A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

The grand black-and-white photographic display of horses was taken by Kenneth Spencer of Battle Creek, Michigan, on June 30, 1914, when Ringling played the town. The original panoramic photo is a magnificent 5 feet wide.
The liberty act poster with the three owner portraits on the left side is 1882. Single horses had appeared “at liberty” for many years in the ring but this many at one time was still new and novel in the circus. The two Barnum posters with the title in white letters against a red band across the top are of a style generally utilized for the title from 1891 until 1905. The horse fair poster was used as early as 1897 and there is a French edition for 1902; the carousel act is 1903 but variations exist for the basic design for as early as 1897 and there are French and German editions for the seasons spent touring those countries. The fourth poster of the school horses is from 1906.
