I believe this is the best horse act touring in the US at the present.

You bet Jimmy. Very impressive and I believe it was trained on the show or for the show. Who is the trainer? Is he hispanictools needed. or European. Looks like he trains the exotics as well. I am sure they carry a decent mat, shavings, etc. and with the European style tent and seating its ba trainers delight. Too bad our American tent shows willnot do this. KM, Cole and CB could also have these great acts by getting a good trainer and giving him the tools needed. Fortunately elephants can perform on most any condition and cat acts as well. johnny

Is that a hard surface or rubber

ring floor (symetrical pattern)

JC Hall said...

The photos do not do the act justice but do show to the trained eye that they are doing something,
Yes a European trainer I have visited the show over a couple of years and the gent that is working them had his hands full with this group but now has it quite in hand.Also yes same trainer on the mixed act. They have class A stalls for this group might have some to post photos will have to look ?

Surface is both rubber affixed to a hard surface seams to work quite well. I have not witnessed the set up so That's all folks on that subject.

The trainer's name is Klaus-Dieter Schuknecht from Germany. He worked for the Swiss Circus KNIE a few years ago and helped Fredy Knie Jr. with the horses and exotics. This liberty has clearly a "KNIE" inspiration. Very talented and quite man.
