Gold and white tack sure looks beautiful on grey horses. The muzzle's are great looking also, compared to solid leather ones.

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.

Beautiful photo, beautiful horses and tack
Dianne - does she not also appear to be a bit hard on the mouth? Specially given the leverage she can get with that bit?
Wade - interesting venue. Where is this?
Steve,
What do you mean, what venue is this? It is the best 0 the best, greatest in the world, everybody love's it, everybody beg's for it, you are squat unless you have appeared, mentioned in hushed reverenced tones, Monte Carlo Circus Festival.

To me looks not like a trained rear but one that was trained from the front then pulled up. There are almost no cues to these and an ugly rear as you can see by the hanging front legs and also being pulled on the mouth.
A good riding horse rear will cantor up into a cantor in place then gracefully lift himself up. learned early on from Ostermaier. Took me many rides to learn to ride it, keep him walking, style with it and keep it going. Lots of times ended up standing on the ground while the horse was still walking on his hind legs. Albert had good laughs over me learning that one.
Outdoors????
Steve,
They do an "outdoor" show as a promo for the show opening, a preview of the acts if you will. Very bad for the animals as they work on asphalt. Just some more of that "love em like family" from MC. Some of the act's do private shows in a back room for various people and for publicity. The act's really grovel to be there and get the free "self serving" paper, which they use for the next 10 years. They don't use the cat acts, or aerial acts, just ground acts. It is listed as "generally useful" I believe in the contract. LOL

Dianne,
If we assume these are also the "liberty horses" used for the elephant/horse act, a good bet is the rear was taught from the ground. I would give my left arm to see a video of a horse walking/rearing out from underneath you. Are there any available. LOL
