This Circus Rider
RAISES own Horses
Miss Ella Bradna of Barnum
& Bailey Show, Owns
Stock Farm
EQUESTRIENNE QUEEN
TELLS OF HER PLANS

Here is a circus girl who raises and
trains her own horses.
She is Miss Ella Bradna, one of
the youngest and prettiest bareback
riders in America, who this season is
also presenting with the Barnum &
Bailey circus new trained animal
act Of her own creation, consisting of
horses, dogs and ponies in wonder
ful trick and posing novelty
Although this is Miss Bradna's first
attempt to produce an original circus
act Of her own. she has been a famous
rider for several years, and in the
winter time has made a specially of
training horses for the circus She
owns an extensive stock farm on
Long Island. and here she spends
most of her time when the circus is
not on the road. All the horses used
in both her riding and trained animal
acts were raised on this farm and
trained by Miss Bradna personally.
Miss Bradna is a Swiss girl. "a years
old, and she has been a circus rider
nearly all her life. having spent many
years in small European circuses be-
fore coming TO America. In an inter
view not long ago, Miss Bradna de-
clared that she would rather have hei
horses than the best automobile
made,
The work Of an equestrienne is not
taught in day" declares Miss Brad.
ma. land IL is a well known fact thai
foreign women take up bareback rid
ing when very young Circus riders
in foreign countries are in one sense
of the word born riders. as the worl
is generally one that Is handed dowr
from generation to generation.
There are but few American gir
bareback riders, and it is due in part
no doubt, to the fact that there is n,
apprenticeship system here. because
the laws forbid performances by chill
dren at an age where in Europe the.
would be making professional appear
ances In the ring. That is the rea
reason that the majority Of circus
riders are Europeans"
Miss Bradna and her acts will b.
seen here on July Is. with the Bar
mum & Bailey circus Many Of Mis-
Bradna's horses are utilized in tn
great spectacular display, Persia, o
the Pageants Of the Thousand an
One Nights" the brilliant Orienta
revue which the circus is featuring
this season.
