After the Dark Horse King and the local tyrant Jin both entered the stable, the other wild horses were a little moved, but most of them stayed at the door suspiciously and did not enter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Bo saw that the example was useless, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to harden, Ma Long stood by with a smile and watched him prepare, as if he wanted to watch the excitement.

In this way, Lao Wang was dissatisfied: "Old man, you have to get started, this is your job." ”

Malone smiled: "Since it's my job, let me come." ”

Wang Bo looked at him and said, "You have a good idea?" ”

Malone said: "It's a basic approach, is it a good idea? ”

Wang Bo was interested and asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Marlon took a piso from the horse ring and asked, "Have you ever played with the lasso?" ”

Lao Wang hadn't even heard of it, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry I only know about the horse pole." ”

"Oh, yes, it's okay to put on a pole, will you use this?"

Lao Wang continued to shake his head: "I can't use it, but I can sing, you are mighty and majestic!" ”

Ma Long, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly had a confused face, he couldn't understand Chinese, and said in shock: "What did you say?" ”

Wang Bo explained to him the song "Horse Pole", Ma Long laughed again and said: "Then this must be a very beautiful song, but let's listen to it later, come, I will teach you to set the horse." ”

Saying that, he handed Lao Wang a holster, which was a lasso made of a long rope connected to the leather rope, Wang Bo pulled a look, the rope was about five meters long, and the leather rope was about one meter long, adding up to more than six meters.

But he's not going to use it!

There were wooden pillars planted in the ground next to it, and Marlon taught him: "Let the leather cord in your hand fly first, spin, spin, spin, and you must be familiar enough with it so that you can feel its presence even if you don't see it." ”

It's not difficult for Lao Wang to make it spin, but it can't be completely controlled.

The lasso was very simple in the hands of Marlon, an old cowboy, he turned around casually, threw his wrist out, and the lasso fell on the wooden post at once.

At this time, Malone pulled the rope back, and with a crisp sound, the rope was firmly set on the stake.

"Cool!" Wang Bo applauded.

Ma Long smiled and said, "To be honest, this is the basic skill, the simplest thing, come, you can try it." ”

Wang Bo walked over with great energy, his arm turned and waved Piso in the air, he aimed at the stake, and threw Piso out with a vigorous flick.

As a result, his strength was out of direction, and Piso didn't fly to the position of the stake after throwing it, and fell halfway.

Seeing this, Malone couldn't help laughing, and went over to re-demonstrate: "It's not you who let it whirl around like that, it's to fly, let it fly......"

Wang Bo said in frustration: "This can't be learned in a while, right?" Do you know how to do a horse pole? I've seen our Mongol-ancient people harness horses, and they used a pole very simply. ”

After all, the horse pole is a hard pole, as long as you catch up with the horse, you can put the leather rope on the horse's head.

Ma Long shrugged his shoulders and said, "Indeed, this is not something that can be learned in a while, but I only plan to teach you to familiarize yourself with it today, and I will do it myself!" ”

Wang Bo refused and said, "No, I want to set the horse, I think this is a very interesting thing." Why don't we go and do the bars, and then you take me with you? ”

"Of course, that's fine, but it's more time-consuming," Malone said. ”

Wang Bo laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, sir, it's the most beautiful thing when time passes slowly, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Ma Long showed an envious expression: "I thought the same when I was young, but I am no longer young now, and at my age, you will know that time is the most precious." ”

"Well," said that, he agreed to Wang Bo's request, "I'll go find two suitable sticks, maybe that Maxson guy can help me, and I can make a lever that I can use in one night." ”

I don't have to go to work on weekends, so Wang Bo followed them to watch them make horse poles.

When Maxson learned this, he nodded and said, "It's very simple, I happen to have a few long nanmu poles here, which have been raised, and they are suitable for making horse poles." ”

"Nurturing? Are you talking about the word nurture? Do you have to feed the pole to make a horse pole? Wang Bo asked strangely.

"It's actually a cowboy word, which means that the pole is polished and maintained, and the pole is full of elasticity, and you know that the wild horse will go crazy when it is put on, and the pole will break quickly if it is not elastic enough," Maxson explained. ”

"It's best to have nanmu here, it's the most suitable material for making a horse pole, it's light and tough, but it's not long enough, so it has to be picked up." Malone said with great interest.

The horse pole is generally a two-joint, that is, it is made of two parts bonded, the lower part is a thicker main rod, and the upper part is a slightly thinner shoulder rod.

Because, it is difficult to achieve the ideal length of the horse with only one wooden pole, and in use, in case a set of horses misses, the pole has to be thrown away, trampled by the horse, and the part of the shoulder pole is broken at most, the main pole is usually unharmed, so that it can be reused as long as the shoulder pole is replaced.

Maxson's collection of nanmu is used as the main pole, this thing is very precious, the shoulder pole is easy to discard, and willow wood is used.

"Willows can be found everywhere, but this is not necessarily the case with nanmu."

As he spoke, Maxson cut the joints of the two pieces of wood into a tenon and glued them tightly with super glue.

After pasting it, he took out another hair dryer, whined and blew it for a while, stretched out his hand and shook it and nodded: "It's okay, it's sticky enough." ”

Wang Bo took it and asked, "Is this okay?" ”

Marlon smiled and said, "It's still early." ”

He took out the abrasive cloth and began to polish the position of the pole joint, so that the upper and lower parts were integrated, and then polished from top to bottom until the pole was polished into a streamlined shape.

After blowing on the pole and blowing off the stray wood chips, Maxson took out the soft deerskin, brushed it with oil, and wrapped the pole in layers.

"This is coloring, the purpose is to be beautiful, you see, this is two wooden sticks spliced together, the color and texture of the wooden pole is inevitably different, with deerskin and pork fat can blur the texture."

"In the past, this was done by rubbing it vigorously with wet cow dung." Malone interjected.

Maxson stroked his beard and smiled, "If it's for my own use, then I still like to polish it with cow dung, you know man, the rod polished from cow dung has a sense of heaviness, the heaviness of cowboys." ”

The main pole and shoulder pole are maintained, and the top is tied to the lasso for the horse, which is available in the harness shop, and Maxson asked Wang Bo to choose a style he liked, and then nailed it with rivets.

In this way, a set of horse poles is successfully made.

Wang Bo held it in his hand, because of the deerskin, it was not easy to use, but it was much simpler to use to set things than to use a lasso.
