Slow moo-tion: The farm that lets visitors saddle up on COWS rather than horses (but treks can take a while as the bovines love to graze)<br /> <br /> Visitors to a farm in the Swiss Alps may be surprised to find that instead of saddling up on a horse - they get to ride cows.<br /> Bolderhof Farm offers guests the chance to clamber onto the back of one of the hoofed creatures for treks lasting up to half a day.<br /> The owner of the farm says that unlike horses, dairy cows are less likely to react to scenarios around them, meaning the risk of falling off is slim.<br /> <br /> Guests are able to get acquainted with their bovine in a short meet and greet, according to Smithsonian, before putting on a helmet and saddling up for the unusual experience.<br /> Despite their large size, the herbivores' speed ranges from 'slow to very slow' - perfect for enjoying the woods and rivers of the Rhine lowlands.<br /> In fact their pace is so glacial that rides in the past have been delayed by cows whose attention is more preoccupied with grazing rather than completing the journey.<br /> <br /> But what the experience does offer is a peaceful and stress-free amble through the beautiful rolling Swiss Alps. <br /> 'If something happens around you, the cow stands still and looks,' Bolderhof Farm owner Heinz Morgenegg told the Smithsonian. <br /> After a slow trek through the countryside, wannabe cowboys can enjoy a picnic spread of organic meat, cheese, bread and wine.<br /> <br /> The cow trekking experience started after Morgenegg queried what would happen if he climbed onto the back of one of his herd.<br /> As the bovine lay on the ground he clambered on, with the cow barely reacting to his rider. <br /> Years later, and the farm has cow trekking as a permanent attraction with people from all over the globe flocking to stroll on his prized animals.<br /> <br /> For those who aren't keen to hop on a cow, there are a range of other activities available on the farm. <br /> Guests can make cheese, milk cows,  saw wood, try farmhand skills and see the on-site water buffalo. <br /> After a day on the
