I rarely point out the errors of Mr. Van Amerongen’s portrayal of out Ballard Street critters but today’s rendering of Big Bertha – the Staceys steed – while flattering to the filly is slightly inaccurate.
.
Given the girth and substance of Mr. & Mrs. Stacy, no ordinary cayoose would be able to carry those two ( nor would want to ) for any length of time and distance.
.
Big Bertha, however, is more than up to the task. This perky Percheron used to pull the circus wagons and performed in the big ring with several acrobats balanced on her back. To this day, she hates clowns !
