THE TROUPE

In 1997, Shane Adams entered his first competitive tournament, the U.S. International Jousting Championships in Estes Park, Colorado. On a borrowed horse using unfamiliar equipment, he rose to the challenge and won the title. From one member in 1997 to over ten full-contact competitors in 2005, the Knights of Valour Troupe is growing and continues to be the premier full-contact jousting troupe in North America.
