Carousel MountsBad Reichenhall, BavariaThe pig as mount is rather unique, probably a Bavarian specialty, given our love affair with roast pork.
Hm, yes, I have never seen a pig in this … but really? NICE! It seems to be a really old carousel – not some pseudo-vintage.P.S. I like the framing with the golden pole in the center and the three animals, each in its own part of the photo.Reply
From Tyler I’ve learned that pig riding is popular with kids at U.S. rodeos. Over here we prefer to eat them…Reply
I suppose bull riding is the Bavarian thing to do – as I have learned many years ago from Sir Quickly.Reply
Ox riding, Martina! Bull riding is for those former expats west of the Atlantic ocean – Bavarians, being more the stout, slow type, would be completely at a loss with bulls.Reply
Yes, of course you are right. Even as I wrote it I thought there seems to be something wrong about the expression “bull” …Reply

And just try to imagine Sir Quickly on a U.S. bull…
… and this was the moment when my boyfriend asked me why I am laughing so hard …
