Hi Sara, this is Janet(Richards mum) Richard is sitting next to me as I am writing this text. He has asked me to thank you for your comments and hope you will keep in touch. It has been a long 9 years since his accident and he loves to keep in touch with old friends, where you on the blue show when he had the accident?

Good Morning Richard. So glad you can see the blog and read all the crazy circus gossip. Things are very different now, but the blog keeps our old circus alive to us that were there. We were all so young and beautiful. Still are in OUR HEARTS and MINDS. You were a great person for the circus and are always remembered for your special beauty and talent. Some of us had neither, but we sure loved our circus.

Hello Buckles, All though I am no longer in the animal training world I am always interested in other trainers and circus.
Please keep this site going.

To Richard Chipperfield, We have never met. I did see Graham work the lions on several occasions, but sadly I never got to see you work that great looking tiger act. From what I have heard from those who did get to see it, it was quite spectacular!

I have a large collection of cage act photos that I often trade via e-mail with Jim Clubb. I would be happy to e-mail photos to you for your enjoyment. contact me:
