1961 RBBB TV Special #43



As part of the 1961 Ringling TV special Arthur Godfrey and his horse “Goldie” performed a credible dressage number. (An expert rider, Godfrey often made guest appearances at horse shows.)

Considering that Godfrey’s horse Goldie was unaccustomed to the circus’ many strange sights, sounds, and smells, he was remarkably calm and well-behaved throughout the broadcast. The music played for Arthur Godfrey’s specialty dressage number was “Little Brown Jug,” “Garry Owen,” “On the Beach at Waikiki,” and “La Cucaracha.”
