Riding a carabao
Don’t get intimidated by its body size and long horns because in reality carabao or water buffalo is quite friendly for kids to be near with. When I grew up, everyday I saw carabaos passing by our parents’ house attended by young kids. Sometimes (if our parents weren’t around) we, the neighborhood kids, followed them to paddy fields or river and often teased the animals by waving red cloths in front of them :lol: :lol:.
These carabaos now have multiple roles, to help farmers plowing paddy fields and to entertain urban kids who hardly spend time playing outdoors.
Splash, splash, splash!
That's how you bathe a carabao
After that it's our turn to bathe you
Happy 
everyone :grin: !

That looks like fun. I would love to join them. Great Pictures.
Such a large animal to be so gentle.
Such a small boy to be so trusting.
Cheers,

these are great activities and experience for the kids. I grew up in a farm and riding at the back of those carabaos are fun..
It must have been fun playing with the carabao in the water! I did play with carabaos a couple of times in the province, but they were always on dry land.
My WW entry is here.
Happy WW!

Hi EM! I am definitely intimidated by the carabou’s horns… they look sharp and can do a lot of damage huhuhuh…but they won’t go after u if u don’t disturb them, so just keep my distance if I see one he he….

Is that Evan riding the carabou? Oh so brave!
What a wonderful picture. It looks like so much fun to ride a buffalo in the water. Amazing that they are so gentle with children. I’ve seen on TV where in the wild they tracked and outsmarted a hunter who in turn became the hunted.
And here I felt exotic for having bison a couple miles from my house! Wow.
