I know it's not a Mini, but I am SOOOOOO excited! I was just browsing through You Tube & came across my Dad's cousin & his roller skating horse "Jimmy" on an old "I've Got a Secret" show! I had always heard stories of Albert & "Jimmy the Wonder Horse", who appeared in TV & Movies back in the day. Actually he only lived about 20 miles from us....but I never met him or "Jimmy" as they were on the road most of the time. When I was a teen, I found a postcard of them at a local "diner". I bought it & have kept it all those years.
But, I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd ever get to see them in action! Of course, Jimmy is long gone....and I believe Albert is gone as well. Wish I had known them back then.....but I was just a small child at the time.
Here is the link to the YOU TUBE video.

The clip starts out with a boy & a goat. Then Jimmy & Albert (Abe) will be on after that. After the questioning session....Albert brings Jimmy out to skate on stage! (he has a little trouble getting the skates to roll as they have him on linoleum that sinks a bit under his weight) Now I have proof for all those people who never believed me when I was a kid (and even now) when I told them my Dad's cousin had a roller skating horse!
ENJOY!
