Opis

In 1893 the Horsemen from Georgia, Caucasus, went to the United States where for more than 30 years they performed under the name of 'Russian Cossacks' in the American circuses and shows. This is the true story of people who arrived in America in search of financial support for their poor families back in Georgia and, at the same time without knowing it had influenced the riding technique of many participants in the most popular shows of that time.
