Long mounts

Jason King, who earlier was on the Cole Bros. show (they now have an act presented by Tim Frisco, also from Barbara Byrd), has a three-act and so his group came in the ring for a quick walkaround during the afternoon show after the full act presented by Kelly-Miller’s Armando Loyal. For the evening presentation, however, both herds came in together to do a walkaround and then a single long-mount before the formation seen here, then the trunk salute pictured first, and exit.

With all due respect to a genuine
and respected Circus Historian, is this not actually a SIDE mount ?

Always willing to learn.

After actually reading what was written - no where above does it say that the photo is of the "long mount" - it clearly says PRIOR to this formation they did a long mount -
am I totally off base here - or just confused at tge question posed ?

It's a little incongruous and I have now learned not to write comments late at night after coming home from a full day on a very hot and humid Circus lot and trying to cure my dehydration by numerous consultations with doctors Anheuser and Busch.

Which elephant man caused the first long mount to take place?

How many elephants does it take to do a "long" mount?
