A teenager from New Zealand Hannah Simpson who couldnt have a horse instead adopted a heifer cow named Lilac, together the pair leap obstacles, go swimming and runs in the New Zealand countryside. Hannah began riding Lilac at 11 and after many years the pair are regular sights on fun rides on the South Island town of Invercargill, in New Zealand’s deep south.
Lilac The Jumping Cow @Hannah Simpson
Lilac is a good show jumper and can clear obstacles of around 1.40m, she is very chilled and previous a leisurely pace of walk opposed to that of a canter. Heather did once try to put a saddle on Lilac, but she much prefers to be ridden bareback.
Heather has tried to ride other cows, but with little or no success. Lilac is indeed a very special cow.
