197 learned equestrianism

Mo Shaolan took Li Banxia to the stable of the cottage, the people of the three mountains and twelve villages galloped on horseback all the year round, and there were all kinds of horses here.

"If you want to learn equestrianism, you must first learn to pick a horse."

Mo Shaolan came to a white horse on the far left side of the stable, "A gentle and galloping horse is a good horse for both complete and beginner equestrians. It is manifested in the body is not too tall, the temperament is mild, there is no habit of kicking and biting, running when the reins are thrown, the speed is moderate, and the reins are stopped. See if the horse's temperament is gentle, and it is shown in both eyes and movements. Fast horses generally have the characteristics of wide chest, spanning waist, thin calves, small and round hooves, and good mental state. ”

"This white horse is called Xiaochou, and it is the mount of the owner of the village five years ago. Good runner, gentle in nature, and very spiritual. However, since the owner of the village took over the position of the owner of the village a few years ago, he has never ridden this horse again. ”

"Why is that?"

"The owner of the village thinks this horse is too gentle, and she likes challenging horses, so the horse she rides is almost the fiercest and fastest horse in the cottage." Mo Shaolan couldn't help but shake her head when she said this.

Miss's stubborn and competitive temperament, after so many years, has really not changed at all.

Li Banxia nodded understandingly, her sister's temperament is really as he said.

"The owner of the village knows that Miss Li is new to equestrianism, and he is afraid that you will not be able to control it for a while, so he specially gave you this horse Xiaochou. Xiaochou is docile and spiritual, I believe that Miss Li will soon be able to run in with Xiaochou, and learning equestrianism will be much smoother. ”

Smile and smile, smile and face troubles and sorrows. He chose this name, and he also chose this horse for her, he thought that this horse could accompany her for a lifetime, but he did not expect that it would change hands so soon.

Anyway, this horse is put in the stable, and that Miss Li is the person she cares about. It is also a good choice to let Xiaochou follow her.

Li Banxia stood next to Xiaochou, stretched out his hand, gently stroked the soft fur on the horse's back, and raised a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Laughing sorrow...... Laughing sorrow...... It's so beautiful......"

"It's good that Miss Li likes it, and that's the case, this horse is Miss Li's mount."

Mo Shaolan came out of the stable with a smile, walked a few steps forward with Li Banxia, came to the middle of the racecourse, and let Li Banxia stand behind him and watch.

"Miss Li. Riding a horse is important about safety, and there are a few things to pay attention to when you are new to equestrianism. Be sure not to. Mo Shaolan said as she smoothed the horse's hair, like she was communicating with her good friend.

Li Banxia nodded seriously.

Of course, she will pay attention to this, after all, horseback riding is not child's play. One is not careful, but it will be thrown down by the horse. At that time, it was common for someone to break an arm or leg.

"First, never stand behind the horse and behind the side to prevent being kicked."

Mo Shaolan said. Li Banxia, who was thinking about it and planning to look around the horse again, pulled back. "Miss Li, it's a very dangerous thing to go behind the horse so rashly."

Li Banxia smiled apologetically at him and stood behind him obediently. Don't dare to move.

Mo Shaolan saw that she was not moving, her body took a step forward, turned her body sideways, and pulled the belly strap on the saddle.

"Before getting on the horse, you must check whether the belly strap is tightened, and you can only get on the horse after fastening it. If the belly strap is not fastened, it is easy to turn the saddle, which is the most dangerous. During the ride, you should also check the tightness of the belly strap every once in a while - "Tighten the belly strap on your body." Show it to Li Banxia and show her how to tighten the belly band.

"Also, when choosing a horse, it's best to choose a horse with a hoop in the saddle, because the hoops will help you keep your balance." Although this horse has not been ridden by Hong Ying for a long time, Mo Shaolan will come to see it every day, bathe it, and talk to it. So, this horse is almost the cleanest in the stable, and the saddle and other configurations are also the best one.

Famous horses also need to have a famous owner who cherishes them, otherwise no matter how good a horse is, it is just a sad song in the evening sunset.

After saying so much, Mo Shaolan finally got on the horse and got on the horse.

He is athletic, graceful, sitting on a white horse, and really has the feeling of "Prince Charming" riding a tall horse from afar.

Li Banxia couldn't help but feel a little regretful that Hong Ying was not here. But then I think about it, my sister doesn't know how many times I've seen a scene like this.

The more Li Banxia looked at it, the more he really felt that it was very suitable for this Mo Dangjia to be with his sister. Both of them are heroes, handsome men, pretty women, and people like my sister who don't know how to take care of themselves, and there happens to be a lack of such a person around them.

Of course, these are just Li Banxia's thoughts. She didn't know what these two people thought in their hearts, and she didn't dare to help match casually, otherwise it might be self-defeating and embarrassing for the two of them.

Mo Shaolan rode on the horse, habitually walked around the horse farm quickly, and then stopped beside Li Banxia on his feet.

Turning over, Mo Shaolan asked Li Banxia to stand in front of him, "Get on the horse-"

"Oh." Li Banxia answered, grabbed the horse's back, stepped on the pedal, and was about to climb up as soon as he lifted his strength. After climbing for a long time and not getting on the horse's back, Li Banxia looked at Mo Shaolan on his side with some embarrassment, gritted his teeth, and didn't care what the image was, he wanted to rub it up hard while holding the horse's back.

As soon as she wanted to do this, she was pulled down by Mo Shaolan.

"Miss Li, it won't work for you to get on the horse like this." Although Mo Shaolan tried to hold back, the smile in the corner of his eyes still revealed that he wanted to laugh. Li Banxia touched his nose and felt that his posture of getting on the horse just now was really indecent enough.

Fortunately, Mo Shaolan quickly regained his expression and regained his usual peace and indifference. It's just that the smile on the corner of his mouth is like a spring breeze in March.

"When getting on and off the horse, the reins must be shortened and grasped tightly, and not slackened, lest the horse become nervous and run away. Push your toes inward when you get on the horse, and push your left toe inward when dismounting, then release your right foot and dismount. At this time, make sure to take both feet off the pedals before dismounting, especially the left foot, to prevent the rider from being dragged by the horse. It is very important to pedal on the toes of the upper and lower horses, once the horse is frightened or refuses to ride and runs away, the person will fall at most, and if the whole foot is in the pedal, it will be dragged, which is very dangerous. ”

Li Banxia nodded again and again, that's right, that's the problem. When she put her foot into the pedal just now, although the horse didn't run, when she was pulled down by Mo Shaolan, she felt her foot buckle into the pedal, which made her ankle tremble uncontrollably.

"You try—"

Li Banxia walked over slowly, patted the saddle, and according to what Mo Shaolan said, his toes carefully stretched into the pedal, and then stood up steadily, listening to Mo Shaolan's instructions, the foot on the ground got out of the ground with a force. Seeing that she was about to sit on horseback, she always felt a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, the smile was good enough and did not move, otherwise......

Li Banxia smiled bitterly and thought that at this time, she didn't have to struggle whether she could get on the horse, but how she could jump off the horse before it ran safely.

Just when her legs were a little weak and she was about to hold on, she swung her body, shook a little, and then irrepressibly hugged the horse's back tightly, and in a panic, she finally sat on the horse's back.

This is the first time Li Banxia has sat on horseback, and it feels very different. There's a little bit of nervousness, a little bit of fluttering in the wind, and a bit of galloping to the fullest.

Li Banxia even had an impulse, if she had a whip in her hand at this time, she would whip the horse, and then let it spread its hooves and take her wherever she wanted-

"Sit firmly, sit firmly, don't move...... Hold the reins with both hands, turn left to the left, turn right to the right, and tighten the reins with both hands when you need to stop. Mo Shaolan watched Li Banxia's body swaying on the horse's back, hurriedly stood in front of the horse, pulled the horse for her, and shouted to Li Banxia on horseback.

Li Banxia exhaled lightly, swung his body back and forth twice, and finally stabilized it.

"Miss Li, you should pay attention, the correct posture for riding a horse is: the front half of the foot is pedaled, and the upper body sits upright in the saddle, which is the posture of small walking. When walking and running, the calf knees and inner thighs are clamped with force, the body is leaned forward, the hips and saddle seem to touch, and the rhythm of the horse's running is undulating. ”

Mo Shaolan saw that Li Banxia was really unfamiliar, so she came over and helped her correct her movements. After correcting most of the time for tea, Li Banxia's riding posture was finally a bit decent.

After Li Banxia sat down firmly and adjusted his posture, Mo Shaolan moved the reins of the horse and began to pull the horse and take Li Banxia to walk around the racecourse.

The horses lifted their hooves lightly, flicked their tails, and walked leisurely.

Although the horse didn't run fast, Li Banxia was pleasantly surprised like a child with candy. Looking at the scenery around the cottage on horseback, looking at the scenery on horseback, is really another kind of fun.

During this period, Mo Shaolan also told her a lot of precautions, such as: "Miss Li, when riding a horse, you must be avoided, do not race and run fast at the edge of the forest area, once the horse is frightened or out of control, it will run into the woods, and the situation is very dangerous." ”

"Don't take off your clothes (or shake other items) on a horse, especially brightly colored clothes, horses are easy to get angry, and when you change clothes, the horse is frightened and runs, and people fall off at once."

"When two horses meet, turn early, don't get too close, or even touch each other, so that the riders' feet or knees don't hit each other, or the horses kick each other."

"When you fall a horse, hold on to the horse's neck as much as possible, hold on to the reins, and let go when you fall to the ground. If you are not injured, you should get on the horse again, even if it is only a slow pace, so as not to accumulate the terrifying impression of falling-"
