An interesting bit of trivia regarding the buggies/carriages used in this number.
This carriage that Hutton and Grahame are riding in was still in Ringling's possession as late as 1984 when it was used in the western themed spec.
Don't know if they still have it stored in Palmetto. They even mentioned it in the program.
The carriage that Dorothy Lamour rode in is at the Circus World Museum. There is a 50/50 chance that this is the one as Ringling had 2 of these Vis-A-Vis carriages.
CWM also has the large break carriage (the one pulled by the four horse team). Out of the 6 carriages used in this number in 1951 three are still in existence.
