From Don Covington



Hi Buckles,

Speaking of elephant tubs, here's a photo of the Casselly elephants at the Monte Carlo Festival this year (they won the Gold Clown).

In the video, you can see that the tubs were set in the ring before the act and used for the initial pyramid. It doesn't look like it took any time at all for the lead elephant to get up there.

All the best,

Don

And a well-deserved Gold Clown it was! I was privileged to be there and was blown away by this performance. So well trained and presented, it almost seemed to be "self performing." Note that Rene, Sr carries only a whip for a guide.
