Her sister Arnette Webster French followed in her footsteps, becoming a horse diver and joining the show in 1928. She was a sensation and soon became the lead diving girl for Doc's act as they traveled the country.Sonora fell in love with and eventually married Doc's partner Al Floyd Carver, who eventually took over the show in 1927, after the death of Dr. Her job was to mount a running horse as it reached the top of a forty-foot (sometimes sixty-foot) tower and sail down on its back as it plunged into a deep pool of water directly below. Webster, at the insistence of her mother, answered an ad placed by William "Doc" Carver in 1923 for a diving girl and soon earned a place in circus history. Sonora Webster Carver Sonora Webster Carver (February 2, 1904-September 20, 2003) born in Waycross, Georgia was an American entertainer, most notable as one of the first female horse divers. Looks like a reproduction from an early 1930s poster but I can't find another one.
