Dan's first wish after being crowned "King of the Circus" is to have the Cossacks reappear, and so it is. Of all the thrills and spills jam-packed into the 136th Edition of The Greatest Show On Earth^®, it is perhaps these riders that revel most in the show's groundbreaking new format. As a result of the production's open configuration, these daredevil equestrians can – for the first time in an indoor venue – fully demonstrate what they describe as "extreme horsemanship." While galloping at full speed, a rider turns himself backwards in the saddle, and then forward again; another hangs from his mount's back, feigning injury, and then effortlessly rights himself; and still another slides under his horse's belly and comes up on the other side in a heart-pounding demonstration of sheer strength and skill!
