In the opinion of the 83-year-old "godfather of equestrianism" Brazilian Nelson Pessoa.

To be a really good rider, you must have five conditions at the same time:

Talent.

Dedication.

Attitudes/rules.

Horse resources.

Good management team.

These five conditions complement each other and are indispensable.

Nelson Pessoa is a two-time Rolex winner at the World Equestrian Festival in Aachen.

He also raised his son Rodrigo Pessoa to become an Olympic show jumping champion.

Talent is something that can be attained but not sought, and dedication and training attitude require a long period of perseverance to create.

In the equestrian world, there aren't many shortcuts to success.

However, not too much does not mean that there is none.

Equestrianism is an "aristocratic sport", and the road to success for everyone who leads to the supreme temple of equestrianism is paved with money.

Riders with the conditions can create their own path to the race, and talented riders can get a pass to the equestrian hall after getting the favor of the horse owner and the support of the sponsor.

Human talents are innate, and horses are born with talents, but horse resources are not.

To a large extent, the availability of resources for gifted horses is directly related to the price of acquiring horses.

Every horse he has ridden before has been outstanding thanks to his equestrian talent, but also to his resources and management team that stand out in the dressage world.

It is true that the advantages of the team enjoyed by the eunuchs, because of the internal contradictions of the eunuch clan and various other reasons, the two advantages of the eunuchs have evolved into disadvantages for a long time.

The decision to change his nationality caused him to lose the support of his former Danish horse owners.

Thoroughbred horse owners have almost ruined their sporting horse career with their "internationally renowned" genes.

Fortunately, these momentary disadvantages are not irreversible.

Eun Xiang has never really lacked the resources of horses.

Huan Chenbei can quickly give Huan Xiang's training ground in Brisbane, replenishing three talented dressage horses, taking the shortcut of "money ability".

When the news of the suspicion of [True Faith] spreads through the way of this friendship, the thoroughbred horse breeding community will go crazy again.

Owners who wanted their dressage horses back and took their thoroughbred mares with them will regret their decision.

If any of them left their dressage horses.

Send the dressage horse and the thoroughbred to Australia together, and continue to live on the same horse farm as the [internationally renowned], then the pregnant one may be their thoroughbred.

In this world, there are too many things that cannot be measured by temporary gains and losses.

Unintentionally planting willows can be more lush.

Just like Eun Xiang, he never thought that he could be directly upgraded to a rider of Rock Volcan's after the boyfriend of the Lord of Rock Vulcan.

reunited with Qi Yu in Auckland, followed Qi Yu to Brisbane without hesitation, and enjoyed not only a relationship, but also the equally precious [Blue Lotus Blacksmith] with outstanding talent.

The arrival of [Rock Blacksmith] made the eunuch who had lost his own training, three dressage horses that could reach the five-star standard, not even feel much of the loss of emotion.

Eun Xiang is not only training for himself, but also for Qi Yu, who may embark on the path of a professional rider in the future.

All the while, as a rider, Eun Xiang has been lucky.

This luck, Eun Xiang hopes to be continued in Qi Yu.

What is lost, do not retain.

What you get, you will cherish.

The champion of the World Equestrian Festival in Aachen, although not as valuable as the Olympic champion, is only available to the highest level of equestrian countries and athletes in the world.

One of the world's most successful equestrian show jumping competitors, winner of four Olympic gold medals, and a German athlete with deep ties to China, Ludger Beerbam, who has a deep connection with China, said in an interview with Chinese reporters at the 2018 World Equestrian Festival in Aachen that equestrianism is still an emerging sport in China:

"In Europe, equestrianism has a history of more than 100 years, and equestrianism is already an industry, and China needs to learn in terms of human spirit and breeding in the next few decades. ”

It is an indisputable fact that Chinese equestrian has a long way to go if it wants to catch up with the equestrian level of Europe.

For a long time in the past, China lacked the world's top riders, not because Chinese riders were not talented, but because of the lack of good horses and a good teaching system.

In the era of open information, as long as Chinese equestrians are willing to open their eyes to the world, there will be unexpected opportunities.

In this era when the industry's awareness of equestrianism is gradually in line with international standards, the level of Chinese riders is improving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

If you want to challenge the competition at a higher level, excellent horse resources are still scarce.

Chinese riders generally need to raise their own funds to solve the problem of horses on the road to qualification for the 2020 Olympic Games.

However, with the support of more and more social forces and the participation of more and more global horse owners, it is gradually changing from quantitative to qualitative.

In the 10 years since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Chinese equestrian has greatly shortened the distance between Chinese equestrian and the world's equestrian start, which Ludger Beerbam cannot deny.

China has started to see more and more international competitions, attracting the world's top riders like Ludger Beerbam.

For example, the world's highest five-star show jumping event - Longines Shanghai Masters.

In order to solve the problem of a disease-free area, the Global Masters applied for a temporary quarantine area to transport horses from all over the world to Shanghai, isolate Chinese horses, and after the competition, they were directly boarded in the quarantine area.

There is also a direct flight between Chengdu and Dubai, and there is also the experience of transporting horses from Dubai to Chengdu to participate in the race, and returning directly from the temporary quarantine area.

These temporary quarantine areas, although not a solution to the problem of foreign training players bringing their horses to the country for daily training.

But it's also a big step forward.

In fact, without the blessing of the host, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics has become the time when Chinese equestrian is closest to the dream of an Olympic equestrian power.

With the support of the competent authorities, China Equestrian has mobilized social forces to develop by leaps and bounds.

Regardless of whether Eun Xiang can achieve a breakthrough in the field of dressage without the preferential treatment of the host, the qualification for the competition is zero.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where Eun Xiang is fighting for, the Chinese national equestrian team will never qualify for the competition with only one person and one horse like Rio 2016.

…………………………

After the pleasing opening ceremony, Eun Xiang walked all over the streets and alleys of Aachen with Qi Yu, Qi Yu with a heart and liver craftsman, and a heart and liver craftsman with a small spleen and lungs.

A historical and cultural city like Aachen, which retains the appearance of a medieval city, is a sight to behold at every step.

Spire gates, floor-style residences, quaint sculptures, ancient fountains.

The modern buildings that were added later also continued the style of this medieval city.

Wandering among them, every path is as pleasing to the eye as the opening ceremony.

Qi Xiaoyu found that he finally made the decision to follow Eun Xiang to Aachen, which was unprecedentedly wise.

Aachen 2018 is the Year of China, from the street snacks to the large and small shops, all of which reveal a strong Chinese flavor.

Also in the 2018 Year of China in Aachen, no Chinese rider was able to actually take to the field as an athlete.

The quota enjoyed by the eunuch is related to the timing of the change of nationality, which is a bit special and the identity is also a little delicate.

The 2018 World Equestrian Festival in Aachen is the key to whether Eun Xiang and Chinese dressage can qualify for the Tokyo Olympics.

All along, Huan Xiang has been full of confidence in the athlete path of [Rock Blacksmith].

It's just that now, it's not yet time for the heart-to-heart craftsman to come into play.

Compared with the [Rock Blacksmith], who has only been together for a few months, the [True Faith], which has been in good condition since pregnancy, is still the first choice for riders.

The biggest advantage for riders is their consistency.

The greatest quality of [True Color Faith] is also stability.

As long as you place in the competition, you will be able to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics before the 2019 Olympic qualification year.

Once a rider has qualified for the Olympics, he or she can take any horse that has passed the Olympic qualifying line to the Olympics.

However, in the pursuit of traditional equestrian competitions, the "specialness" of Eun Xiang can easily become a reason to be targeted.

As a Danish athlete, Huan Xiang got the ticket to the 2018 Aachen World Equestrian Festival, but he had to compete for the Olympic ticket as a Chinese athlete.

If you don't want to wait until the last minute before the start of the Olympics to determine your quota, and if you don't want to wait for the few places available in the 2019 Olympic qualification year, you will definitely find a way to secure a place in the high-level competition that can qualify for the Olympics in advance.

However, the day before the race, the eunuch north of Aachen brought a "inside news" enough to make any rider rush to despair - among the 2018 Aachen horse inspection judges, there is a veterinarian at the Danish horse farm.

Before the start of the equestrian competition, there will be a horse inspection.

This process is known as an equestrian competition in advance.

In a sport in which humans and horses compete in partnership, humans can judge their physical condition, but horses cannot.

If a rider forcibly takes a horse in poor condition for the sake of results, it is a provocation to the horse's welfare.

The purpose of horse inspection is to ensure that the welfare of the horse is carried out and implemented in the equestrian competition.

Horse inspection is a standard process in which riders lead their horses on a 20-metre solid, level, clean, non-slippery "track" to perform simple movements such as slow, fast, turn, and stop.

If a horse is lame, or otherwise suffers from such conditions as injury, fatigue, dehydration, etc., the examiner reserves the right to disqualify the horse.

If the horse does not qualify, the player will automatically lose the qualification.

It's hard to ride without a horse.

The private veterinarian of the Danish horse farm has never done anything unethical to the [True Colors].

But he knew very well about the previous physical condition of [True Faith].

He also gave advice to let [True Faith] retire as soon as possible.

This suggestion is also the last "medical order" given by the veterinarian when Eun Xiang left Denmark for New Zealand with [True Faith].

The issue of the flying festival of [True Faith] had indeed reached a seemingly irreversible level at that time.

When he was resting, he often limped when he walked, and the veterinarian did his best to help [True Faith] adjust his condition to the extent that he could participate in the competition.

But as soon as the game ended, [True Faith] had a fever.

One time can be said to be an accident, so many times, the veterinarian felt that [True Faith] should not be allowed to participate in high-intensity competitions.

Because after Eun Xiang arrived in New Zealand, he disbanded the entire Danish team.

So the last medical order was left on the desk in the office of the Danish Racecourse.

Eun Xiang hadn't been back, so he hadn't seen the report.

Even if you go back, the horse farm has already been replaced.

Inglith's people sent back the eunuch's personal belongings.

When Huan Chenbei wanted to tell the veterinarian's advice to Huan Xiang, the Feijie problem of [True Color Faith] had miraculously improved under the combined treatment and health care of Qi Yu and Ada.

Compared to the Danish veterinarian, Huan Chenbei trusted Ada's judgment more.

The advice given by the Danish veterinarian to retire as soon as possible, Huan Chenbei didn't even talk to Huan Xiang.

Before Huan Chen Bei got on the plane, the veterinarian saw the name "Faith of Colour" appear in the list of 2018 Aachen dressage horses, and called him directly to ask Huan Chen Bei why he ignored the horse welfare and ignored the advice he gave.

He originally called Eun Xiang first, but Eun Xiang even changed the phone after disbanding the Danish team.

Huan Chenbei and the veterinarian explained that the [True Color Faith] was fine.

However, in the Danish horse farm in Eun Xiang, how could the "private veterinarian" who has accompanied the [True Faith] competition for many years choose to believe because of Eun Chenbei's words.

Every time you participate, it is another injury to [True Faith].

And every injury may make [True Faith Faith] directly lead to the scrapping of one leg because of the inflammation of the flying joint.

A horse without a leg will have no second way out except euthanasia.

After being with us for so many years, veterinarians have feelings for [True Colors].

In the Danish horse farm, not everyone wants the [True Faith] to disappear.

The referee didn't even knock on the side, but directly told Huan Chenbei what he was going to do.

He thought that no one knew more about the Flying Jie injuries of the [True Faith] than he did.

No matter what kind of way Huan Chenbei and his son used to suppress the injury of [True Faith] and force her to compete, it is an extremely "horse-like" thing.

Where he can't see, he can't manage.

Since he was the judge of the dressage competition at the 2018 World Equestrian Festival in Aachen, it may not be possible to let the "injured" [True Faith] pass the inspection.

I wrote another hundred words, and the update is late, and I will strive to resume the morning update tomorrow~
