Carlos was a fine circus horse trainer of all types, highschool, liberty, trick, roman,etc. He was a product of the great Rhoda Royal horse training productions and circus. For many seasons he was with Downie bros. circus with wife and co-worker Etta. He spent late years with Glenn Randall [famed roy rogers horse bteainer and Hollywood horse training] Carlos had known Jake Mills on Downie [jake was then a musician] so later Carlos would be on Mills off and on in the 60s. Carlos was one of very few Mexican circus horse trainers. A fine person and excellent horse man. very modest demeanor.

This group was previously the Denny Curtis horses and after his death Mrs Edna Curtis sold them to Polack.

Is that the same Glenn Randall who did the truck stunt work in the first Indiana Jones movie? Using a 5 ton NAZI truck instead of a stage coach.
