The easiest way to walk through mud is ride the animal and let it do the walking.

very true. although, the water buffalo skin was similar to human skin which is smooth and slippery when wet. so the state of riding on top and be step on often were one and the same. plus they have great sense of humor by enjoying the process of dunking you in mud and laugh about it. so i found the process of walking along side with them and held on to their tails, enjoyable by both parties and save the animal from great pain of mirth.
