Great shot !!! That’s why we all were riding hats even leading the horses. Always remember that they have a mind of their own !

Fun Fact:
Why yes, "horse diving" was a thing for awhile.
We don't have much information on horse diving, but this photo in our collection was taken by L.A. Huffman probably between the late 1890s and 1930.
What we do know is horse diving usually involved a pretty young woman, who rode a horse off of a platform, dropping up to 60 feet into a relatively shallow pool (some accounts report them being only 12-to-14-feet deep).
Horse diving was a big event in the early late 1890s and 1900s in St. Louis, Missouri, and Atlantic City, New Jersey, but by 1970s interest had waned, and the horses were sold, ending the practice.
