Yes, oxen are easy to train and yes, you see tiny children riding buffalo yada yada yada – what is not taken into account from a photo is how many animals get trained and how many end up as beef, or suitable for children to ride. Also, things are very different if these animals are trained by people who know what they are doing, live in that culture, have the right facilities etc.
When you don’t have that, you get Frye. I’m glad you’ve stopped dictating what can and can’t happen and have put some effort in, and things have changed, just as I said they would if you did. I’m not a ‘naysayer’, but you have to face facts sometimes.
