I love these to pictures because they clearly illustrate, it doesn't matter how much money you have, you don't know what you are doing and thats why masters like Konyot used to be in high demand. In the photo above with Arthur Godfrey doing a Spanish walk with Goldie, note the drive of the hocks, the extension of the leg, and the curb rein. Now compare all of that with the picture below, after Konyot said, "give me the crop, and get the hell off the horse. Now watch closely because I am tired of showing you." LOL Note below with the Col. in the cockpit the hocks, and the leg extension and the curb rein, as Goldie says, "oh yeah, now I remember." LOL

Mr. Konyot also did some elephant training for Arthur Godfrey. Floyd Smith, from the St. Louis Zoo, did some beginning work on a young Asian (I'm guessing in the early 50s) at Godfrey's farm. When Konyot came into the picture he finished things up. Only saw the elephant once on a Godfrey TV show -- nothing special but it didn't run away.
