Madame Col., do you know anything about these horses, or when and where this photo was taken? The one on Albert's left looks too drafty to be anything more then a liberty horse.

Yes, I do know of these horses and the act. It was one of the last I believe Albert performed when on the circus. The drafts were a liberty team worked from the back of a high school horse. Although I don't recognize the horse he is riding I believe the story goes he lost that horse and had to make another quickly to replace him. That horse I later bought and was the horse I learned to ride with from Albert. The horse we called "Dingy" was a big common Hanavarian type horse but had talent unbelievable doing huge Spanish High trot and long walks on his hind legs. I will dig up the photos I have of him.
I do not recall this act and would be interested to know where it was. Incidentally Albert did have a trained "goat" act on Polack at one time. Would be nice to see photos of that.
