000173 Horseback riding

Hearing that Xiao Yifei was going out of the winery, Wang Nan, who was impatient and had been waiting in the tasting room for a long time, had to follow. Xiao Yifei could only take two followers to the opposite horse farm.

"This land is so desolate, is this yours? Why didn't you plant anything? ”

"It's better to be desolate, I'm going to slaughter you and bury you here."

Wang Nan grabbed a small pebble and smashed it over, Xiao Yifei hurriedly dodged away, and the black nose thought that the two of them were going to play with it, and they also ran around.

"Don't make trouble, this is a horse farm, it's not good for you to scare the horses if you make too much trouble."

"Horses? Do you still have horses? What do you do with horses in a winery? Arable land? ”

Wang Nan immediately transformed into "100,000 whys", and this woman's curiosity was too strong. What about the cultivated land, you think I'm Bart of the Arojou winery, what kind of retro flow, not to mention the late ripening of the grapes compared to others, the yield is abnormally low. However, the price of that wine made Xiao Yifei salivate.

"I just bought it, and I don't know what I can do with it."

"Wow, what a beautiful horse."

After Wang Nan finished speaking, he immediately took out his camera and clicked at those horses.

The little white foal saw Xiao Yifei coming again, and ran over in a hurry. Xiao Yifei pulled another handful of alfalfa grass, and the foal ate the grass with a roll of his tongue. Xiao Yifei reached out and touched its head and helped it comb its forehead.

Black-nosed is short, lying on the fence on his two front legs, looking at the foal with his neck outstretched. The foal is also interested in the shorter guy and looks down at it.

Then something even more drastic happened, when the foal actually stuck out his tongue to lick Blacknose, and Blacknose stuck out his tongue to lick it. I'll go, do you two want to be so affectionate, is it really true that crossing races is true love?

Xiao Yifei hurriedly "beat the mandarin duck". He bends down and pulls a handful of grass to distract the foal. Wang Nan was also interested, and reached out and pulled a handful of grass. Hand it to the foal. The foal shrugged at her and turned to run. The black nose burrowed under the wooden bar. wanted to chase the foal, but unfortunately was restrained by the dog leash, and turned back to Xiao Yifei and whined.

Xiao Yifei saw Wang Nan deflated, and laughed happily:

"I guess you don't even have the status of a black nose in its mind."

was so angry that Wang Nan threw the grass on Xiao Yifei's head, and Xiao Yifei was willing to suffer, so he also pulled a handful and sprinkled his head. Hearing the commotion, the foal turned around and looked curiously at the two two-legged monsters. I don't understand why they are making a fuss with their own food.

"Boss, you're here."

When Xiao Yifei turned around, it turned out to be Lawrence who was in charge of the horse farm:

"yes, I'm going to take a look at the horses."

"Boss, you like them so much, do you want to ride them?"

Horseback riding?

Hearing that he was going to ride a horse, Xiao Yifei was still hesitating, and Wang Nan was so excited that he almost jumped up, staring at Xiao Yifei with his eyes, as if he dared to say a word, she was about to pounce and bite.

Yes. Then ride a horse, anyway, there are few of them, and they can send out red envelopes in less than ten minutes.

Xiao Yifei thought he was riding a horse outside. Who knew that Lawrence actually took them to the stable. There are two indoor training grounds in the stable, where the horses usually train, and the outside is just a free-range area.

When they arrived at the training ground, a female rider she had never seen before was training, and she saw the Arabian horse under her control, changing her pace from time to time to the rhythm of the music, sometimes walking briskly, sometimes slowly. One moment with a leg raise, another with a trot. In the middle, there are also diagonal and backward steps. No matter what state the horse was, the female knight above always sat straight. With a smile on his face.

When the music finally ended, Xiao Yifei couldn't help clapping his hands, but Wang Nan was very alert and took a lot of photos just now.

"Boss, this is our jockey Sofia, she was sick and took a leave of absence the other day, this is the first time I have met the boss. Sophia, this is the new boss Shaw. ”

No wonder, he saw that there seemed to be 7 people on the staff list of the racecourse, and he only saw 6 last time he came. When Xiao Yifei shook hands with Sophia, he looked at her as if she was sullen and asked curiously:

"What's the matter, Sophia, what's the problem?"

Lawrence explained on the side:

"Boss, there are still some problems with the cooperation between Sophia and the horses just now."

"Oh, if there is a problem with cooperation, then practice more, and if you practice more, there will be no problem."

Lawrence sighed:

"Boss, this is not something that practice can solve."

"What's going on?"

Sophia stopped Lawrence:

"I'll tell you. It's because I don't want horses to suffer. ”

Xiao Yifei was even more puzzled, didn't he say that dressage must be one, and the horses must be happy, what is suffering?

However, after their explanation, Xiao Yifei knew that this dressage looked good, but in order to achieve good results, the training process was a double torture for the horse. (This can be seen in the controversy over Totilas, which earns 14 million euros a year from breeding, arguably the best dressage horse in the world.) It is said that there are also equestrian enthusiasts who have called for a boycott of equestrian performances at the London 2012 Olympics because of this excessive bending of training. )

And whether it is old George Roger, or Lawrence, and the Sophia in front of him, they are all horse lovers, and they are reluctant to abuse horses so much, so the Arabian horses in the horse farm have never been able to produce good results, and because of some arrogant horses, occasionally horses will have problems with the knight.

"It's okay, I said it, I haven't seen the loss of the racecourse, so let's just do it. Doesn't it mean that Arabian horses have strong endurance, let's not take the road of dressage, let's take endurance racing. ”

"Well, boss, our field isn't big enough for enduro."

I go, more than 50 acres of land is not enough for endurance training?

"Then I don't have any tricks, and there is no big land nearby to buy. Yes, with such a high land price, it is definitely not cost-effective to buy a horse farm. We can only wait to find a large territory outside in the future, and maintain the status quo now. ”

Lawrence and Sophia were relieved when they heard Xiao Yifei's words, they were afraid that the new boss would want to turn a profit as soon as possible, and if he wanted to use that cruel training method, then they would be very uncomfortable.

Lawrence hurriedly said:

"Boss. Don't you want to ride a horse, this one is good, and it has a very docile personality. ”

"Forget it. Let's change it, it's tired from training for so long. ”

Sophia led the horse to the stockyard. And brought back two more batches, and the mother of the foal was among them. Xiao Yifei and Wang Nan wore good gear under the guidance of Lawrence.

Next, Xiao Yifei and Wang Nan started their first horseback riding experience in their lives under the guidance of Lawrence and Sophia.

"Arabian horses are very alert and very protective of themselves, so you have to communicate with them before you get on them. Determine if it's ready to get on the horse. ”

Xiao Yifei rolled his eyes, please don't say that the theory is good, how to communicate with it, do you come to its ear and ask: Sister Ma, I want to ride you, okay?

Fortunately, Lawrence then showed him how to touch the horse's neck, and the horse looked back at him, and the horse took the initiative to adjust a few steps.

"Look, so it's ready. It's time to get on the horse. Be resolute when you get on the horse, these are trained horses, they don't run around. In addition, the Arabian horse is only 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder, so you can rest assured that you can get on the horse boldly. ”

I saw that he kicked on his hind legs, and he sat on the back of the horse with a quick movement.

"Look, if you don't give it instructions, it won't go, so don't be nervous, if you are nervous, the horse's emotions will also be infected."

He jumped off his horse. motioned for Xiao Yifei to come too.

Xiao Yifei learned his movements and touched the horse's neck. The horse looked back at him as if he was surprised. Why did that person come down again just now, and there was a different person.

Xiao Yifei helped it comb its forehead, and he thought that the bangs of the Arabian horse were too good-looking. The mane is too, so it feels so smooth to the touch. The horse didn't wait for anyone to come up for a long time, and then turned to look at him. At the same time, the towering tail is still wagging around.

"Boss, it's ready."

Xiao Yifei looked at the horse, put his left leg on the stirrup, and tried to use some force. There is only a dressage saddle in the racecourse, and this thing does not have the stake head of the western saddle, and there is no place to borrow strength from the hands, and the horses are all on the ground with their legs. Fortunately, the Arabian horse is not high, and Xiao Yifei kicked his right leg and sat down.

The horses are still standing firmly.

"Okay, you can adjust your center of gravity a little now, you can shake the reins lightly, and it will go on its own. Don't do anything else, he won't speed up, and when he gets to the edge of the field, it will automatically turn, and you will let it take you for a while. ”

Dizzy, this is really good training, you don't have to move anything, it's more convenient than an automatic car.

Sure enough, the horse was so smart that he walked slowly and smoothly in the field.

"You don't have to put your feet in the stirrups, yes, that's it, relax, let's experience it first."

After two laps, Xiao Yifei found some sense.

"It's that simple?"

Xiao Yifei thought it was incredible.

Wang Nan from the opposite venue also said:

"yes, I can ride a horse."

At this time, I don't know what Xiao Yifei did, the horse actually began to raise his legs high, this action The ups and downs of the horse's back were relatively large, Xiao Yifei was so frightened that he immediately lay on the horse, hugged the slender neck of the Arabian horse, and his legs were tightly clamped around the horse's belly. The horse, as well as being trained, immediately stopped raising his legs and changed to a slow pace again.

"Don't be afraid, it's very smart, it will not only protect itself, but also the knight, sit down with confidence."

Next, Xiao Yifei began to properly control the horse's turning, and after a while, the horse began to raise its legs high again, Xiao Yifei did not panic this time, relying on his good balance ability, and tried to sit as straight as possible on the saddle.

Lawrence, who was in the middle of the field, praised uncontrollably:

"Yes, that's it, steady."

I don't know if it's a horse or a person.

Xiao Yifei's horse began to raise its legs high, and the horse on Wang Nan's side also began to raise its legs, which frightened Wang Nan is discoloration, just like Xiao Yifei started, hugging the horse's neck tightly, and she didn't dare to let go until the horse stopped completely.
