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.

Fredy and Geraldine Knie
Above is Geraldine Knie's new act and below is Fredy Knie's act which I have posted before, but which I can look at over and over. Geraldine's has some massive boot's to fill, and she appears to be doing it quite admirably.
Wade, the video of Fredy Knie's Living Carousel is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. It is reminiscent of a magnificent ballet, beautifully choreographed. I agree that Geraldine's act is one that would make her father proud, but somehow it does not have quite the same panache. Mary Ann
So impressed, so professional. Love that the whips aren't crashing and displaying trainer dominance. Geraldine's act is beautiful and the key word is "new". I admire her accomplishment and I am sure it will get better and better. Of course Fredy Knie's is lovely, smooth and beautifully filmed. Do the same with Geraldine's and the acts are closer. Bravo and glad to see it exsists somehwere.
Great video of the horse carousel but to be fair Fredy still has quite a ways to go to match the talent of his father Fredy Knie senior. I have seen old Fredy's horse carousel with Lippizaners as a teenager and never again seen anything that comes even close, maybe never will be seen again.
Thanks for posting the new video Wade!
