026 Learn to ride a horse
"Chestnut, come, come. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Under Cole's guidance, Lu Li led the chestnut and left the stable.
After leaving the stable after a long absence, the chestnut seemed a little excited, and made a few laps in the same place, Lu Li was completely inexperienced and didn't know what to do, so he could only be led by the chestnut. Unexpectedly, Ke Er gave Lu Li an affirmative look, "You need to communicate with Chestnut first, riding a horse is not just over on horseback." Horses are very spiritual animals, and there is a connection between them and their riders, which is also an important factor in determining the outcome of a horse race. ”
Lu Li thought about it seriously, it is true, whether it is competitive equestrianism or horse racing, the fit between the rider and the horse is very important. I had only read about it on the Internet before, but now I have practiced it myself, and it feels completely different.
"Am I just going to follow him in circles all the time?" As he spoke, the chestnut had already stopped, and Lu Li also stopped.
Cole stepped forward and brought some carrots, "You can communicate with him." Lu Li handed the carrot to Lu Li, "Then silently his head and made eye contact with him." ”
"What are you communicating?" Lu Li felt a little big, he was not an animal hanger in the first place, let alone an animal like a horse that had never been in contact with it at all.
"Haha, your communication with Teddy is good. Cole gave encouragement, "It's really telling him something direct." Like I said, chestnuts and teddies, they are very spiritual creatures, and they can feel the good or the bad in you, which is very important. ”
Lu Li took the carrot and began to approach, just as he hesitated about where it should be placed, the chestnut came over and began to bite directly, but after chewing twice, the carrot in Lu Li's hand was only left with the bunch of green handles on his head. Subconsciously, Lu Li touched the white hair on the chestnut's forehead, and his eyes were actually in line with the chestnut's right eye-Lu Li couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he was actually stuck for a while, what was he going to say?
That stunned look made Cole clap his hands and laugh, which made Lu Li a little embarrassed, and scratched his head, "Uh, chestnut, first meeting." Unexpectedly, this sentence made Cole smile even brighter, almost laughing, this kind of communication between humans is naturally not suitable for animals, in fact, it is more of an emotional exchange. But Lu Li's simple expression is indeed incomprehensible.
Lu Li was not discouraged, but was inspired to have the courage, touched the chestnut's head again, and said seriously, "It's the first time I've learned to ride a horse, you'd better not let me get out of trouble, otherwise, I'll let Teddy run after you." As if catering to Lu Li's words, Teddy, who was following behind, stood up and barked twice at the chestnut, which made Lu Li smile with satisfaction.
"Be careful, never stand behind or behind the horse, or the consequences will be very serious." ”
Although this is common sense, standing there is easy to be kicked by a horse, and Lu Li also knows this common sense, but if Cole didn't remind him, he really forgot about it. Sure enough, in the pasture, everything is fresh, and everything has to be relearned.
"You can gently pat the left front leg tube of the chestnut first......" Under the guidance of Cole, Lu Li patted it, and then saw the chestnut raise his left front leg, "This means that the chestnut is willing to go out for a walk today." Then, you can stroke the chestnut's back and gently pat his belly, you can familiarize yourself with his height and the whole sense of orientation, and he can also familiarize yourself with your breath and taste. ”
Lu Li didn't rush to follow the steps, but recalled the scene in the movie and television, holding the reins with his left hand, then walked to the back and patted the chestnut on the back with his right hand, and sure enough, the chestnut raised his two front legs and sneezed. Cole's voice immediately sounded next to him, "You did a good job, you can tell that the chestnuts like the smell of you." ”
"I've always been curious, do I smell like it?" Lu Li shrugged, "I'm not a person close to animals, when I was a child, I had chickens, ducks and geese at home, as well as pigs, well, and pigeons......" Lu Li thought about it carefully, when the family didn't plan when he was a child, his grandmother did raise a lot of animals and was self-sufficient, "However, I have never been close to them." ”
"Huh. Cole laughed again, "Poultry is still a little different. I don't know much about poultry, but for sheepdogs and horses, and cats, they are more often close to humans and do have a process of breath fusion with each other. In fact, in simple terms, it is your thoughts. For example, if you're going to give a good chestnut beating at this point, I think he'll definitely teach you a good lesson. ”
"Is this what it means that if you have a dog at home, you can warn when a thief or robber comes?" Lu Li thought this was really interesting, although people always said that animals were spiritual, but after all, personal experience was still different.
You can understand it this way. Cole nodded, then raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I'm not an animal expert, though, I just know a little about horses. The pretense of modesty made the two of them chuckle again, and then Cole stepped forward, "Chestnut hasn't come out for a while, and it's still more sensitive to strangers, I'll demonstrate it first, and at the same time let Chestnut get used to it." ”
Taking the reins from Lu Li's hand, compared with Lu Li's caution, Ke Er seemed to be much more proficient and relaxed, Ke Er checked the saddle on the chestnut's body, and explained, "Today is the first time you learn to ride a horse, you had better not easily clamp the horse's belly, otherwise the chestnut will run quickly, you will not be able to control it, and it will be easy to fall down." Those novices in the movie, who learned to ride a horse at one time, are purely used by Hollywood to deceive people. ”
Lu Li laughed loudly, "Believe me, the person who is most reluctant to run should be me." "If he could, Lu Li wouldn't mind learning to drive a tractor. In his opinion, animals are easy to lose control, but machinery is much more rigid, and naturally easier.
"But, the chestnut is very docile, and you should be fine. Kele still gave Lu Li some encouragement, and then demonstrated, "First of all, the safety issue, when you get on the horse, you should push your toes inward, and the front half of the ball of your foot should be pedaled, and when you dismount, you should first push your left toe inward, and then release your right foot and dismount." Remember, don't put your whole foot in the pedal, otherwise if there is an accident, you will drag the pedal, and the consequences will be ......" Cole's whole face wrinkled, vivid and vivid.
Then, Kele began to get on the horse, "You look carefully at my movements," stepped on his left foot, and then his toes and upper body were exerted at the same time, Lu Li didn't have time to react, he saw Kele jump on the horse's back, "The upper body must remain upright, and then sit firmly in the saddle, this is no problem." If the horse starts to walk briskly, even when it is running, do not panic, clamp your legs, do not worry about his situation, use your knees and inner thighs to exert force, control your body, and then lean forward, hips off the saddle, follow the rhythm of the horse's running, as if ......"
"It's like an off-road vehicle walking on a mountain road. Lu Li's vivid description made Cole stunned, and then clapped his hands and said yes again and again.
Cole rode the chestnut around the circle a few times, demonstrating the difference between slow and fast walking, "It doesn't seem difficult, but we all know that execution is another matter." Lu Li finally made a judgment, but Ke Le didn't look worried at all, "Everything is difficult before you try." ”
Then Cole dismounted, Lu Li came to Chestnut's side, and once again couldn't help but gently stroke Chestnut's back, leaning on his ear, carefully looking at Chestnut's eyes, and really looking at each other. Lu Li didn't say anything, just quietly felt the breath of the chestnuts, the strong and strong muscles rising and falling under the palms of his hands, this feeling was really amazing.
As Cole said, he really communicated with Chestnut, which made Lu Li's confidence a little stronger.
Walking to the side of the chestnut and taking a deep breath, Lu Li raised his left foot and stepped on the pedal, "Withdraw a little more", Cole's voice sounded behind him, Lu Li adjusted the ball of his left foot, and his movements were a little embarrassed- Because the pedal is far higher than imagined, but it is still within the acceptable range, after the first half of the foot is steady, the right foot kicks hard, and then the whole body exerts force together, he jumps up, and the right foot subconsciously crosses over, but when he falls, he loses the sense of direction of the pedal, and the whole person lies on the back of the chestnut, and the posture looks far from chic.
The corners of Cole's mouth rose slightly, but he still gave an affirmation, "Very good, you made it up." ”
Lu Li didn't have the heart to take care of Richard at this time, because the chestnut began to move, which made Lu Li hug the chestnut's neck tightly, and then whispered, "Steady, steady, chestnut, I haven't sat down yet, wait, wait." "In an emergency, Lu Li almost flew out of Chinese, which was even more terrifying than being knocked down by Teddy yesterday.
The chestnut's movements did not stop immediately, but spun around in place twice before regaining his footing.
Lu Li mentioned that the heart of the throat finally fell again, he adjusted his sitting position, groped with his right foot, found the pedal, and after stepping into it, he kept in mind Cole's instructions, adjusted it, not the whole ball of his foot, and then sat up straight, "And then?" Lu Li suddenly didn't remember what to do later.
"You're done. "Sit up straight, then sit in the saddle and kick chestnut in the belly with both feet, and he'll start walking." ”
At this time, Lu Li had time to look at the scene in front of him, as if the whole person had suddenly risen a lot, and what he saw was a completely different scenery, the stables next to him and the trees behind him seemed to have become different, and even Cole looked a little miniatur, which was very fresh.
