Gibbs did rides for awhile with out a saddle. His BS reasoning was saftey,,,,lol. He said that way if the elephant blew, and ran under something, the riders would just slide off the back of the elephant, as opposed to being folded in half by the saddle That was a different era though, I can't believe someone is doing it today.

Gordon,
How are you doing. If Remo Christiani did it this way for 25 years, that's crazy not alright. By the way, can you tell us what became of Remos elephants when they matured?
