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.

When I was a kid my mother would drag us to Toronto to the winter fair every November and to New York to the Garden for the National Horse show. The RCMP drill teams were a fixture at the Winter Fair, while the Republican Guard appeared at the NY show at least a couple times that I can recall. Oddly enough the thing I remember best however was Arthur Godfrey, the old-time radio/tv host riding dressage on a palomino called Goldie. He was an old, old man and even to a kid it was clear that although he was famous for his television shows, his first love must have been riding.
Ben,
This will really float your boat. Arthur Konyot who was a "circus guy" for a while trained Goldie. I posted photos this past summer of he, Arthur and Goldie.

As beautiful as the white Lippizans are in the first video, there is great precision in La Garde and I enjoyed it much more for the accomplishment. Hard to beat the old schools.
Dianne,
Don't you think the music could not have been or appropriate?
Wade
Dianne,
After looking at this tape again, you are right(go figure), and the music is not inappropriate for the precision of the movements. That's what happens when you get queer for something, like I do when I see a Lipizzan performing to Mozart, Beethoven and others. LOL
