A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

You will note that Heyer and myself are using a similar cue, from in front for the Buck Jump [capriole], that is the circus liberty method. It was what I was taught and saw and I would use it on Ringling Blue, in Japan on Gold and on Vargas, plus ponies. I learned it on Cole Bros. Prior to myself on Ringling Blue Franzie Althoff did it the same way. I do believe Heyer does have a lunge on the horse.
Col.,
Where have you been? If we had not "noted", I assumed you would "note" for us. If you can change a caprille to a "buck Jump", why did you get in a knot when I called what the tiger did a corbette?

Col here, unpacking is as bad as packing but I am at last driving an unladened truck. I have never seen the capriolle done from the front but of course I haven't seen everything. It would seem to me that it would stop the forward momentum necessary to get a good high jump and also I might add to give the horse time to kick out with his hind legs. This seems to hold true from the looks of the photos. I can only assume this was done as a necessity since the ring is only 40 ft. I did one capriolle with my Lipizzan in Wisconsin in a 60ft ring but could see problems could arise quickly since I couldn't get him going straight long enough. It always comes back to driving a horse straight forward as circling continuously seems to present multitude of problems. That being said I do admire the greats that "did it their way".
The Florida property looks very green and inviting, now if they could just steer those hurricanes in another direction.
