Talk about coincidence, having just finished emailing you some 'vintage' video footage, including some of the Schumann horse acts, I check your blog and....LOL!!

gazrob,
I posted "Shumann" about an hour before your kind contributions arrived. Great, great stuff thank you. Dicky Chipperfield dressed as a little hindu boy is classic. I will post a few tomorrow.

Hi again Wade

I was just surprised, that you had posted this stuff, when I had literally just been looking at other film clips of the Schumanns at Olympia, certainly a class act!

I doubt Dicky would be impressed with the reminder of wearing that costume, but guess we all have to start somewhere, and interesting to see his father working the lion act.

Regards

Gary

gazrob,
I take enough heat for my blond hair and "Gunther bra" Dicky needs to man up and take a little pressure off me with his baggy pants, turban and boney 9 year old pigeon chest, don't you think?

Haven't seen a "high trot " in years especially one that is actually moving at a trot and not a crab like walk.... but then again this is old footage.

Madame Col.
That little grey was fancy, wasn't he!!!! Come on, you know there is nothing an Arabian can't do the best. I am always amazed at the obvious quality of the horse's they used to have in the circus when I look at old clips. I wonder when that was lost and jug headed bag of bone's appeared on the circus scene which exceptions such as the Smaha offerings and a few others.
