I made a mistake earlier today and posted 2 you tubes of Merry Lu Casselly. and I intended to post the one above with the other one of Flavio Tognis Circo Americano. I don't know how to delete videos after they are posted, and as my son is not here holding my hand, it will just have to stay there. I would have expected Raffaele, or at least Ryan to point it out, but they chose to let me look stupid. That's maybe why the comment to the other Merry Lu video may not have made sense, but at least I know how to delete posts
I made mention that Flavio had attempted to put a Garrocha act in his show, and although it was not the greatest, I applauded his effort at attempting to do a Garrocha, in the confines of a circus tent. It is something you need room to move in to be effective.
Demonstration/Exhibition Garrocha
Artsy/fartsy Garrocha/Flamenco I love Spanish music, and I have seen these act's done beautifully. Speaking of tough situations to work in, I am a little suspect of this gentleman performing with this beautiful horse on the asphalt. If it was me, I would keep that women tight and to the inside, in case the horse did slip and fall. That way he would have something soft to land on and may not get hurt to bad.

I suspect that the little fat picador will be sufficiently padded if his horse falls so he doesn't need to place himself near the girl and not to worry anyway his white horse is wearing street goulashes. Actually it's the first time I have even seen a one legged sort of passage in a circle (if that makes sense). Typical of Spain and Mexico they go on way too long doing the same thing over and over.
I would never dream of criticizing, Wade! I'm just here for the entertainment. :)
Madame Col.,
Little Fat Picador!!!!! Touche'
LOL I didn't know what do call that one legged thing. Did you make that up or is one legged sort of passage a federation movement? And yes way to long.
Wade
Phillip Gandey's "Spirit of the Horse" (which did not go out this year) has usually featured such a performance. And I would agree that whilst the horsemanship was excellent, it went on way too long.
