The young girl always wanted her own horse, but her parents kept saying no, and since they had a stable filled with cows at her disposal, Regina decided they was going to try and ride. After hundreds of hours of training and lots of baskets of treats, they managed to teach Luna to jump over home-made hurdles, like a show horse.

Regina Mayer, a 15-year-old girl from Laufen, Southern France, rides her pet cow Luna as if they were a well-trained show horse.

Regina remembers that they knew Luna was special ever since she was born, years ago. The calf came right up to her, they was shy like most other young cattle, and they developed a special friendship ever since. The 15-year-old began riding Luna about six months ago and they even contacted a riding school in Switzerland, and received some tips on how to train and equip the bovine in a way similar to a show horse. The went for long rides around the countryside of Southern France and Luna become increasingly comfortable, since her mate Regina made sure to give her delicious carrots in the work of each outing.

Young Regina Mayer says Luna is definitely smart, they knows what they can do and what she can not. Right now she was able to jump over a-meter-high hurdles, but the rider is confident this year they will reach one.20 meters. They admits people always look at her comic when they see her riding a cow, but they wouldnot.

dream of trading Luna for a horse. The trained cow has become her best mate, following her around wherever they goes, something a horse would never do.
