Karl Ude-Martinez: A Knight to Remember - From Jousting to Polo to Acting

Firstly - we have a big announcement! Our fabulous partners Royal International Horse Show are bringing us an eventing extravaganza at this December's show - with our very own Pippa as the Ambassador - so mark Friday the 18th in all your diaries now! More details to follow. This week we're joined by the multi-talented Karl Ude-Martinez, founder of The Knights of Middle England. Karl has had one of the most unusual and exciting careers in the horse world, spanning acting, international polo commentary, stunt riding, and professional jousting. Karl shares the story of his "baptism of fire" as a teenage knight at Warwick Castle, how he balances the precision of polo with the chaos of the jousting arena, and his deep belief in the transformative power of horses. He shares the realities of performing at speed in full armour, the trust required between horse and rider and some unforgettable stories from a career spent entertaining crowds both in and out of the saddle. 🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!
