Many thanks Vincent. This certainly shows what a complete animal trainer Mr. Houcke is. Also that he does such effective training in such a short time. I can relate to that because we would go into wntrqtrs in Fall and have a big new act ready to go in the Spring opening.I always recall with RBBB the great job he did with little time other than training on the road where you are lucky to get three days a week due to moving and showing schedule.But again thanks for the posting and it sure is a complete showing of all the "equestrian arts" sure would like to see it and wishes for its success;.Very few Sacha Houckes out there. Sincerely, john herriott.

I elieve I note some of the lierty horses doubling in some of the acts. We did that here yrs. back where they were high school-menage horses, western-trick riding, roman and chariot teams, spec, parades. etc. In those days a circus with an eight liberty would get alot of mileage out of that group throughout the whole show. They were worth their keep to be sure. Memories. And of course trainers had to be versatile as well.johnny

This calls for a new version

of an old derogatory expression

"A Goat & Pony Show"
