Well it was the tail-end of the depression, its not surprising the horse was bony. I'm sure the family needed food just as much as the horse.

Square dance?!? Looks more like Balboa (wikipedia.org):
"Balboa is a form of swing dance that started as early as 1915 and gained in popularity in the 1930s and 1940s. It is danced primarily in close embrace, and is led with a full body connection... The dancers stand close, touching from hip to upper chest... The man's right front torso (rib cage) touches the woman's center front torso (rib cage)."

That's not how I learned to square dance! I would have to agree with WaiferX on this one.

Could be balboa, or another early dance like the Peabody. Given the year given (and the clothing seems to agree), I'd have to say balboa or a derivative. A square dance is sometimes a "called" dance, so it could be truly a square dance where they called a move that just happens to look like balboa. Lots of possibilities.

Could be at what folks called a 'square dance', where there were some 'called' square dances [Honolulu Baby, Just Because, Red River Gal, etc.] and also quite a few waltzes, foxtrots, polkas, interspersed.
