Bareback Elephant Ride

Such gentle but immensely strong animals. We rode a cow - the smallest of the five animals at the Elephant Farm the day we visited. And yet the power and strength we could feel through her back as we rode for a short time around the paddock was touching while intimidating. The hair on her hide was strong and black like a wild pig has, and prickled Murray's bare legs unmercifully :)

The bulls were huge and grumpy even though as India elephants they are the small cousins of the African breed.

 Wonderful experience!
