Chapter 81 The water and grass are heroic, and the clouds nourish the spirit
Riding a horse, really you can't be in a hurry, Dong Chen and Yarbella practiced for a whole morning, but in fact, it had little effect, compared to Gao Xi's time, well, there is obviously a gap in talent. Probably because Gaucy drank the magic spring water.
After a hard morning, lunch was supposed to be delicious, but Dong Chen and Yaerbella were so tired that they couldn't eat anything, so Gao Xi prepared porridge for them, so they drank some of them, and then rested for more than an hour, and continued to practice in the afternoon.
However, Clement couldn't come over in the afternoon because of temporary matters, so Gao Xi became the teacher of Dong Chen and Yarbella.
While riding on the horse, Jarbella said excitedly: "I have never ridden a horse before, so I didn't know how good it was to ride a horse." ”
"Really? What's the stick?" Gossi asked with a smile.
"I didn't know it before, but when I looked at the mountain, the water, and the meadow on horseback, I also had a feeling of seeing it all! When I got to the bend, I wanted to go to the left, but the horse had to go straight, so I gently pulled the stiff rope on the left, and the horse went to the left as I wanted. A kind of conqueror's pleasure welled up in my heart! A horse so tall that I used to be a little afraid, even afraid to be close to it, afraid of its majesty and longing for a creature that could be close to it, now let me drive it, let me control it, I want it to go to the left, I want him to go to the right, if I want him to stop, I just need to shout 'Phew-', and it will not take another step. Who says I'm a weakling? Just try to do it, and you will conquer everything! This sense of victory and superiority of the conqueror makes me feel very good, and that temporary feeling of complacency outweighs the joy of realizing romantic dreams!" Jarbella said excitedly.
"Well, that's right, when you're on a horse, you do have a feeling of dominating the world, especially when you're galloping, and that feeling is even better. Treading the snow without a trace against the wind, between the hooves is still slowly walking. The mountains and grasses are heroic, and the clouds of the sea nourish the soul. The most enjoyable time to ride a horse is when the horse is galloping, the four hooves are in the air, the person sits on the back of the horse and falls down together, the feeling is like the clouds driving the fog, the horse whips, the wind blows in the ears, the feeling is really cool. You don't feel it yet, but when you're proficient, you can try it on the ranch, and it's a completely different feeling than running a horse on the training ground. Gao Xi said with a smile.
"Really? Then I'll have to step up my practice, I don't know when I'll be able to gallop across the grassland like you said!" "But it's not easy, I've been riding all morning, and my body feels like it's falling apart," she said, "but it's not easy. ”
"You're too nervous, and there are some problems with your posture, Dong Chen, you should stop and listen." Gao Xi saw Dong Chen riding by, so he shouted to him, and when he saw Dong Chen stop, he continued: "When the horse is running, you must not sit on the horse's back, because when the horse runs, it is up and down, and it can't sit still at all, and it is easy to be turned upside down. Be sure to half-squat and half-stand on the horse's pedals, skim your legs outward, press the horse's pedals tightly with both feet, lean forward, relax your body, and follow the rhythm of the horse. So the herdsmen who often ride horses are a bit of a loop. After a long horseback ride, you will also find that you can't walk. ”
"Huh? Then we're not going to be a loop, are we?" Yarbella was surprised and said, women, they are all beautiful.
"It's not that exaggerated, just do some leg massage after the horseback ride, it's not a problem." Gao Xi laughed.
"Brother Xi, how did you learn horses when you were learning horses, I feel that you are riding very well now, and you learned it very easily at that time?" Dong Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Wrong, I was also miserable at the beginning, the most uncomfortable time was when the horse trotted with small steps, this time was the most uphill, I couldn't sit still, I couldn't stand still, I couldn't stand, it was very uncomfortable. After a long period of riding, the most grinding is the calf, because the calf is tightly attached to the horse's belly or saddle, followed by the hips. I once rode for hours on end, and my calves were red and swollen, and my whole body was about to fall apart, and my feet were struggling, and I couldn't walk. Gao Xi smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, I thought it was just me, so I'm embarrassed to say, it looks like everyone." Jarbella stuck out her tongue and laughed.
"It's okay, I'll get used to it after a long time, don't worry. In addition, I would like to remind you that riding a horse should actually be to control the horse, it is to communicate with the horse through some simple actions and words, and then both parties trust each other, and the more they ride, the better they will ride. Don't just use it as a tool, you can't ride it well. Well, another thing to keep in mind is that after a long run, the horse must not let it drink water immediately, but let it rest for a while before drinking, otherwise, it is easy to have an accident and the horse will die. Gao Xi said everything that should be said, so that everyone would not be sad if something happened in the future.
"Also, as a rider, you have to know your horse. I classify horses as upper, middle, and lower. A first-class horse, especially able to run, and a little wild, riding such a horse, no need for a whip, as soon as the reins are released, it will spread its hooves and run wildly, tired you sometimes have to pull the rope to make it stop. Riding such a horse is the most enjoyable, but it is better not to take risks if you are not a good rider, and I heard Tracy say that there was a person on the ranch who broke his head and bleed the first time he rode a horse. Medium horses have to be whipped before they can run, and if they don't smoke it, they will slowly stop. Inferior horses, but also the most annoying horses, such horses do not run, sometimes, you pump it hard, it is willing to take small steps to run a few steps and stop, will not ride the horse candidate this ** will be safer, but not enjoyable enough. Gossi continued.
"And which of our Romeos and Juliet are they?" Dong Chen asked.
"Naturally, they are first-class horses, because Romeo and Juliet are highly educated, and they know what commands mean, and not only do they get rid of some wildness, but they are also able to run, and I want to say, better than the first-class horses I just mentioned." Gao Xi said with a thumbs up.
Hearing this, Dong Chen and Yarbella were a little happy, who wouldn't want the horse they rode to be the most outstanding.
In fact, these two people still have a certain talent for riding horses, after learning on the first day, Gaucy basically didn't care about it on the second day, and in the morning Clement went to instruct, and Gaucy himself rode Arthur to the pasture to run wild, which can be regarded as completely liberated.
When he was free, the original plan could finally be continued, but Dong Chen's words made Gao Xi temporarily dispel the idea of going to the map space.
Dong Chen told him that several classmates had called him to inquire about his whereabouts.
Gao Xi realized that he had been in the United States for more than a month, and he had never logged in to QQ or WeChat again, although he had played games, but he was only connected to Dong Chen's LAN, so his old classmates and friends really didn't know his current situation.
It's really time to get in touch with friends, it's too expensive to call, let's use QQ to contact, anyway, the network of the US imperialists is a conscience, and it is much faster than the domestic network.
Gao Xi has a computer, he brought his laptop with him when he came from China, this is the first computer he bought after graduation, he spent his own money, and he used it steadily.
