129 Mustang and Bole Zhang (Three more begging for subscription!)
Leonard was demanding, and he also felt that it might be helpful to know a good rancher, so he was willing to build a good relationship with Zhang Hao, and after the horse race's treatment, he took Zhang Hao and his party straight to the place where the wild horses frequented. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the western United States and the largest lake in Montana, and is said to be one of the cleanest lakes in the world. It's also part of the Flathead National Forest, and the lake and mountains are no joke.
It's just that for Zhang Hao, he didn't come to enjoy the scenery, he thought that the scenery of his ranch was better, and he came here just because he heard that there was a group of excellent wild horses here, and he wanted to satisfy the careful thinking of taming wild horses.
Listen to what Leonard had to say, the best cowboys tried to tame these wild horses, but they all failed. It's a challenge, it's a proof.
Zhang Hao's curiosity came, don't look at his current career development is good, and his life is indeed very comfortable, but he is still full of curiosity about some things in his bones, and he will really be unwilling to participate in interesting games.
What's more, this is still taming wild horses, professional counterparts!
Leonard didn't know the details of this herd of wild horses, maybe they escaped from the pasture, maybe they were abandoned, in short, there are many possibilities. This can't be said to be a real wild horse, just a herd of horses back to nature.
In addition, this is a group of horses of relatively ordinary blood, and there is not much value in catching them back, so no one has too much thought about them, because it is thankless.
Zhang Hao followed Leonard to the lake, which is said to be a frequent haunt of the wild horses, and they like to drink water here, because the grass is relatively lush here, and naturally because going to the forest is not much good for these large guys, unless it is an emergency evacuation.
For Zhang Hao and Leonard, they are more interested in this, but for Barney and Phil, they are bored, knowing that it is better to stay in the town for a drink, and maybe a nightclub to have a pastime.
Finally saw the traces left by this group of wild horses, some dried horse manure, this time Zhang Hao is not so unprofessional, although these horse manure completely dried up naturally means that a lot of reference value has been lost, but Zhang Hao is not dirty, reached out to break the horse manure and looked at it.
Zhang Hao said with a little frown, "Their diet may have changed a little, I don't know if it's because these horse manure has dried up, they seem to have eaten a lot of leaves." ”
Leonard said unconcernedly, "It's normal, there's no one to prepare grass for them here. And you see, it's winter, and they need to peel through the snow to find the grass roots. Finding food in such wilderness is not easy, and their survival is difficult. ”
Zhang Hao knows that this is true, wild horses in the wild are certainly not so comfortable, maybe they can run freely in nature, but they have to face the lack of food, disease, and some wild beasts.
It took about two hours to circle around Lake Flathead, but I didn't see the wild horses at all.
Zhang Hao knew that he needed to be more patient, because patience would pay off, and just when the sky began to slowly darken, Barney, who had been yawning boredly, came to strength.
"Look, I saw those guys, and there they were!"
Following Barney's finger, Zhang Hao saw the wild horses, and although they were still almost a mile away, he could vaguely see them.
It's really not a horse, and Zhang Hao's first impression is even a little weak and short, but it's too far away, and he needs to get closer.
Zhang Hao and Leonard knew that they needed to get out of the car, because these wild horses were very cautious, and if they wanted to get close to them, they had to be slow and move a little less, otherwise they would definitely escape, and Zhang Hao and they needed to behave harmlessly.
Barney and Phil stayed here, they didn't know this, so as not to startle the snakes, Zhang Hao and Leonard set off, and they went to get close to the wild horses.
Counting, there were seven horses, three of which were old enough and typical of malnutrition. There is only one foal of the remaining four horses, and this wild horse population is estimated to be in decline, and due to inbreeding and the harsh environment of nature, these horses have lost their breeding space, even though they may have been relatively large.
Zhang Hao and Leonard approached slowly, without causing resistance from these wild horses, still leisurely looking for grass roots, still trying to fill their stomachs.
The image of these wild horses is really bad, and they don't look like horses at all.
Many cowboys want to challenge it, in fact, it is not because of these horses and horses, they are more to prove their skills and abilities, and these wild horses are the foil, although no one has conquered them so far.
The messy manes that originally made people feel flowing and beautiful were soft and lying on the neck, not to mention the oily shine, these wild horse hair was dry, coarse, and lacked luster, because of the lack of grooming and care, it looked greasy and greasy, very sloppy.
Not to mention the long ponytail, it is estimated that it is all knotted.
Because of their survival in the wild, perhaps because of rolling, or because of abrasions, these wild horses can see not only the shape of the ribs, but also some wounds on the surface, some of which have already been scarred, and some of which have left permanent marks.
These wild horses also have spots and pustules, which can be caused by skin diseases or malnutrition.
Some of the scabs on these horses are unappetizing, which is caused by blood, pus, etc. and scaling, ulcers and other skin diseases.
To be honest, Zhang Hao really didn't want to ride such a wild horse, it was too dirty, and because it was not too difficult for such a wild horse to be subdued, because they didn't have the strength at all now. The fact that some cowboys can't subdue these wild horses is definitely not a matter of riding, but it is impossible to get close at all, because these wild horses are very resistant.
When Zhang Hao and Leonard wanted to get closer, the wild horses stopped moving, and they began to pay more attention to Zhang Hao and Leonard's movements, which obviously meant that if Zhang Hao and Leonard got closer, then they would definitely start to run wild.
Zhang Hao lowered his voice and said to Leonard, "I'm going to try to get close to them, they're very cautious and careful now, and I think I have the ability to make them trust." ”
Leonard also spoke softly, not because he was in this style, but because he knew that he couldn't speak loudly right now, "Then be careful, these wild horses are not easy to serve, they can get angry at any time." You're my guest, and I don't want to see you hurt. ”
Although Zhang Hao had close contact with these wild and untamable wild horses for the first time, he was more looking forward to it when he was a little nervous, "Trust me, I have this ability." I know horses very well, and I know from the fact that I make money every time I race a horse. They won't hurt me, and I know how to gain their trust. ”
Leonard smiled, he knew Zhang Hao's thoughts, and many cowboys used to be like this, they all had excellent riding skills and knew how to get along with horses. The main thing to challenge these wild horses here is to prove their strength.
Zhang Hao slowly opened his hand, and his movements must be slow at this time, otherwise he would startle these horses. Zhang Hao is also releasing his kindness to the greatest extent, he needs to initially gain the trust of these wild horses, at least he needs a chance to get close to them, if he can't get close, then his skills can't be displayed.
Zhang Hao knows a lot about these things, and he knows how to gain the trust of these wild horses.
Compared with the nervous Leonard and the lively Barney and Phil, Zhang Hao is more relaxed, because he knows that if he is nervous, then maybe he will be felt by these wild horses, and he needs to be more calm at this time.
The speed is a little slower, but the effect is not bad, because although these wild horses still have a certain vigilance against Zhang Hao, they basically accept Zhang Hao's existence.
He didn't approach the foals, because Zhang Hao knew very well that those foals had always attracted more attention and couldn't let the horses misunderstand. Zhang Hao's target is not the old horse, those guys are actually quite sensitive, so it's better to run to those adult horses, they are a little stronger in this old, weak, sick and disabled group.
Even if you are looking for the big one among the short ones, you have to find the taller one.
The two mares gave Zhang Hao a very ordinary feeling, looking at such a weak horse really didn't feel anything, Zhang Hao felt that it was better to find the black stallion a little farther away, and that black horse might be the only one in this group of horses with a little bit of combat effectiveness.
Zhang Hao was slowly approaching, walking towards the horse that might be the only one that could be held on the table.
The same skinny, the same appearance is quite low, such a black horse is not easy in such a harsh environment; this is winter, there are not too many plants in itself, these wild horses naturally do not have much forage, where can they grow more meat if they are not full!
Zhang Hao planned to tame this horse and prove his strength, that's all.
Only gradually, Zhang Hao stopped, he saw that something was wrong, although this black horse was very sloppy due to malnutrition and lack of care, but I have to admit that this horse seems to be a little unusual.
Legend has it that Bole once chose a horse after a lot of hardship, a horse that pulled a salt cart, skinny as wood, and every step was very difficult, but it neighed after seeing Bole, this is the horse Bole needs to find, just need to be carefully fed.
And now this dark horse, it may not be a thousand miles horse, but it must not be underestimated, at least it has something that makes Zhang Hao's heart move!
