"Highpockets" #1 (From Buckles)

I had heard that he did a head carry but doubted it since a man his size is ill suited for such fol de rol. On the other hand, being small and wiry, Cheerful Gardner did a head-carry for many years and had the cauliflower ears to prove it.
I would say that Mr. Ratliff's picture was taken on the Floto Show about the same time as the one above. These are the three herd workers in 1930, Charles "Front Door" Morgan, Highpockets and Bill Woodcock.
