Andrew Ducrow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Ducrow (1793 - 1842) was a British circus performer, often called the "Father of British circus equestrianism" and ""the Colossus of equestrians". Ducrow was trained by his father who had immigrated to England from Belgium in 1793. The "Courier of St. Petersburg", his most famous act, was the forerunner to modern horse acts.

Ducrow is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery in London, England.
