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.

This was seen a lot in circuses through Cole in the 1940s and I'll bet some of Floyd King's shows in the 1950s. Roman standing riders competing with jumps and all were part of the old time races that concluded the big shows from the WWI period and back. Good fast riding (more aggressive than Lorenzo, too, but Lorenzo was bareback, not with a pad shown here), narrower back since it's not a draft horse but I don't see any of the tricks Lorenzo does! But I'm glad you're trying, Wade, for I am enjoying the videos!

Thanks, Ms. Rossi. Wish you'd play the east coast so I could visit and then hang paper for you 'cause I'd be a real fan of yours. LOL, Wade!
