Starting in 1905 and ending in 1978, Atlantic City featured diving horses. The horses were trained to dive into the water from a platform with girls on their back from 2-4 times daily. --This would scare me so bad!

Gamal was one of the last diving horses in Atlantic City. He dove into his 20s. He was retired to a good home. (I'm glad this form of entertainment stopped)

Sonora Webster Carver, another girl who rode the diving horses, was blinded in 1931 when the impact of the water detached her retinas. She continued in the show for another 11 years.
