Germany Cow Turned Pony

A teenager whose parents refused to buy her horse is over the moo-n — after teaching a cow to showjump.

Regina Mayer has spent hours training dairy animal Luna and can now ride her with equine ease.

Not only do the unusual pair regularly go on long rides through the German countryside, they also hurdle over makeshift jumps created with beer crates and painted logs.

Regina, who lives in Laufen, southern Germany, said of Luna: "She thinks she's a horse."

Regina said of her first ride: "She was really well behaved and walked normally. But after a couple of metres she wanted me to get off. You could see that she got a bit peeved."

The 15-year-old, who rides Luna every day, added: "It's a lot of work, but I enjoy it. When she wants to do something she does it, when she doesn't, she doesn't.
