Julie.
If you have access to a rennosaunce festival, that'd be a great place to
take Monty and see how he does.

Tami,
Thanks!
Monty does very well with loud noises, so maybe I shouldn't worry so
much.
I'll see if I can find something remotely similar to take him to before
July
to see how he does.
When I went in 2008 we weren't that far back from the edge of the arena.
I
could easily hear the horses hooves and tell exactly where they were in
relation to each other. The moans, groans and screams do help a lot
with
figuring out that one of the knights got hit! LOL I did have to ask
which
one it was though.
I'm remembering that we walked past some of the horse stalls on the way
in
or out. I don't know what your vision is like, but maybe you see the
horses
better at that range when they are standing still?
And they give you a DVD of the whole thing to take home with you.
Julie
