Horsing Around

Robert Huddleston, also known as The Pony Boy, ingeniously transformed his medical condition into an opportunity by leveraging it to forge a career in the circus. He faced the challenges posed by Congenital Genu Recurvatum, a knee deformity that rendered him incapable of standing upright.

To navigate his surroundings, Robert adeptly maneuvered on all fours, earning him the moniker of Pony Boy. Driven by his determination to not burden others, he diligently contributed to his family's farm during his formative years. Furthermore, he valiantly served in the Second World War, utilizing his skills as a skilled blacksmith and carpenter.
