One of the best stories done on the old Bouncing Lion acts.

Wonderful footage of Captain Tommy Kayes and his bouncing lions at the Manchester Circus :23    The horse act at the start of the clip with the "garlands" attached to the surcingles on the horse's has always interested me.  I have never seen an act like this.  Does anyone know of any footage available of a complete act using "garlands?"
