I was at the one in Toronto. I forgot there is more than one.

I have been to the one in Schaumburg several times, and also the one in Florida! They are great fun! Be sure to get there early (before the show starts) so that you can look at the horses and enjoy the mini museum of Medieval artifacts!

I don't know how they treat the horses, but I am certain there are no problems. Just imagine what would happen if there was mistreatment and it leaked to the press!

I am sure young children would enjoy it.... as this "big kid" had a great time!

I looked at the Web site that Vermontcat suggested. It looks like Medieval Times is really good to their horses. They breed and raise them (Andalusian horses) on their own farm down in Texas- they don't hire someone else for that. They microchip them, too. Then the horses learn the skills they need and perform for a few years. When it is time to retire, back to the farm in Texas, and they resume taking care of the horses down there. I'll try to take pictures of them.

When I was in high school we took my grandmother to see the Tempel Lipizzan horses- I remember how strong and massive they were and how beautifully they moved.

Thank you, everyone!

I am so jealous, I wanted to go last month for my birthday, but I didn't. I think I'm long overdue to go!
