Lots of little girls dream about having their own horse someday, especially if they live on a farm as Hannah Simpson did. Growing up in the Southland hills outside Invercargill, the southernmost city in New Zealand, Hannah loved being around and caring for animals. But without a horse, something didn\u2019t feel quite right. She didn\u2019t just want to trot around the barnyard; she wanted to gallop through meadows and compete in show jumping.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the feed and other costs of caring for a horse<\/a> were beyond her family\u2019s budget, so she tried to put the idea of riding out of her mind. That is, until one day when she was tending her family\u2019s small herd of cows and her younger brother dared her to hop on top of one. Little did 11-year-old Hannah know that his attempt to challenge her would turn into something special. She carefully slid onto the back of a six-month-old Brown Swiss calf named Lilac, who surprisingly didn\u2019t try to buck her off.<\/p>\n

For days after that, Hannah rode Lilac around the farm at a walk. Then they worked up to a canter. Before she knew it, Hannah had the calf stepping over logs, which soon turned into jumping over fallen tree trunks\u2014some as large as three feet in diameter. \u201cI have always loved jumping,\u201d Hannah told The Guardian<\/em>. \u201cAnd Lilac was always jumping out of the cow shed when she was young, so I think she likes it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hannah\u2019s friends and family quickly got used to her unusual passion<\/a>. New acquaintances tend to \u201cthink it\u2019s a bit crazy,\u201d she admits, \u201cbut cool.\u201d In time, she discovered that a few of the other cows on the farm were willing to canter and jump as well. \u201cLilac wasn\u2019t really into cantering, but one of my other cows, Honey, cantered all the time,\u201d she says. \u201cShe was speedy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hannah spends the most time with Lilac, though, whom she rides bareback holding just a halter (she learned that the cow wasn\u2019t fond of wearing a saddle). Despite years of soaring over obstacles\u2014some as high as three feet\u2014atop Lilac, she never planned on fulfilling her show-jumping dream with a cow. Even if Hannah could enter Lilac in a run for a blue ribbon, she knows her bovine best friend can be stubborn at times and probably wouldn\u2019t behave around crowds and all the action.<\/p>\n

Hannah did eventually get a horse, when she was 16. In 2015, she started competing with Sammy, a Standardbred whom you can see occasional photos of on her Instagram feed. The star of her Instagram<\/a>, though, is Lilac. The truth is, Hannah still prefers riding her faithful Brown Swiss. \u201cWe grew up together,\u201d she says. \u201cLilac is a special cow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hannah, now 20, is studying to be a rural animal technician at Southern Institute of Technology in Invercargill. But she always makes time for her longtime pal. \u201cLilac can be lazy when she wants, but she still loves jumping and river swims,\u201d Hannah says. It\u2019s been almost a decade since she made good on that dare to ride a cow\u2014a challenge from which an enduring bond grew. Sounds like a pretty moo<\/i>-ving friendship, if you ask us.<\/p>\n
