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.

double for Tony II, the original Champion was a magnificent chestnut with a blaze face and four white stocking. The great horse first worked for the "World's Greatest Cowboy," in Gene Autry's initial sagebrush offering, Tumbling Tumbleweeds (Republic, 1935) which was based on a ditty composed by Bob Nolan of the famed Sons of the Pioneers musical group. While not having the opportunity to be as dashing as the original Tony or Ken Maynard's Tarzan, Champion was trained to perform a wide variety of tricks such as the hesitation waltz, hula, jitterbug, and to kneel in prayer by famed trainer, Johnny Agee.
