HERE'S a double feature for your circus model collection a bareback performer and his large Percheron, or "rosinback," posed immediately after the climax of their act.
As shown in Fig. 1, the rider has' just completed a front flip while passing his body through a hoop, as his horse continues to canter at 16 beats to the regulation 42-foot ring. You can carve these lifelike figures at a 3/4-in to 1-ft. scale from two small blocks of balsa or pine.
