Dickie Chipperfield

Translated:

A history of collusion, mutual respect and friendship. The relation between the blocker and its wild animals is symbiotic. That between the student and the teacher is just as much. With the circus Pinder on Paulmy up until tomorrow evening, Frederick Edelstein presents his dramatic training lions and tigers. Behind the curtain, the mentor, Dick Chipperfield, watches over his protege.
"Dicky taught me everything," said Frederic Edelstein. He believed in my passion for big game and in my capacity tamer. "He presents it as the greatest trainer in the world, his" second dad ", he was offered his dream on a silver platter. Twelve years ago, Dick took with him in England a young man passionate. He will become the great trainer that we know.
Six years ago, Frederick feeds the beasts of the circus where his family works. "In 1983, my father bought Pinder. Following disputes with the trainer, he had to return it. While he was traveling to Paris, I decided to present the spectacle of tigers myself. I was fourteen. "
After only two rehearsals, the band, petrified by the idea of an accident but even more by fear of annoying the owner's son, lets go on track. This brilliant unconsciousness, Frederick kept as a talisman, the black band became his trademark. Her youthful folly ends happily well but please do only moderately to Mr. Edelstein senior.
Lovers of his tawny
For his show dressage, Frederick Edelstein combines in a single cage sixteen beasts: lions, lions, tigers and tigers. A mix of races and sexes is an achievement, as it is dangerous to handle. "Dick is always close to the scene to help me in case something goes wrong. It is my life. "Insurance that is worth gold. Last year, the teacher saved the life of his pupil. A rehearsal with four new tigers could have ended very badly without his intervention.
Despite the risks it faces every day, Frederic Edelstein still love her big tomcats. "It's all about feeling and game animals are easier than humans when it is known to tame.
