This is probably the worst liberty act I have ever seen. At least it has an even number of horses. A rider on each horse is probably the only way they could keep the wheel from running out of control. How do I know that? Because I was told.

Dorita Konyot told me that when her father on Ringling trained an eight horse liberty act of grey percherons that she, in training rode the lead horse, not unusual, and that on the road she rode the lead horse for awhile, as well, unusual, but it kept them from running a race in the wheels. That is what I believe that rider on the lead horse is doing.
John, remember that eight horse liberty act of grey perchersons? They worked "nekked" remember. With out all the iron and leather that we both love and cherish. I never knew why. Maybe there was no liberty harness to fit Percheron's? Maybe they just grabbed some baggage horse's and whipped something up quick, and needed Dorita for guidance, no disrespect to the to the Great Arthur.

The Shumans.

My first thought was that it was the Schumanns! Max and Albert for sure. I think Benny is in there, but not certain about the 4th. Purely because I've seen photos of the family in this type of costume.

John,
It is the Schumanns. And Chris it is not a liberty act, that was a joke, on the fact there were riders on the horses. It was a high school drill.

I think the fourth rider is a girl
and She 's name Katja Schumann.
