Luna the cow has made a teenager Regina Mayer's riding dreams come true after the girl’s parents dashed her hopes of getting a horse.
And, thanks to the hours Regina spent training Luna, they can enjoy more than just a leisurely canter.
The beloved bovine regularly jumps over a hurdle of logs on beer crates with the 15-year-old on her back and even understands ‘go’, ‘stand’ and ‘gallop’.
Regina said: ‘She thinks she’s a horse. When she wants to do something, she does it, when she doesn’t, she doesn’t.’
It all started soon after Luna was born two years ago. Regina would take her on walks near her parents’ farm in Laufen, southern Germany, and gradually got her ‘pet’ used to riding equipment.
Six months later, Regina braved the saddle for the first time.
She said: ‘Luna was well behaved and walked normally. But after a couple of metres she wanted me to get off. You could see she got a bit peeved.’
Now their rides can last up to an hour.
Anne Wiltafsky, who trains cows near Zurich, claims Luna’s abilities are normal.
‘Younger ones can jump really well,’ she said.

Luna the Cow Makes Dreams Come True for Teenager Regina Mayer
In a heartwarming tale from 2011 that has gained renewed interest, a girl named Regina Mayer fulfilled her dreams of horseback riding, all thanks to a rather unconventional mount: a cow named Luna. After Regina's parents dashed her hopes of getting a horse, she decided to train Luna, her pet cow, to take on this unique role.
Regina began walking Luna near her family's farm in Laufen, Germany, and slowly introduced her to riding equipment. Just six months later, Regina mustered the courage to climb onto Luna's back. While the first ride was met with a bit of cow annoyance—Regina noted Luna wanted her off after a few paces—the two quickly built a rapport. Now, their rides can last up to an hour, with Luna even jumping over hurdles made from beer crates.
Interestingly, Regina remarked, “She thinks she’s a horse,” highlighting Luna's adaptability and playful nature. The cow understands commands such as "go," "stand," and "gallop," which Anne Wiltafsky, a cow trainer from Zurich, claims are typical behaviors for younger cows.
This endearing story serves as a reminder that with patience and creativity, dreams can come true in the most unexpected ways. It's also a testament to the bond that can develop between humans and animals.
For those interested in watching Luna and Regina in action, here's a snippet from a related YouTube video showing their remarkable connection【media=youtube]18UPCJdt08k[/media】.
