The 40 Horse Hitch - 1973
Teamster Dick Sparrow, of Zearing, Iowa was asked to bring back one of the greatest pieces of horsemanship anyone had ever seen before, the 40 Horse Hitch. Dick Sparrow personally selected every Belgian in the group and determined thier position in place in the hitch that was four abreast and ten deep.
The promotional materials included here were all prepared by Barkin, Herman and Associates.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
