Barbara stopped making the mounts about 1980.
After 35 years of jumping up and down from elephants she decided to turn it over to the youngsters however she trained all the ladies you see here.

In recognition of Barbara's passing of the torch, Kim Baer dismounted horses in the riding act for 30 years in the tradition of the Hanneford side of her fammily, which in 2003 resulted in long-delayed knee surgery. She observes, "There's not much difference in walking like a chimp or walking like a Hanneford."
