All you need to know about the humans or Rebellion Re-enactment, is that we’re a very friendly lot. Made up of mostly women, we’re very proud to be making strides in the re-enactment community in terms of equality. We make a point to grant roles of importance on merit and skill rather than gender, so female riders will very often portray male parts.
Now, for the important bit, and the real stars of every show. Meet the ponies.
