I love this video of a girl and her jumping cow!

I used to ride a couple of my Dad's cows too but never progressed to jumping! I used to pick the calmest with the flattest looking back, then stand up on the railings of the collecting yard when she was up against them and rest one leg over her back whilst hanging on. After a week or so I'd be sitting on board! She would then let me get on if she was in the field and i'd ride her in. My Dad had one the same when he was a kid. We also used to pick a favourite calf and halter train it and take it in the garden and down the lane. Good times. I must see if I have any pictures.
