Armored riders and jousting scheduled Saturday at Midway University Equine Center

Midway goes medieval Saturday, with armor and jousting. Yes, real jousting, says the Midway Horse Association, a student organization of Midway University, which is co-sponsoring a day-long program at the school's Equestrian Center, ending at 3 p.m. with "full-contact jousting."

The day begins at 9 a.m. with an informational clinic from The International Series, which calls itself "the world’s first invitational mounted martial equestrian games series."

The riders will don armor at 2 p.m., with a question-and-answer session, followed by the jousting.

"The show is family friendly and appropriate for all ages," the organizers say. Admission is free.
