The wind, Lu Li only felt that his whole person was integrated into the wind, the light steps and the speed of thunder and lightning allowed him to fly in the wind, and he didn't need to open his arms, the whole person was already flying freely, white clouds, grasslands, plains, forests, streams...... The whole world is flowing quickly under the body, green and blue have become a rushing river, and the world is painted as a streamer, putting the Buddha walking with the light.

It's an unbelievable feeling, like a lightning speed, as if it could dissipate in the wind at any moment and become a part of the whole of nature.

When he was in the cloud top ranch, Lu Li had already felt the joy of horseback riding, but today, he really felt what speed is, when the black truffle under the crotch increased the speed to the extreme, the natural fusion made all the noise disappear, only the heartbeat and the sound of the wind echoed in the ears, the pure to the extreme tranquility released the pressure from the depths of the soul heartily, freedom, only simple freedom, agitated and flowing in the blood.

What is called speed, what is called pleasure, what is called flying. It wasn't until today that Lu Li really felt it.

At first, the black truffle was not easy to control, not that he would knock Lu Li to the ground or anything, but he was always restless, and small movements such as raising his legs, kicking his feet, and twisting his neck barely stopped. To put it simply, Lu Li couldn't find the right rhythm, even if he was just walking forward, the degree of bumps and shaking still made Lu Li's hips and inner thighs tormented.

However, after Lu Li gradually got used to it, the speed began to increase. The explosive muscles of the black truffle, which seemed to contain endless energy, burst out in a frenzy, accelerated, accelerated, and finally flew through the clouds.

One, two, three. The speed is getting faster and faster, and the body is getting lighter and lighter, as if it has been freed from the shackles of gravity and tasted something it has never tasted before.

It wasn't until after the end of the fourth lap that Lu Li slowed down and slowly walked back in the direction of the stable. After running wildly, the mood of the black truffle seemed to be brighter, and the steps back became relaxed, and she took a small leap and walked back leisurely.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Li could feel the green oxygen surging in his lungs, his body became lighter, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose into a happy arc.

Before experiencing it firsthand, the difference in riding sensation brought about by different types of horses is difficult to describe in words.

It's as if someone said that a thoroughbred is fast, and it's the best racing horse, and it's a noble horse, but that's just hearsay, there's no real measure at all, how fast is fast, how ferocious is the sprint acceleration, it's better than an ordinary riding horse, so what's the difference? What's so special about it? Everything is just a vague sense.

Now, all the vague visions are clear, and all the feelings are real.

Lu Li likes chestnuts very much, and he doesn't plan to change mounts, but it is undeniable that the horseback riding experience brought by black truffles is something that chestnuts can't provide. Even though the run is over, the pleasure/sensation that remains in the blood cannot be dissipated for a long time.

"How? Dude is running okay? Richard was standing at the edge of the racecourse, smiling as he greeted the return of the landing, Tony and Brandon had already returned, and the two of them were leading the horses back to the stable, with happy smiles on their faces, describing the wonderful experience they had just had.

Lu Li tugged on the reins, and the black truffle's pace gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at the edge of the fence of the racecourse, and then he stepped off the horse, "Excellent, too good." Lu Li raised his voice and said to Richard, "If I'm not mistaken, he's not a professional horse racer?" ”

"It's not." Richard's answer made Lu Li more and more amazed, and he couldn't believe it.

If it's a real horse race, how crazy will the speed be? Of course, Lu Li also knows that the speed of professional horse racing needs to be accurately controlled, just like track and field athletes, only after professional training, can they play 100% strength.

"It's not for nothing that thoroughbreds are called the king of the shorter middle distance." Lu Li nodded again and again. It's like Château Romanée-Conti, the so-called professionalism, the so-called top, these are the results of time and the test of time.

"Every day I enjoy half an hour of horseback riding, feeling the wind and feeling the freedom. Sometimes, I even thought that was the only reason I became a horse trainer. Richard said with a smile, "Compared to extreme sports, horseback riding is the closest thing to forgetting oneself and embracing nature." ”

"I can now finally understand the reason why those nobles want to build a horse farm at all costs." Lu Li's thoughts were in line with Richard's. The pleasure of speed is a fatal temptation for everyone; And the pleasure of flying and the pleasure of freedom are like poisons, which make people love it.

"But the price of thoroughbreds is a bit inflated right now, you know why." Richard winked at Lu Li, and the subtext was self-evident.

Lu Li laughed dumbly.

The two of them returned to the stable, laughing and talking, and Daniel was talking to Brandon, as if discussing the pedigree and heritage of the horse Brandon had just ridden, and why he had not been able to become a professional competitive racehorse.

Seeing Lu Li's figure walking over, Daniel waved his hand and said hello, "How is it, riding a thoroughbred for the first time, is there anything special?" ”

"It's very fast, and it's also very sensitive." Lu Li's answer made everyone laugh, and Daniel nodded again and again in agreement. "Daniel, can you take us to see the breeders/horses that are currently in the breeding period?"

"Of course." Daniel simply agreed, "I asked Brandon just now, and he said that your ranch needs a stallion that can be bred, and you also need a thoroughbred mare who has inherited the pedigree. So, have you made a decision? Is it settled now? ”

"Can you give us a briefing? Then I can go through the remaining numbers in my bank account and before I get out of the way, I'll make the right choice. Lu Li said in a relaxed, witty and humorous tone, which made everyone laugh.

"The best breeder/horse on our farm right now is Frankl, who is just in the breeding period." Daniel introduced as he walked over to a stable next door with Lu Li and the others.

Under Daniel's introduction, Lu Li was fortunate to meet Frankl. He is also a descendant of northern dancers.

Frankl is the grandson of Danshan, one of the most successful breeders/horses in Native British history, and the grandson of a northern dancer, born in 1986 and died in 2003.

During the competition, Danshan had great results, but his results were forgotten because of his brilliant breeding career. In 1990, Danshan retired and bred and was jointly planted by Arrow Wild Horse Farm in Australia and Coomore Stud Farm in Ireland, and then the two horse farms quarreled, so Coomore Stud Farm bought the other half of Danshan shares for 24 million US dollars, and completely owned the right to do so.

Danshan has bred countless fine horses, and at one time became the champion breeder/horse of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, that is, the champion breeders/horses of Australia, France, England and Ireland, and his descendants almost dominated the world's racecourses in the late nineties and early twentieth century.

Unfortunately, in 2003, Danshan was injured in an accident while practicing obstacles at Kumo Racecourse, and later had to be humanely destroyed. Kumo Racecourse is rumored to have received £36 million in insurance as a result. However, legends are just legends, and there is no way to prove their authenticity.

Frankl, a grandson of Danshan, won the Queen Anne Grand Prix in 2012 at the Ascot Derby, voted by experts as the greatest horse of all time. This year, Frankl officially retired and began to enter the stage of professional breeding.

Because the division is famous, and he has also proved his strength on the field. Frankl's breeding costs have always been high.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars." When Daniel said Frankl's breeding offer, Brandon and Tony, who were standing next to him, were stunned for a moment.

Cloud Top Ranch is a small ranch, no doubt. Since Lu Li moved into the ranch, the rebuilding and renovation work has been carried out in an orderly manner, including the construction of the villa, all at a cost of no more than 150,000 US dollars.

Brandon and Tony didn't know Lu Li on the first day, they all knew that Lu Li was not a rich family, at least not a rich second generation. It's certainly not a lot of money. In contrast, Lu Li squandered a lot of extravagance at Château Romanée-Conti, which was only $25,000, but now, just one breeding is $350,000. It's staggering.

What's more, Brandon knows that breeding is only the first step.

There are many things to look out for in addition to breeding, for example, what should be done with the mated mare? Is it to buy a thoroughbred mare? Or do all the fertility process at Kumo Ranch? If you choose the former, then the price of the thoroughbred will definitely be expensive, and if you choose the latter, the horse will be stored at the Kumo Ranch during pregnancy and childbirth, and the cost should be calculated on a weekly basis.

For example, what about transportation? Whether it's transporting a pregnant mare or a foal born in the future, it's not a cheap expense.

For example, is it just a foal? Cloud Ranch can't start with just one horse, because it takes time for a foal to grow up, from early childhood to being able to breed, the youngest is three years old, most of the time it is four years old, in other words, if there is only one horse, then they have to wait three years before they can start making a profit.

……

As for the nurturing facilities of Yunding Ranch, this is not for the time being. So far, the cost is already very substantial. No wonder people always say, raising horses, that's the sport of the aristocracy.

But to everyone's surprise, Lu Li was not too surprised, and Cheng Zhu's expression in his chest was unpredictable: Is this pretending/forced?
