[MOC] Ring stabbing in the 21th century

[KlaasK]

Earlier this week I built a sort of medieval ring stitch tableau, but I thought: it should also be possible as it is still held today.

On unsaddled farm horses, the rider tries to stab through the ring with a short lance. The ring gets smaller after each round. Whoever stabs the most rings is the winner.

It is a fun Zeeland tradition that people love to come and watch.

 

Nice news: in our town of Tholen in Zeeland, ring stabbing is being organised again this year for the King's Day celebrations, after it was stopped in the years around the corona epidemic.
