Dominic took part in his first re-enactment at Barnard Castle when he was a lad of 8. The cheering masses and costumed riders made an indelible impression , and in 1996 Dominic became one of the founders of England’s premier cavalry groups, Destrier.
 
Since the formation of Destrier, a 15th century reenactment group, Dominic has become a regular on the jousting circut, participating in shows across the length and breadth of the UK, Ireland and Europe. He was one of the driving forces behind “Master of Game”, a popular English Heritage programme that detailed the history of hunting and falconry. Dominic is busy with TV, film and print work, as well as training horses for medieval activities such as jousting, skill at arms and hunting.
 
Dominic’s shy smile and noble demeanor belies a keen competitive spirit and the heart of a lion. A true “jousting God”, Dominic led the Destrier team to a hard-fought victory, winning the Sword of Honour at the Royal Armouries' Team Tournament, Leeds in April this year (2006).

Dominic’s steed is the magnificent black FriesianXCob stallion "Hawthorn". A fierce competitor in the lists, Hawthorn’s gentlemanly demeanor and stunning good looks make him a sure winner with ladies and children alike.
