Beautiful well trained horses. Something the American Circus is sorely missing.

Herrman Ostermaier, father of world renowned High School trainer, Albert Ostermaier. Albert was well know in the United States for his beautiful black Lipizzan stallion.
The Mr. Albert Ostermaier and one of his riders. Mr. Ostermaier mentored some of the best trainers of the day. He was recognized as being a trainer of absolute precision and correctness.
Madame Col. Diane Olds Rossi, one of Mr. Ostermaier's finest, most well know students, with Roman her Lipizzan, executing a beautiful capriolle. Madame Col. currently operates a training stable in California, where she is a recognized authority of Fresian horses, and the Art of the Dance.
Madam Col. Olds is also one of the most correct, versed long line trainers I have ever had the honor of being able to learn from. This is Cal Dorado, a gorgeous Arabian stallion. He and Madame Col. made quite a name for themselves out on the west coast.
This is Bud Long, one of Madame Col's. students demonstrating a piaffe in hand with Roman. And this, circus friends looks to this townie like a "authentic four generations". Incredible knowledge passed down to the next generation, and that generation excelling and passing it on, regardless of who the broodmare or sire were. "My Grandfather was so and so." "So what have you done?" "My mother is so and so." "So show me something." Knowledge is given, knowledge is earned. There are rare exceptions to this rule and they are the elite horsemen of the European Circus.
