Have you ever ridden on a buffalo (carabao) or Cattle (cow)?
Yes, I did! and many times...
As shown below, a throwback photo. 
The funny thing is that I could ride a water buffalo and a cow when I was young. Believe it or not, it's cool to ride on a cow, too. However, I fell many times every time I rode a cow.
The carabao is known in the Filipino language as "kalabaw"; it's a domestic swamp-type water buffalo, an animal used for farming in the Philippines. Of course, this bovine is the national animal of the Philippines.
While a cow is known in the Filipino language as "baka", it's a Cattle raised as livestock for meat (beef or veal), for milk (dairy cattle), and for hides (make leather).
In our province, we have a small ranch, where there are plenty of cattle at that time. It was when I was young that I used to bring those cattle out of the ranch and move to another farm to feed them on a grass plot. It's funny because you only hold the rope attached to the "oldest cow or lead cow," and all the cows follow this lead cow wherever I bring them.
I remember that when I was young, despite my mother not allowing me to go to the farm, I was so persistent in going with my father and doing farming work such as planting, composting, plowing, and harvesting.
Sadly, this is the worst thing! Even though I'd like to do such work, I can't stay long because my skin easily gets irritated.
One day, I went home with fully reddish skin and itchy skin because I had helped my father compost our corn plants.
My mother noticed it and got mad at my father. I heard she told him, "I told you, never bring your son to the farm and do such work. He can't endure those farm activities. If your son gets sick, it will be a bigger problem if he is hospitalized."
Then my father replied, "I didn't ask him to come with me, he insisted. I stopped him. I was just surprised when I was near the farm, he was following me, riding on other carabao..." the arguments ended there.
I realized at the end how my mother had protected and taken care of me. Her love and care were pure and genuine.
Well, going back to which of the two animals would be better to ride on, I believe...
As I remember, I fell once when the carabao I was riding ran so fast to fight with another carabao. I got hurt so much. I didn't tell my parents about it...
While I fall many times while riding a cow, I love playing around with our cows. I ride on the back, one after the other. Surprisingly, falling out from the back of the cow won't hurt so much.
Well, which is better to ride? My answer is BOTH.
It depends on how these animals are trained. Riding on a buffalo is so calm, while riding on a cow is so fast. The back of a buffalo or carabao is rough, while the back of a cow is smooth.
