A Real Life 'Cow' Girl Finds A Way To Clear Hurdles

WE'VE ALL HEARD the annoying aphorism about how when life delivers lemons we should just crush the pulp out of them, add water, sugar, stir then -- viola! -- enjoy a tart cold glass of lemonade.

Fifteen-year-old Regina Meyer of Germany did that, only she transformed her cow into a horse.

When her parents refused to buy her a pony, the farm girl saddled up her bovine Luna and trained her how to perform equestrian jumps. "She thinks she's a horse," explains Regina, who takes her for rides throughout the south German countryside.

"I still want to get a horse since it's just not the same thing," Regina tells reporters. "But I'll be with Luna and do things with her. She's still my favorite."
