Behind the corrugated grocery store, three horses mosied against a wire fence. Straw wisps floated from a bale mountain stacked against the slatted outhouse. Sammy reached over the wire and stroked the palamino's muzzle. Get some hay, he called to Rick and Rick stooped to gather a handful of hay. Feed him, said Sammy with one eye on Rick and the other on the horse. You do it, Rick whined. Sammy held the hay to the horse's smile while it lapped his palm.

...Bale, 30, is a fourth-generation circus performer: his great-grandfather was a juggler, grandpa had a bicycle act, and Dad Trevor Bale is an animal trainer. These comparatively tame pursuits never interested Elvin. Even as a child, says his father, "he was always hanging off things." He was-and is-also always dreaming up new things to hang from: the Gyro-Wheel was inspired by a double Ferris wheel he saw in a carnival and the cage toy his son has for his pet hamster. As for his safety, Bale eschews nets but never forgets a cardinal rule...
