Steffi is top mounter.

Unknown said...: Three is impressive, but in Bradna's book is a pic of a French act who did a four high on horseback. I have that pic from his albums in my handbalancing albums.

Unknown said...: Should have mentioned the name, Frediani troup. Also, have pic of a four high with a handstand on the head of the third man. Looks like the same topmounter. A bit of an assist on the topmounter's hands by the third man holding them in place, but really quite a feat.

Unknown said...: Jimmy it may take a bit but I will see if I can get someone to send it to the Blog.

Topmounter is small as you can imagine and there is a platform like pad, not just a bareback pad. I need to dig up my copy or get the Bradna book.

Unknown said...: Buckles, you may want to scrap my last comment. Jimmy, I do not have the pic and it is not in Bradna's book. I feel I have seen it in print as well as in the Bradna albums. Fred Pfening has the albums.

In the book it lists a three high at a gallop and all somersaulted at once to the ground. So, maybe I am mistaken. The pic of the four high handstand on top I do have.
