Chapter 363: An Unreliable Coach
"Bragging rights, you." At this time, a knight who was walking in front turned his horse's head and ran over, looking very disdainful: "My horse has won the Montana Grand Prize in terms of endurance and physical strength, so let's compete when the time comes?" ”
"It's better than whom, who's afraid of whom." Gosse is really not afraid of anyone, how about Arthur, he knows best in his heart, what horse has won the grand prize, can it be compared with the horse that is open?
"You two better wait a while, it's better to stay away now, it's dangerous. Many people naturally like to be together when they come out to play, but this is not necessarily the case with horses, and it is a scary thing for horses to fight. I have seen two horses fighting, one flying foot, and a piece of bark is gone. Is your belly as thick as tree bark? Jin Sen said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, my Arthur is very obedient." Gao Xi said with a smile.
"Don't be too confident, it's easy to get into trouble if you're too confident." Jin Sen said: "This sentence reads awkwardly, in fact, it means that he is too confident, but his ability is average, to put it bluntly, he does not have a good positioning for his riding skills!" The form of performance is mostly looked down upon by anyone, but he rides very poorly, a bit of a road killer, the feeling of two knives, and when he encounters such a 'hero', we still let him go first. ”
"That's not called self-confidence, that's called arrogance." Gossi said.
"Whether arrogant or confident, let's be humble anyway. It's the first time you've come out for a wild ride, so it shouldn't hurt to be modest. Kinson said.
"Okay, I see." Gao Xi shrank his head like an educated child and said.
If you think about it carefully, although his riding skills are quite good now, after all, it is still the first time to ride wild, and if something happens, it is also possible, so be down-to-earth and humble. You can't go wrong.
"By the way, Ye Xiu, you kid should cherish my family, don't think it's not your own horse and mess around, your riding skills are not as good as mine, and wild riding is also the first time, right?" Gao Xi suddenly transferred the fire of war to Ye Xiu's body.
"The West Farm Master is right, friends who like wild riding like the feeling of galloping on horseback, but if you don't take care of your mount, it will only bring you a boring ending. Riding on the excitement and returning home with the defeat is the best commentary. It is very necessary to have a proper rest and walk the horse! Fei Lengcui said with a smile.
"Brother Xi, you can't do this. Mr. Jinsen is educating you, how can you lead the water to the east, this is not kind. However, as a newcomer to the four haves, a noble person who has escaped from low-level interests, I will still take good care of Rolling, just like taking care of my white lion. "Ye Xiu didn't have a good airway.
"Well, it's good to know, but I'm not a troublemaker, I just care about you." Gao Xi laughed.
"Mr. Ye Xiu. If you have a problem with this riding posture, try to keep your back straight when riding, and don't habitually hunch, otherwise it is easy to cause fatigue and injury. A friend of mine once suffered a herniated disc after four hours of continuous riding due to a habitual hunched back while riding a horse. It is mainly caused by incorrect posture and uneven force on the body. Jin Sen looked at Ye Xiu and said.
"Isn't it, that scary?" Ye Xiu stuck out his tongue and said.
"Xiao Yezi, you should be obedient, Jin Sen is an old rancher. Very experienced in how to ride a horse. Gao Xi said with a smile.
"Lord West, don't gloat, you're about to go uphill. It's not the same as going flat. Lean forward as you go uphill, grasping the front of the saddle; When going downhill, lean back and hold the back of the saddle; When going up and down steep slopes, trust the horse, it has four hooves and let it choose its own pace. You know? ”
"Can you run downhill?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Don't let the horse run when going downhill, because the front legs of the horse are not as strong as the hind legs, and the quality of the horses rented in the wild is uneven, especially if you don't know enough about the horse when renting for the first time, it is very dangerous to do so, and it is easy to cause the consequences of 'the horse stumbling forward'. Mr. Ye Xiu rode the horse from the West Owner, he must not know much about it, it is better to be careful, as for the West Owner, I think it is best for you not to take risks, for novices, many things that veterans can easily control, but it will become very difficult in your hands. Jin Sen said this for the sake of Gao Xi's safety, he didn't want to hurt Gao Xi on a wild ride, then his friend was too useless.
"I've been riding a horse for a while, it's actually a little hot, I took off my coat, I didn't expect that riding a horse would be so physically demanding." Ye Xiu was about to take off his clothes as he spoke, but was stopped by Gao Xi.
"Damn, didn't your instructor tell you that you can't take off your clothes on horseback when you were riding on the horse farm?" Gao Xi was really frightened, this Ye Xiu's identity is not ordinary, he is really injured, I'm afraid he will not only be psychologically unhappy, I'm afraid he will be targeted.
"I didn't say it, anyway, I wear the same clothes on the racecourse, and I haven't changed." Ye Xiu scratched his head and said.
"Never get dressed or undressed on a horse, lest the horse be frightened," Kinson said. There was a tourist who almost fell off his horse because he was frightened by wearing a raincoat on horseback. ”
"Then I'll get off the horse and change, you guys wait a minute." Ye Xiu jumped off the horse to change clothes, but was still stopped by Gao Xi.
"I don't know what kind of bullshit coach you met, you actually dare to stand behind the horse and change clothes, drunk. Never approach the back of the horse, some horses will kick and bite, if you want to communicate with the horse, then stroke the horse's neck and communicate with it. I haven't kicked it, but I've seen people get kicked, and they just got kicked on the back of another horse, but luckily it was just kicked on the upper, otherwise it would have been a big deal. "Gao Xi now finally understands how poor the quality of individual equestrian coaches in China is, and he doesn't say a lot of things that should be said, just like driving school coaches, just for the sake of exams, and many life-saving skills that should really be paid attention to will not be conveyed to students, and it is estimated that in their minds, those things may not be important.
"What if the horse goes berserk?" Ye Xiu took off his coat and rode back on the horse, at this time he had realized that he didn't understand a lot of things, so he had to consult Gao Xi and the others, lest he really encounter an accident and didn't know what to do later.
"If the horse is frightened and gallops, do not be afraid, the horse will slow down very quickly, and the horse's speed and endurance are limited, pull the horse's fork hard, and at the same time tighten the horse's belly with both legs, this is a signal for the horse to stop, remember, it is also available in normal times. If you can't hold it, pull a fork rope to make the horse spin. If there is no accident in the wild riding, do not let the horse run and stop, remember that the horse is not a machine, it is impossible to stop immediately when you pull the reins, there will be a buffer distance, in fact, the car is the same, Xiaoyezi you often drive should understand, if the car is too fast, even if you slam on the brakes, there will be a long distance of buffer. "Gao Xi knows this.
"Understood." Ye Xiu silently wrote it down, but how could it be so easy to ride wildly, he didn't take two steps and there was a problem, and when he saw a flower on the side of the road, he actually stretched out his mouth to eat it.
"Don't let the horse graze and drink too much water while walking, pull the reins so that the horse's head is high so that it can't graze, or hit the horse's buttocks hard with the reins to make it walk quickly." Jin Sen said to Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu tried his best to follow Jin Sen's words, and it was really much better.
There were no special problems for the next part of the road, but Gao Xi always felt that the pickup trucks in front were a bit of an eyesore, obviously a wild ride, but he had to drive, which made people feel a bit of a fly in the ointment. What's more, after arriving in the forest, there are some places where horses can pass, but cars may not be passable.
So he asked Jin Sen: "Jin Sen, why don't you buy some mules as an organizer, that thing is a good livestock that is born to carry things, in our country's people, many years ago mules were the main tools for carrying things, but now of course there are more cars, the road is easier to walk, and there are fewer mules." However, jade pickers still like to use mules in Hejiang, because many road cars can't drive into it at all, but mules are better to use. ”
Ye Xiu glanced at Gao Xi suspiciously, and said, "There are no mules that can be used to carry things on horses?" You have so many quartemas here that you can use as well. ”
Gossi shook his head and said, "Quarter horses are better suited for short-course sprint races, but their endurance can't be compared to that of mules. The purpose of the mule was to cross it because it has good stamina, although it is a little shorter, but it should be more stable, I think the horse is better to ride, but the mule is the best to pack things. ”
"I see." Ye Xiu nodded, after all, his background is different from Gao Xi, Gao Xi was born in a peasant family, not only has he seen mules, but he has also ridden, but Ye Xiu is different, he is from a prominent background, and when he is born, there will always be a vehicle to pick him up and drop him off, not to mention mules, horses are rare.
Later, when I grew up, I went to the horse farm to see horses.
"That's true, but I don't think I've seen a mule seller here, so I'll buy a few more if I have one." Jin Sen thought about it and said that he was actually one of the organizers.
"No mules? No, I've heard that there are mules in the United States. Gao Xi said suspiciously.
"There are mules in the United States, but we don't seem to have seen them here, so if you want to buy them, you have to go to the Great Rapids to see them. Hearing you say that, I'll find an opportunity to buy a few more mules, and I'll be more comfortable to carry. Kinson said.
"It's not just pack things, in fact, because mules are relatively rare in our country now. Some rich people from the countryside really want to experience mule riding, and after you buy it, you can let tourists play. Mules are not only safe, but also stable, making them ideal for the elderly. Gao Xi said with a smile. (To be continued......)
