In old Norwegian mythology, the gods were mounted on an eight-legged, thousand-mile Icelandic horse, which is used in many clubs in Iceland.
Icelandic horses are also often seen in modern legends.
Iceland has been plagued by pirates in modern history, and in the battle for the islands, Icelandic horses have been the best companions of knights, and the tradition of burial with Icelandic horses when heroes die has been maintained to this day.
For centuries, Icelandic horses have been the main means of transportation and agricultural animals. But from 1904 onwards, Icelandic horses were replaced by automobiles and gradually lost their usefulness.
Luckily, in the same year some horse lovers founded the Icelandic Horse Association, which has kept their pedigree alive.
Nowadays, Icelandic horses are used for riding and racing, and the only agricultural use is the annual sheep penning competition, where farmers ride horses and corral sheep in the highland pastures.
During the visit by Wang Bo and others, there was a horse riding and sheep performance, but at first it was an appetizer, and the two girls performed equestrianism.
Both girls had a beer mug in their hands, which was full of beer, and the foam was always level with the rim.
Then, they got on their horses and took their beer glasses, and began to perform an equestrian show with their glasses in hand.
During the whole process, not a drop of wine was spilled from the beer glass, which shows how balanced the two girls and how steady the horses' steps are.
At the end of the ten-minute show, two girls rode up to the crowd and handed out beer to two tourists.
Wang Bo and the others were the only yellow among these tourists, so a little girl with blonde hair gave him a glass of beer.
"I send you the wine of the harvest, and may God bless you with a good harvest in the days to come." The little girl has a sweet mouth.
Wang Bo took off a red Chinese knot from the doll's swaddling clothes and gave it to the girl, saying, "I hope that our gods will bless you with more and more superb equestrian skills, and at the same time you will become more and more beautiful." ”
The little girl smiled merrily when she got the bow, she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and it was when the girl was innocent, and after dismounting she ran to find another girl to show off.
The two horses were left unattended for a while, and the two of them looked at each other, and they rushed together to do it.
One tourist exclaimed, "Is this also a performance project?" ”
One of the tour guides was confused: "No, it's not, but Fasi are docile, and they don't usually fight." ”
Fasi is the local nickname for Icelandic horses, which means 'eye-catching mane', because this type of horse has a thick, slender mane.
They were indeed docile, and the two girls hurried over and reached out to take hold of their reins, and the two horses fell silent.
Wang Bo pinched the girls in a cold sweat, the dwarf of Icelandic horses is relative, after all, they belong to large animals, if they accidentally touch them with their hooves, they will at least be seriously injured!
Seeing that the two girls easily controlled the Icelandic horses in the fight, he became even more interested in this kind of horse.
The tourists rested for a while, and some cowboys came up to perform horseback riding and sheep riding, Wang Bo was not interested, his ranch had more exciting horseback riding and horsebacking, that was the real technical work.
At the end of the sheep riding performance, the guide took the tourists to a small fence with a lot of fine sand on the land, and the guide opened the door and said, "Children are allowed to enter here and play sheep wrestling." ”
Icelanders are more fierce in this regard, and sheep wrestling is a game where children and lambs wrestle, which is dangerous, because children may be trampled by sheep when they fall.
However, the feet of these sheep are covered with soft rubber, which reduces their ability to move and prevents them from hurting the child if they step on it.
There were four children in the same group, exactly two boys and two girls, but the parents of the three children blocked them, and they couldn't get in.
Little Lori snorted, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Isn't it just that you fell this little lamb?" Look at me! ”
Bo's mother hurriedly grabbed her: "Ouch, my little aunt, what are you doing?" ”
Eva shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's safe, if Dale likes it, let her have fun." ”
Little Lori walked in, stepped on the fine sand to familiarize herself with the environment, and then accelerated violently and ran towards the lamb.
The lambs have been trained, they often carry out such exercises, and they also have experience, so they immediately lowered their heads and aimed their heads at the little Lori, not to be outdone, to attack.
At this moment, there was a crisp eagle's cry in the air, and then a strong wind blew in his face, and Xiao Meng, who was flying in the sky, suddenly plunged down, stretched out his claws and was about to attack the sheep.
It thought that the sheep was attacking little Lori, and hurried to protect her.
Now not only tourists, but also tour guides and farm farmers and cowboys are confused: where is such a fierce eagle?
When Wang Bo heard the eagle's cry, he hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Meng, come back!" ”
His shout was timely enough, but the speed of Xiao Meng's dive was really shocking, and it heard Wang Bo's voice not tear the little lamb, but cut it to the ground, and then spread its wings and flew to Lao Wang with a strong wind.
"Huh", there was a crisp sound, and the sand on the ground flew up.
Wang Bo hugged Xiao Meng and handed it to Eva, Xiao Meng made a cooing sound in his throat, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he stared at the lamb.
The poor lamb was already frightened, and without the little loli to throw it, he fell to his knees in the sand.
The little sheep was so cowardly, and the little Lori was even less afraid, she dragged the little sheep and shouted: "Get up, I'm going to knock you down!" Hurry up, wrestle with me! ”
The cowboys had to change to another lamb, and someone approached Eva curiously, looked at Xiao Meng and asked, "What kind of bird is this?" Why is it so obedient? ”
Eva smiled politely, "This is a mutated Hayabusa, very intelligent. ”
Xiao Meng's appearance changed the attention of tourists, and no one paid attention to Xiao Lori's falling sheep, and they were all looking at Xiao Meng.
In this way, the fence was lively, and the three children took advantage of their parents' attention to Xiao Meng and didn't pay attention to themselves, so they got rid of their hands and ran in, and dealt with Xiao Lamb with Little Lori.
So some hugged their heads, some dragged their tails, and some wanted to ride on them, and the little lamb was tossed very miserably: what about the one-on-one that was promised? Ma Dan, this is a cheap wheel!
What is the difficulty of four children against a lamb, knocking down the lamb, the four of them smiled proudly at their parents, regardless of the sand on their faces.
Seeing that there was no danger, the parents of the three children did not dissuade them anymore, but raised their cameras one after another to take pictures.
At the end of the visit, there is also a farmhouse feast, which is actually a big pot dish, but it is branded as pure natural and pollution-free organic vegetables and pure meat, so it is still a little tempting for tourists.
Wang Bo went to the cowboy and said, "Hello man, you have a boss who wants to sell the foal, right?" I'm interested. ”
Upon hearing this, the cowboy nodded and said, "Sir, come with me." ”
