If the colors are accurate on this linen post card, the white leg markings indicate this act was 3 chestnuts and 3 grey's. Does anyone know who's act is was and who is presenting it in this photo?

This is local horseman at the time, Vern Brewer. Not circus but he did a good job training this liberty act for Gainsville. Later years he would become on e of the top breeders of miniature horses in the country. A protogee in the Gainsville years was Portis Simms. Brewer would marry ex-wife of Harold Ward, Bette and they would be lifelong gainsville citizens. johnny
John Milton Tang,
Thank you for the information. I am familiar with the Brewer breeding program and had no idea that Vern had "circus roots."
