Here is a vintage circus horse performing a trick of standing on its back two legs. The horse’s circus costume consists of a small tasseled blanket on its back, a fancy bridle and a feather plume. This is the eighth, and final, vintage circus image from the November 1891 issue of The Delineator magazine.

I’m enjoying these images, however this one is a mule, not a horse! 🙂
Thanks Judy. 🙂 How do you tell the difference?
That;s so cool. I love old Circus designs. TY!
That’s great Echo! You’re welcome.
You can tell the difference by the ears. Mules Jane huge ears.
