Met Rene, Jr while he was walking his dog on the seawall behind the Marriott. A very nice young fellow who seems to be emerging as a star in his own right.
Rest assured an elephant hook(or ankus or guide if that does not offend sensibilities) is close at hand, usually at the back of the ring out of sight. Exactly like a spur on a rider's heel used when necessary to apply pressure the rest of the time just close at hand. In the hands of an unskilled person, a buggy whip can be more harmful than either a bull hook or spurs.

Saw the Casselly family at Monte Carlo in 2015. An absolutely superb act with elephants guided using a buggy whip. Well deserved Gold Clown winners.

Way off Topic: Wicked opens in a few days at The Fox Theater in Atlanta, Ga. Thought about you and the brooms$$$$$$. Good for you.....
Thanks Charles & staying off topic
Our National Tour had been playing
at the Saenger in New Orleans but
had to cancel as of last Saturday
due to the building collapse just
a block away & the streets were
closed off so I'll be shorted 1½
weeks of money but it should open
at The Fabulous Fox on Wednesday
the 23rd through November 17th
Our Broadway Company will become
the 5th longest Brodaway run on
October 27th just ahead of the
16th anniversary on the 30th
Grats all the way....Love success stories.....
Bob,
