Chapter 14 Learning to Ride a Horse

Every cowboy who is new to the ranch will try to tame Xiao Hei, but he has never been able to last 20 seconds on horseback, in the end, it is a wild horse, and he has a strong temperament.

But what I saw just now was really beyond the expectations of the two, it was too unexpected, Xiao Hei would also be close to people, and it was Yi who couldn't even ride a horse, could it be that this horse was specially prepared by God for Yi? I can't help but be surprised, there have been horse trainers who have tried before, brushing the horses every day to feed the horses, talking to the horses, and eating are all ready to be sent over to eat in the stable, but unfortunately they have not been able to get close to Xiao Hei for a long time, and Qin Yi has won Xiao Hei's favor after seeing him a few times!

"Yi, this is really amazing, Xiao Hei has never shown closeness to anyone, it seems that Xiao Hei is your own horse!" Ryan looked envious.

Ricky also looked at Xiao Hei with envy, although Xiao Hei has a strong temperament, but he is undoubtedly a good horse, he looks cool in black, a strong horse body, and the speed and endurance he usually shows, as long as he can be tamed, you will get a good horse. Qin Yi looked at the envious eyes of the two of them, and was proud in his heart, who are we afraid of if we have space.

"Ryan, teach me to ride a horse now, I'll ride Xiao Hei."

"Okay, Yi, but you'd better be careful." Ryan touched his chin, looked at Qin Yi, and then looked at Xiao Hei, okay, he took care of it by the side.

Qin Yi went to the small warehouse and took out a spare pair of saddles, water reins and sweat pads, and put on the little black under the guidance of Ryan, and after doing it, Ryan checked it again, and then instructed Qin Yi on horseback riding skills.

"First of all, standing in front of Black's left shoulder, facing the side behind the horse, this is the position. Yes, yes, that's it. The next thing is to get on the horse, grasp the reins and the stake head with your left hand, so that you can fix your body when you get on the horse, and grab the stirrup with your right hand, I'll show you, like this, do you see clearly? Yi, you can give it a try. ”

Qin Yi had already wanted to gallop on a horse, so he studied very carefully and seriously repeated Ryan's actions just now.

"Okay, good, Yi, you're doing a great job! Step firmly on the stirrup with your left foot, jump on the ground with your right foot, turn around and get on the horse, remembering not to sit firmly in the saddle after getting on the horse. Okay, Yi, now you can get on the horse and try it once. As he spoke, he stood beside Qin Yi and watched Qin Yi get on the horse.

Qin Yi followed Ryan's explanation, as soon as his right foot was forced, he got on the horse's back with a flick of his body, and sat down with his ass, Xiao Hei shook his head and snorted.

Ryan hurriedly grabbed the water reins: "Relax, Yi, step on the stirrups with both feet, the strength should be the same, and then sit up straight with your waist straight, don't sit too solid." ”

Qin Yi did what Ryan said carefully, and when he didn't get on the horse just now, Ryan explained that he didn't let him sit too hard, but as a result, the angle of sight on the horse changed, and Qin Yi forgot about it.

"Ryan, why can't you sit too hard?"

Seeing that Xiao Hei didn't continue to move, Ryan also let go of the water reins, and he was really startled when he saw Xiao Hei a little restless just now, "Get on the horse and sit down very firmly, the horse will know that you are a novice, so it will bully you." And Xiao Hei is a fierce horse that has not been tamed, so the reaction is even more intense. Fortunately, Xiao Hei is really close to you, if it were someone else, this would have been thrown off! ”

Qin Yi memorized these tips carefully, humbly found the shortcomings, straightened his waist, and balanced the stirrups with his feet, Qin Yi was a little urgent in his heart, "Ryan, can I ride Xiao Hei twice now?" ”

"I'll lead you around twice, and then I'll ride on your own when you're familiar with what it's like to ride a horse." As he spoke, Ryan stood beside the horse's neck and led Xiao Hei forward slowly.

Qin Yi doesn't force it, just hold it, the days are long, let's ride a horse and run hard after learning!

After walking two laps in the simple horse farm in front of the stable, Qin Yi was also familiar with the rhythm of horseback riding, Lane led Xiao Hei back, rode his brown horse, and rode side by side with Qin Yi, pointing Qin Yi from time to time, and after a while, he felt that Qin Yi had almost learned, so he took the jog.

"Yi, don't pull the reins so tightly, otherwise the horse won't know what you mean, you have to believe in the horse, it is your good partner, remember these and you will already be able to ride a horse."

Ryan smiled slightly, Qin Yi learned very quickly, and he worked hard, which made Ryan very satisfied, a smart and serious student, the teacher liked it very much. Qin Yi listened, relaxed and pulled the reins that were a little tight, and at the same time relaxed his body, feeling Xiao Hei's rhythm, sure enough, riding was not as awkward and tiring as just now.

"Yes, that's it, relax, trust your horse!"

"Ryan, can I run faster now?" Riding on horseback, the whole perspective is different, the surroundings become very novel, and running gives people a feeling of freedom, like a bird flying in the sky.

"Don't worry, Yi, you practice jogging more first, and then let Xiao Hei run fast after two days when you are completely familiar with it. When you run on a horse, lean forward slightly, and nothing else, remember this, it is enough to ride a horse and herd cattle in the pasture! ”

Qin Yi nodded slightly, imagining his heroic posture galloping on a horse, while Ryan was watching funny on the side, and he couldn't experience that feeling, he grew up on the back of a pony. After jogging two more laps, Qin Yi looked at the time, it was time for breakfast, and invited Ryan and Rickie to go to their house for breakfast together, the two refused with a smile, usually Ryan's family eats breakfast together, and Susie should have done it at this time.

Say goodbye to the two, ride Xiao Hei back to the main house, let Xiao Hei go to eat grass, Qin Yi went back to the house to make breakfast, the old one, homemade hamburgers, eat Qin Yi misses domestic food very much, bear with it, in another month, this side can almost be arranged, and then return to China. Take out a big duck pear from the refrigerator, put it on a plate, and hand it to Lai Pi, who is sleeping lazily on the sofa, smelling the sweetness, Lai Pi squinted on the sofa, stretched out his head and gnawed slowly.

Qin Yi looked speechless, Nima, who was so delicious and delicious, was too lazy to be like this!

Qin Yi nibbled on the hamburger with meat but not the amount, and his thoughts quickly turned to the improvement of pasture, the farm no longer grows crops, it is all changed to pasture, and in the future, it will be connected to expand the scale of cattle and sheep, and it will save trouble for unified management, and then think about it, is it okay to leave a little wheat and corn sorghum, these crops are poured with spiritual spring water, and it must be delicious to use them to make wine. But Europeans and Americans rarely drink liquor

Qin Yi doesn't just want to run a ranch, with the wonderful use of spiritual spring water, wine will definitely make a lot of money, this is a profiteering industry that can greatly increase his value, it is related to his big plan, as long as he has enough influence, he will take out the spirit grass and spirit fruit in the future, and he will not have to worry about being caught and sliced away all the time. After eating breakfast in a cranky thought, Qin Yi entered the space and took out the Spirit Yuan Grass Blood Spirit Fruit, intending to feed it to Xiao Hei, so that Xiao Hei would be smarter and stronger.

But Xiao Hei's body seems to be a lot bigger than a person, forget it, take another one, it's cheap!

Out of the space and about to go out, Laipi, who was originally confused, suddenly got up and ran to him, his two front paws grabbed Qin Yi's calves, and watched the Blood Spirit Fruit squeak.

"Damn, you're quick to react!" As he spoke, he patted Lai Pi's head, handed it a fruit, and went into the space to get a blood spirit fruit, leaving a fragrant Lai Pi, and went out to find Xiao Hei.

Walking to the grass in front of the door, Xiao Hei was grazing not far from the front on the right, and when he saw Qin Yi, he trotted over, stretching out the horse's head and rubbing Qin Yi's arm, staring at the fruit in Qin Yi's hand with cute big eyes. Pat the horse's face, take a fruit in his left hand, spread his palm flat and stretch it out to feed Xiao Hei, this method of feeding the horse was taught to him by Ruiqier when Qin Yi brushed the horse, so as not to feed the horse and get bitten on the hand.

The little black head was crooked, and he swallowed it after chewing it in two bites, and he didn't even vomit the kernel

Qin Yi thought for a while, put away the second fruit, and feed the Lingyuan Grass first, it can increase spiritual power, maybe Xiao Hei will become smarter after eating the Lingyuan Grass. The spirit grass was handed over, Xiao Hei ate it in two bites, Qin Yi took a look, Xiao Hei's eyes were shining, very spiritual, he seemed to be very happy, Qin Yi hurriedly handed over the fruit, Xiao Hei may have become smarter! Under Qin Yi's expectation, Xiao Hei chewed it twice casually and quickly swallowed it into his stomach, there was no surprise, or the kernels were all in his stomach.

Qin Yi rubbed his little black head, very helpless, still stupid little black!

In fact, Qin Yi didn't know, Xiao Hei's idea was different, the fruit was so delicious, even the kernel must be good, how could he throw it away, eat it together, it can't be wasted

Go back to the house and get a plate, go into the space to drop two drops of spiritual spring water, dilute the lower end and give it to Xiao Hei to drink, well, these should be smarter. Let Xiao Hei continue to eat grass, Qin Yi went back to the kitchen to clean up the tableware, cleaned and disinfected it, well, breakfast time is over, continue to practice horseback riding!

Came to the porch, shouted a word to Xiao Hei and beckoned, Xiao Hei who was eating grass immediately ran over, haha, it seems that he has really become smarter, and he can know that he is calling it.

Qin Yi is very satisfied, BMW has just grown up!

I rode a little black jogging in the racecourse in the morning, and then I increased my speed a little, and finally I ran the whole thing! Feeling the clatter of horses' hooves, watching the surrounding scenery retreat quickly, Qin Yi's mood became more unrestrained, the oncoming wind was blowing, and the whole person seemed to be about to fly, which was a feeling that driving could not be had at all.

After lunch, Qin Yi called Ryan, wanting to ride a horse to see the cowboy grazing, he was busy practicing a few days ago, and he didn't know how to ride a horse, so he didn't go to the depths of the ranch, and he didn't see the cattle and sheep in the depths of the pasture, today he learned to ride a horse, just go to see, take the opportunity to learn a few hands of ranch work, of course, it is better, although you don't have to herd by yourself, but since you have a ranch, you must always learn the skills of cowboys, so that you can better integrate into the cowboy group and adapt to life here.

Qin Yi rode Xiao Hei to the worker's room, and Lane's office was also here. There are more than 30 rooms in the workers' house, not far from the main house, where cowboys now live. There were also two similarly sized workers' houses, one in the west near the Rocky Mountain and the other in the north near the farm, and the pastures were too large to be managed and grazed in zones, otherwise the road would be too far. Sometimes an area is far away, and at night the cowboys also set up their tents directly and watch the cattle up close.

Rendezvous with Lane, the two rode to the pasture, ran for more than 30 minutes, the horses were sweating, and finally arrived at the pasture.

The scenery of grazing, Qin Yi appreciated it for the first time in reality, the black cattle were scattered and grazing, and the thigh-high alfalfa grass had small purple flowers, looking from a distance, it looked like a green carpet dotted with purple flowers.

Ryan introduced on the side: "Now the cattle in the pasture are all Angus cattle, you see, black hornless, not tall, but the slaughter rate is very good, Montana here are mostly this kind of beef cattle." ”

As he spoke, he took Qin Yi to the front of a cow, wanting Qin Yi to take a closer look.
