I'd have to see that horse pull in real life to believe it.

OK, PAUL--From Mabel Stark's personal albums, I'll post the photos of her working this very horse, Jupiter. I'm on a borrowed computer, hooked up to my HP Photosmart C5280 scanner, and hope it will allow sending to Buckles. The act is well-documented. John Ringling booked Mabel and Jupiter on Bertram Mills' Olympia with it. As for my efforts with this scanner, stay tuned.

Buckles: Maybe these guys never saw the tractor pull on the old Kelly-Miller show.
