The Winged Hussar Horse Shows

Royal Armouries is proud to present a spectacular horse show, featuring the Winged Hussars, a crack team of fast-riding, sabre-rattling cavalrymen from Poland. The show will feature the traditional uniforms and military skills of the Winged Hussars, who were considered to be the elite of the 17th-century Polish cavalry. It will include displays of mounted drill exercises showcasing the horsemen’s skills with sabres, lances and pistols. We are particularly pleased to welcome back to Leeds Jarek Struczyński who is well known to tournament fans, as he won the team trophy at the Royal Armouries Easter Tournament in 2016. As our own Knight-in-Residence Andy Deane commented ‘these guys ride their horses so fast you’d think they’d stolen them!’
