017 Growth of a rancher
With the help of Greg, an old cowboy, Zhang Hao is naturally a lot easier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's true that there aren't many ranches in Oregon, but that doesn't mean there aren't pastures here, and it doesn't mean it's hard to buy some herding horses.
The three horses, all of which are relatively ordinary quart, are cheaper and are good at working on the pasture.
I bought a handmade saddle, and riding equipment such as pedals and belly ties must not be missing; these are all old cowboys like Greg, who helped to give advice, plus Zhang Hao's own little knowledge, it is basically enough.
Xixi sat at the door with a small bench, watching his father riding a horse, completely looking like a good baby.
Yu Xiu is also a little funny, not only the cute appearance of the little granddaughter, but also thinks that her son is really capable.
The mother and daughter think that Zhang Hao is capable and powerful, which may be because Zhang Hao is the closest person to them, but Greg is different, he feels more and more that his boss is a capable person.
The three horses were all ordinary variegated horses, two mares and one stallion, the only stallion was four years old, and both mares were seven years old.
According to Greg's eyesight, all three horses are pretty good herding horses, but they were all picked out by their own boss.
Although the boss is a little stiff and a little unskilled in riding a horse, I can feel that the boss is really basic, but the boss keeps saying that he has never ridden a horse.
After practicing for a while, I felt that the inner thigh was rubbed very painfully, and riding a horse is like this, to clamp the saddle and step on the pedals, the friction is still quite large, especially for novices who are new to horseback riding.
Greg explained, "Boss, you're more talented than I thought, and there's not much more I can teach you." Maybe just a few tips that might help you. ”
Zhang Hao put on a deferential posture and asked, "Of course, your suggestion is very helpful to me. As you can see, the most I can see is that I don't fall off the horse, which is not a horseback ride. ”
Greg laughed at the humility of the boss, although he had only been in contact for a long time, he could feel that the young boss seemed quite confident at times, but most of them were very talkative and easy to get along with.
This is a good fit for Reg's appetite, confident in his business and abilities, but very humble and kind in his life, which is a great character.
"You're still a little nervous, I can feel that you're a little nervous. Boss, you should also understand that if you are nervous, then the horse will also be nervous. And you need to be simple and simple when you give instructions, otherwise they will get confused. ”
Greg is imparting some experience, and Zhang Hao is naturally in a state of listening, although Zhang Hao has a lot of theoretical knowledge and can be regarded as able to ride a horse. But who doesn't want to go further, Zhang Hao wants to really ride a horse and gallop.
As soon as she came back, Xixi immediately ran over, followed by the white lion and the white tiger, although the little girl prefers big ears, but she also likes the two little dogs.
"Daddy, ride a big horse. ”
Zhang Hao laughed, looked at his dumb-eyed daughter and comforted: "Xixi wait a little longer, Dad won't ride a horse now, so you will fall in pain." ”
Hearing her father's words, Xixi's mouth froze, she really wanted to ride a horse, this must be a fun game.
Zhang Hao is very distressed Xixi, but it doesn't mean that he is blindly doting; now the little girl is really not suitable for horseback riding, because Zhang Hao's own horseback riding level is not high.
Although the horses he bought were generally trained, and they were riding horses with a good command and a relatively docile temper, and it was no problem to ride a horse by himself, Zhang Hao did not think that he could hold his daughter to practice riding, which was irresponsible.
Although Xixi is very aggrieved, it is still impossible to ride a horse, at least for the time being, Zhang Hao does not plan to let the little girl ride a horse.
Looking at Xixi's pitiful appearance, Yu Xiu couldn't bear to say a little: "You are happy to ride a horse by yourself, what does a child like Xixi know, she doesn't know that you can't ride a horse." Didn't I watch that kind of tiny pony that came out on TV before, you buy one for Xixi. ”
Zhang Hao was stunned, this seemed to be a very good idea.
Zhang Hao didn't take Xixi to ride a horse, because Zhang Hao didn't have confidence in his riding skills, so he didn't dare to hold the little girl to ride a horse.
But if it's one of those pet ponies, that's really fine.
"I'll go back and see if I buy a pony for Xixi. It should be no problem, if it is appropriate, let her ride a horse at the door every day and let the rabbits go. ”
Hearing his son's words, Yu Xiu also laughed.
It seems to be good if that's the case.,Those little ponies are said to be less than a meter tall when they grow up.,Such a little mini is really cute and cute.,It's very suitable for children.。
Think about it, after Xixi, he rode a pony around the door all day long, followed by a fluffy, chubby puppy, and a stupid lop-eared rabbit, which is really cute.
As for the fact that the price of such a mini horse will be relatively high, this thing has been selectively ignored by everyone, because making money is often not to give children a better life. Besides, Zhang Hao is not a wealthy family now, but he still has some money in his pocket.
Of course, it is also because Yu Xiu may not know the price of some more expensive mini horses, and the price of such mini horses is not necessarily cheaper than an ordinary car, which is not a simple pet.
did not choose the famous Falabella, Zhang Hao took a fancy to the Tran pony.
Because the Shetland pony is a strong, sturdy pony breed. Shetland ponies are highly adaptable to the natural environment and tolerate rough feeding. Because their limbs are short and strong, and they have a thick coat and a long mane and tail, they are furry little ponies with long hair, and they are very cute and cute.
Of course, the price of such a pony is not cheap, and thanks to Zhang Hao's loan approval some time ago, he is not much worried about his ability to make money, so he is willing to spend more than 30,000 US dollars to order a pony for his daughter as a gift.
In addition to spending money, Zhang Hao is also working hard to make money.
For the time being, I don't plan to go to some Marseille to make some money, because Zhang Hao is now learning to become a qualified rancher in addition to enjoying life at home.
Horseback riding is naturally a basic quality that a rancher should have, and Zhang Hao is also working with Greg, repairing fences, renovating cattle pens, purchasing tools, and inspecting the pasture grass in the pasture, these are all things that Zhang Hao needs to do, and he is still quite busy.
Busy and fulfilling, it is still very rewarding to follow the old cowboy Greg, Zhang Hao feels that he and this old cowboy still have a lot of topics in common.
"Charles, what do I need if I want to go into the mountains to hunt?"
Greg said with a look of fascination: "It depends on what kind of hunt you are preparing, if you want to hunt deer or bears, then you need to prepare a lot." If you just hunt some rabbits and pheasants, you can go at any time. Man, hunting is a very professional thing, and deer hunting season is coming soon, so I'll take you out there and enjoy the hunt. ”
Zhang Hao naturally nodded, he was full of expectations for things like hunting, but there were no such conditions before.
It takes a certain economic foundation, a certain amount of time, and of course a certain amount of experience; now, the problem of money does not naturally mean that equipment is not a problem. With a lack of experience, Greg, who claims to be the best hunter in Oregon, is a bit of a seasoned hunter.
The deer hunting season must not be missed, you must go into the mountains to hunt well!
Generally speaking, the deer hunting season in the United States starts around September every year, and the number of deer that can be hunted is awarded according to the statistics of this government department.
Although some people hunt outside of the deer hunting season, it is illegal.
With such an experienced cowboy escort, Zhang Hao feels that the development of the ranch has been more guaranteed, and because of the existence of this traditional old cowboy, Zhang Hao knows that his rancher will grow rapidly and will soon become a typical rancher.
Well, that's good!
