The horse didn’t actually dive; when the platform dropped, he didn’t have much of a choice.

No platform dropped.

Maybe the training was more of a selection process, they kept auditioning horses until they found one that survived the first try.
Not a good thought!

I drove from New Brunswick N.J. with my date just to see this amazing act of the horse diving, and enjoy the beautiful and busy pier. It had to be late sixties. Soonest we were seated, it was unannounced from a speaker a strong hurricane was coming fast and the park was closing immediately. I don’t remember the name of the hurricane but I will always remember that I missed the horse’s act, our date didn’t go waste, those years they were plenty of quiet places to park, on the way back home.

If it was not announced how did they give the message?
