Taking out the horse in a jousting match


This has to be against the rules in jousting. That was a really low blow Daemon Targaryen pulled. I would think doing this would get you banned permanently from jousting, so does anyone know the history of it? Was this against the rules?

I don't know if going for his horse is allowed or not but it seems like a terrible strategy. If his opponent is aiming his lance straight ahead at Daemons body, and Daemon is aiming his lance down and to the side(to trip up the horse); shouldn't the opponents lance knock Daemon off his horse before Daemons lance could make contact with the opponents horse.
