Two Wolfpack knights stole a horse from a meadow. But they do not have much experience riding a horse without a saddle. Therefore, they have hung two rings on a tree, through which they want to stab with the lance. Could they be the inventors of the Zeeland* tradition of ring stabbing? Races are still held there where unsaddled horses riders have to stab through a ring with a short lance. The ring gets smaller each subsequent round, and whoever is the last to stab the ring is the winner. An entry for a seed part challenge from Classic Castle *Zeeland: A province in the Netherlands where I am also a resident. :)

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.
