These were known as the Hunt Horses. Actually I started them in the Hunt quarters for some three mo9nths, Paul Nelson replaced the lead horse and finished them up. Ringling bought them and Jack Joyce worked them prior to M.R. When Jack with a grin asked if I wanted him to show us the routine I in good humour declined. It was the basic Cole Show routine that we all were quite familiar with. It was one of those circus incidents that we enjoy. M.R. worked them with perfection and I believe Billy Baker last worked them and then some of them became Bulgarian Cossack horses. Too bad but typical Ringling. Good old American style liberty act that made it to the GSOE.

Johnny,
Please share with us the liberty horse routine of a basic Cole show.
