Horse racing is common. But not everyone is allowed to practice such a dangerous sport. Especially when it comes to a teenager. Parents of a 15-year-old Regina mayer from Germany refused to buy a horse for her daughter. The girl did not despair and began to ride her beloved cow named Luna.
For convenience Regina mayer she put a saddle and harness on the horned horse, and also set up a series of obstacles in the field as high as a standard beer crate. Despite the fact that the cow, in principle, is not designed for racing, Luna is very confident in her new role. The Society for the Protection of Animals at first thought to prohibit the teenager from such an activity, but after looking at the races, they abandoned their idea. According to representatives of the organization, the animal looks quite happy during the races, so there is no reason to punish the teenager and deprive him of the pleasure of riding a horned pet.
Of course, Regina mayer could have chosen another horse for the race. For example, in different countries, people ride: camels, ostriches, giant turtles, buffaloes, yaks or deer. Zebras, on the other hand, are difficult to train. However, there are exceptions here. There is a known case when Captain Horace Hayes tamed a zebra stallion for his wife. Concerning Regina mayerthen she sat on the cow spontaneously. At first she wanted to check whether the animal would throw her off the back. Then she managed to ride a few meters across the field. A few weeks later, the moon turned into a real horse, easily overcoming any obstacles.
