Jack Roping Six
Posted By thecircusblog on May 9, 2009
This is what I remember as a kid. Jack Wright roping six galloping horses. I never saw this trick done before and to this day have never seen anyone but Jack Wright accomplish this trick. He would start the act with a 3 horse rope, on to a 4, 5 and then a 6 horse rope. For his finish, if he felt good, he would run and tumble head over heels and rope six horses at a full gallop…..the man was incredible. Over Jacks shoulder can be seen the bobtail truck that carried stakes and stake driver on the back. This photo was taken in 1946 in southern CA. This is a Harry Quillen Photo
