1925 Ringling-Barnum Program

Scan000011247, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. "The Reiffenbach Sisters, Champion Equestriennes from the Ural Mountains." I saw a short film of this act. The horse is wearing a small platform. One clip showed a rider doing rapid fire flip-flaps completely around the ring as the horse galloped at a pretty good clip. Another showed a series of adagio poses at the same pace, with one sister holding the other overhead using one arm.
