I still have more of an appreciation of simply tormented purple breasts than turning women into cows when turning them into horses suits them so much better (but I was never writing with another Pony girl enthusiast).
Oh hell, I could write a book about my futile endeavours!
In our cultural environment and in our society, cows are regarded as less intelligent animals (not to mention downright stupid). With limited learning ability and no recognisable emotions, they stand around all day staring stupidly and chewing their cud.
In German, "du dumme Kuh!" ("you stupid cow!") is a swearword and a misogynistic insult to girls and women.
The value: What is a good and healthy dairy cow worth, which produces an average of around 27 litres of milk per day (that's up to 10 tonnes per year!), e.g. one of the famous "Schwarzbunte" or "Holstein" breeds? Up to 25,000 euros for genetically healthy breeding cows.
Let's move on to the horses, to the mares:
Horses are spirited, very communicative (if you can "read their ears") and very capable of learning - at least incomparably more so than cows.
A mare is an agile yet very graceful and noble creature. And mare's milk, which is rich in fat and protein, is expensive; it is used to make soaps, high-quality cosmetics and healing ointments.
The value: a highly bred and successful racehorse can easily be worth several million euros on the international high society market.
In addition, girls are born with the puberty-active horse gene. But I've never seen a girl with an I-love-cows gene standing around in the pasture with the cows!
From the very beginning, 15 or 16 years ago, when I came into this scene, I tried to portray my ladies as [noble] mares instead of [stupid] cows in the context of milking games.
In my own publications, in my presentations at erotic meetings and in milking sessions that I performed, I praised my ladies/modells as mares.
I didn't succeed in getting the scene excited about this term, on the contrary: I was looked at uncomprehendingly and I even often received mocking grins and stupid remarks.
With the rapidly growing milking fetish community from the turn of the millennium, the term "Hucow" (initially often spelt "HuCow") finally became established and is now firmly anchored in the fetish.
I only agree with the use of the term cow on one point: If a woman is to be portrayed as a real dairy cow with her tits attached to a real milking machine and if she wants to be photographed exactly like that at the milking machine, then it is an extremely arousing experience to paint a naked woman all over her body with dermatologically tested theatre/film make-up in the typical cowhide pattern! On the few occasions when I was involved, three times, we had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.
It's a shame that "Hucow" has established itself as a generic term for the wonderful fetish, but I ran against it in vain. Unfortunately.
Nevertheless, I don't miss the opportunity to address one or other of my models as "my dear mare" or "you proud splendid mare".
