Flavio Togni's new act-- 10th International Circus Festival City of Latina



I like the saddles on the horses. Great stuff from Flavio again. These are obviously young camels. I mentioned the herd instinct in the video below, and the importance of maturity and "seasoning" in a liberty animal. It was all the camel could do to stay in the ring and bow, while his herd mates had left. LOL

What a great act. Isn't this what circus is all about? I loved it, The trappings were beautiful although I would have preferred just the gorgeous pads on the horses instead of saddles which made them a bit busy. The camels were beautiful and groomed as well as the horses, all looking like they had manes; everything was so well executed and a delight to the eyes. Loved the way they exited with camel and horse. The costume on Flavio was a exciting as the costumes on the animals and his boots matched...Wade and I would noticed that being connoisseurs of foot ware. Bravo

Dianne,
Did you also note, what you pointed out to me at Cavalia, in reference to one of their Andalusian? I wonder at why it was not cosmetically hidden, as is normally done?
