Yee-hah! The real life cowgirl

18-year-old Hannah Simpson from New Zealand is making headlines because of her unusual riding partner. Who needs a horse when you can have a cow?

Hannah dreamt of having a horse but when her parents said no, she moooo'ved onto the next best thing and jumped on a cow instead!

Hannah lives on a dairy farm in New Zealand and became friends with Lilac the cow.

The unusual pair have become a common sight in the local town as they go about their daily rides.
