ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Arne Koets

Arne Koets is a person who likes to dress up in old-fashioned clothes and armor and ride horses. He does this to pretend he is living in a time a long, long time ago and experience what it was like to be a knight.

He is kind of like someone who likes to dress up as Superman or Wonder Woman for Halloween, except Arne does it all the time! He even goes to competitions where he shows off his horse riding skills and costumes.

People who do what Arne does are called "reenactors" because they are trying to recreate things that happened a long time ago. People who like to watch what he does think it's really cool and interesting to see how people used to live a really long time ago.
