Tent pegging (sometimes spelled "tentpegging" or "tent-pegging") is a cavalry sport of ancient origin, and is one of only ten equestrian disciplines officially recognised by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports. Used narrowly, the term refers to a specific mounted game with ground targets. More broadly, it refers to the entire class of mounted cavalry games involving edged weapons on horseback, for which the term "equestrian skill-at-arms" is also used. Essential rulesThe specific game of tent pegging has a mounted horseman riding at a gallop and using a sword or a lance to pierce, pick up, and carry away a small ground target (a symbolic tent peg) or a series of small ground targets. The broader class of tent pegging games also includes ring jousting (in which a galloping rider tries to pass the point of his weapon through a suspended ring); lemon sticking (in which the rider tries to stab or slice a lemon suspended from a cord or sitting on a platform); quintain tilting (in which the rider charges a mannequin mounted on a swivelling or rocking pedestal); and Parthian (i.e., mounted) archery. A given tent pegging competition's rules specify the size and composition of the target; the number of consecutive targets placed on a course; the dimensions and weight of the sword, lance, or bow; the minimum time in which a course must be covered; and the extent to which a target must be struck, cut, or carried.

Asked by Jamus Trip AM HO - Sun Jan 6 21:09:15 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Okay. Now here is my humble view. The Old Testament which includes the book of Judges is about God delivering the nation of Israel from their ungodly enemies...WHEN.. the people of Israel repented for their wrong doing and asked God for deliverance. God raised Godly people to do that for them. The Old Testament is a guide for us Christians today. If we allow some bad habit or evil to our spiritual welfare to dominate us. We have to ask God for deliverance of those things. And God will help us. God gives us the power to overcome some bad habits or weaknesses in life, and we allow him or he empowers us to overcome them.
