The world's top female jouster

Outlook

Available for over a year

By profession Sarah Hay is a deputy head teacher, but in her heart she's a medieval knight. Believe it or not, there's a thriving community of people who travel the world dressing up in armour, getting on horses and taking part in jousting competitions. Sarah's so good at it, that she's ranked as the world's number one woman jouster. She estimates she's spent over $100,000 of her savings on the sport. She's even moved from her home country of Australia to work in Oman so that she can be closer to the European summer jousting season. Image: Top female jouster Sarah Hay Credit: The Jousting Life
