Wouldn't this be a wonderful spec opening these days for a salute to Twin Towers?"
Do they have this many horses on the Ringling Show?

If such a display was presented today, some critics might single out all those American flags as some sort of “in your face” political statement intended to make certain members of the audience feel uncomfortable.

Great Idea! Thanks to all of our Public Safety Heroes for keeping us safe.

Big doings at our church (in Longwood, FL) next weekend to honor these everyday heroes in our community.

This looks to be a very wide

hippodrome track or does it just

appear that way in the photo

Gary,
You are correct. The current Blue show (140th edition) is only carrying one horse. However the new Red show (141st edition)is actually carrying 22 horses.
The 6 white horse liberty act on the Red unit was originally on the Blue unit. It wasn't working well so it was transferred to the Red unit last year for reworking and it is now the main liberty act on Red.
The extra horses on Red are being trained for another liberty act from what I was told????
