Full Tilt are not just limited to the joust. We have supplied equipment, horses and riders for TV commercials and large scale re-enactments. We appeared on the Kerri-Anne Kennely Show, Talk to the Animals and supplied the horses and a rider for the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Vinegar Hill which featured on the ABC’s Rewind program. We also provided the horses and two riders for SBS’s The Colony. More recently Full Tilt were part of a TV Commercial filmed in Central Railway Station in Sydney on a tiled surface, both horses handled the tiled surface and all lighting, overhead cranes and other associated equipment without hesitation and with ease.
Full Tilt also supplied armoured and mounted knights to lead the Newcastle Knights Rugby League Team through Maitland when they won the Premiership.
Our horses led the parade and were hemmed in on both sides by screaming crowds waving banners and streamers in their faces. Our well trained mounts didn’t bat an eyelid and finished the parade as calmly as they had started.
Our horses are crowd friendly and we often pose for photos with children.
We are now happy to be able to offer western re-enactment, including the use of blank firing firearms of the period. We will bring the wild west to life again, just like in your favourite western movie. Full Tilt have all the relevant licences and permits required through NSW Firearms as well as Public Liability Insurance to cover us for these events.
When you hire Full Tilt for your show or event you can be assured that you are getting the best that there is.
We have the most experienced jousters in the Southern Hemisphere, the best equipment and armour, the most highly trained horses and the best ground crew in the business.
We also have contacts with the most talented support acts. If you want armoured foot fighters, live period musicians or period stall holders than we can organise this as well.
Due to our extensive international tournament experience Full Tilt also have contact with the worlds best professional jousters and if a full contact jousting tournament with the top jousters in the world is what you want, then we are the only group in Australia that has the reputation and contacts to make this happen.

Full Tilt have been involved in TV Productions, TV Commercials and also Print Ads and we are now happy
to announce that we can provide safe horses for use with all types of media.
Our last client said that we made their job very easy as we were so easy to deal with
and our horses were all very well behaved, which made getting the required shots a breeze.
Full Tilt can also provide stunt riders and horse wranglers and have many types of horses to choose from.
