broadcasts as a Jousting Commentator.
