Ringling Brothers Circus
This message is from: Dave and Patti Walter dwal...@tm.net For those in the Midwest the Fjords that perform in the Ringling Brothers Circus will be performing in IL Nov. 3-27th. They will be in Rosemount IL Nov. 3-13th and then in Chicago Nov. 16-27th. They are with the RED TOUR. There are several different shows but the Fjords are in the RED TOUR. The Vet from the circus contacted me that Tinman (Tindeman bred by Catherine and Rue Lassessen )the latest Fjord that I sold them will be in the act and thought I'd like to see him. My family is hoping to go to Rosemont on the 6th of Nov to see him and the other Fjords. At Rosemont they have an open house where the animals are out for all to see. They have paddocks set up where the horses get to run around, plus all the animals in the circus are out, you can get up closer to them-not touch them, but closer. They also have more information about the animals as to educate people about wild animals such as the elephants, tigers, etc. More like a Zoo setting. The circus does do a wonderful job taking care of their animals. It's a different life but we all have different lives and these animals are very well cared for and very loved. The horses get groomed daily, their stalls are NEVER dirty, they have a vet on hand 24 hrs. a day, and many would not think it, but they get ridden by many of the performers for pleasure. So, it's not just sit in a stall, learn the act and then perform. These animals HAVE to be happy or they would not do their jobs. I'll get pictures and post them. They also will be in OHIO before this time and IN after, you can check out the dates and times on the website, www.ringling.com Patti Jo Walter Francis Creek Fjords Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw Classified Ads: http://tinyurl.com/5b5g2f

This message is from: Debbie Hunt huntdebbi...@yahoo.com Hi Patti Jo: They were actually in Louisville this year with the Circus but I had no idea they were in the Circus so I did not go. My trainer sent me a picture as she had taken her niece.

This message is from: kjmartin...@msn.com I had no intentions of upsetting anyone, but I thought that it was an interesting article written by a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Deborah Nelson. I learned many things about the elephant - that they mature at about the same rate as a human.

Have you been there? Seen for yourself? Talked with the crew? ANY SITUATION, ANY HOME can be put in a bad light. I can say with certainty these animals are WELL CARED FOR. I've seen it several times and I know some of the people. No book will change my mind, as I have firsthand knowledge and again they do have a different life but it is a good life. If you don't like the circus don't go, but I would be careful to talk bad about things you don't know about first hand.
