Blue Show 1995

If it is, the female trainer-her name escapes me-is now on Cole Bros. with her two sons in a bareback act. I believe this may be that trainer's parents and their animals. I recognize the horse harness. I think it is the Kim family? -Chris "You may be right, I was on the show then and remember the horse/bear act well. It worked in an open ring and was a lot more exciting than the one on this morning's Blog appeared to be. These bears would hop down and screw out the back door on occasion. I put a member of their family, Vica, into one of the elephant acts. Here we see Barbara teaching her how to do an "up and over" with "Anna May". Buckles
