Along the way, the two little girls laughed and laughed all the way to the small town of Maryville in the west of Helena, and the destination of this trip, Ascona Horse Farm, is located in the suburbs of Maryville.

This horse farm was recommended by Julie, Qin Yi searched for information on the Internet, found the phone number of the horse farm, called it at that time, and agreed to come and see the horse today. When he came in the morning, he called the horse farm again and confirmed the itinerary for the day.

When I was about to arrive at the racecourse, I saw an old white pickup truck parked on the side of the road leading to the racecourse, and a fat white old man faced this side, thinking that it was the racecourse reception staff waiting for his group.

When he came to the front, he asked the women and children not to get out of the car, and Qin Yi came out alone to greet the fat old man in the United States.

"Mr. Qin?" Before Qin Yi could speak, the fat old beauty asked first, seeing Qin Yi nodded, his smile became brighter and brighter, he stretched out his hand to meet him, and shook it vigorously, "Hello, Mr. Qin!" I'm a horse farm owner, you can call me Marven! ”

"Hello! Marven, let's go see the foals now? Qin Yi didn't want to waste time, although this old man looked kind and had a warm smile, his little eyes were shrewd, and Qin Yi didn't want to talk to him.

"Why not!" Marven raised his finger and pointed to the white fence that could be seen faintly in the distance, twisting his fat body towards his old pickup, "Come with me, let's go see the sturdy foal!" ”

Qin Yi got into the car and followed Marven to the racecourse.

When I really entered the professional horse farm and looked around, several people had a more specific understanding of these things that they had not been exposed to.

I saw a circle of white fences, which enclosed the pasture into many boxes, in which dozens of adult horses and foals were kept separately in captivity, mostly with chestnut fur and black fur, or grazing leisurely. Or trot and play, and there are two strong horses playing and biting!

It seemed that it was two stallions, and they didn't know how to get together, and a few people who were supposed to be horse trainers or horse boys hurriedly ran over, separated and calmed down for a while.

Angel and Becky, who were in the car, looked curiously at the thoroughbred horses around them, and it was very strange to see the horses fighting for the first time.

Unlike grazing horses in pastures, thoroughbreds are more active. It's easier to get excited, and the body is excited. They are good gentlemen in the stable, but when they get out of the stable and come to the track, or even step on the grass, they will become very excited, and there is an urge to run with hooves.

Following Marven to stop the car, everyone couldn't wait to set foot on the land of the professional horse farm.

Qin Yi glanced at Marven, this fat horse owner must have also seen the two horses fighting. Now he doesn't seem to care, it seems that such things happen often, it's no wonder!

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties walked over. The stature is a little short, but the whole person looks excited. Emotions are energetic. Marven greeted him, then turned around and introduced to Qin Yi: "Mr. Qin, this is our horse trainer. Djibouti. ”

Qin Yi greeted Djibouti and listened to Marven's introduction, he was one of the three horse trainers in the horse farm. I have been working at Marvin's horse farm for more than ten years.

Looking at the scenery that was completely different from the ranch, several people looked at it curiously, especially Angel and Becky, whose little heads kept turning. Seeing that they were interested in this, Marven did not rush to choose horses, but led them to visit the horse farm.

Qin Yi and his entourage took a look and found that there was a big difference between a professional horse farm and a ranch, the buildings were more elaborate on collocation, and the whole layout was more orderly and standardized. The offices and housing of the racecourse are beautiful villa-like buildings, and the horses, training grounds, and training base are all located among trees and grass, connected by forest paths, and look like a garden.

Along the way, Marven also introduced his horse farm.

This is the Marvin family's horse farm, from a small horse farm of about a dozen thoroughbred horses of his grandfather's generation, after decades of development, it has become a medium-sized horse farm with more than 40 stallion mares and more than 20 foals.

According to him, the farm has three stables, a training ground, a feed warehouse, well-equipped, supporting management procedures, with archives, with horse trainers, horse children, breeders and other staff 18, all of whom are all-rounders.

The dozens of horses in the horse farm are initially trained by three trainers, and if the foals have more potential, they are sent to the refuge. The stables are trained more professionally and then sent to the competition.

Marvin's horse farm is not in tune. The stables are only owned by large horse farms or racecourses. The stable must not only have some top-notch supporting facilities, but also have the industry's top horse trainers in charge, and the capital cost required is very high.

After walking around the horse farm and satisfying his curiosity, Qin Yi decided to start choosing horses, he also wanted to buy a thoroughbred horse before noon and return to the ranch in the afternoon.

"Marven, take us to see the two-year-old horse."

Traditionally, foals are born in May or June of each year, and by January 1st, they are automatically considered one year old, so buy a two-year-old now and compete in a three-year-old horse next year.

"Okay, Yi, come with me."

took Qin Yi and them around, and the two sides chatted a little, and Marven felt more familiar, so he called his name directly. Qin Yi didn't care, anyway, he left after buying the foal, maybe he wouldn't deal with it in the future, whatever he called it.

First of all, Marven took everyone to watch the stallions, after all, if the stallions and mares perform better, the foals can also give people more confidence.

"Yi, come and see, those are the stallions of our horse farm." Marven casually pointed to a few places, where a few sturdy stallions were scattered in several meadows, roaming around, as if patrolling their territory.

The horse trainer Djibouti took the opportunity to explain on the side, and some of the characteristics of the stallion, speed, physique, muscle distribution and other information are very detailed.

Of course, Qin Yi didn't know much about what he said, after all, he was not a professional, so he didn't know much about it, so he took a general look at it, and asked Marven to take it to choose a two-year-old horse.

The little girl was held by Chloe and Sousa one by one, her eyes widening as she looked at the few months old foals.

The foal was still very lively, running around and jumping around, and only bowed his head to graze when he was tired, and it looked very fun, and the two little girls looked at the foal most of the time, as if they wanted to take one home to play.

But they were very well-behaved, knowing that the adults were doing things, sitting in their arms, just looking quietly, and not speaking.

Qin Yi and the others followed Marven to a pasture near the stable, where more than a dozen two-year-old horses were grazing with their heads bowed.

"Yi, this is our two-year-old horse, except for the black one, and the brown one here, you can choose which one you like." Marven white radish like a thick finger tapped twice, pointing out two horses, it seems that the horse farm values these two horses very much.

Qin Yi observed, these two horses were indeed a little different, everyone looked at them, they were also eating grass, while staring at this side, their eyes flashed with curiosity, it seemed that they felt that Qin Yi and them were a little unfamiliar.

Qin Yi nodded, these are two very spiritual horses.

However, Marven was nervous about these two horses, but he didn't think there was anything, not to mention Xiao Hei, several other mares in the ranch who had drunk the spiritual spring water all threw them off!

Qin Yi doesn't have many requirements, as long as he is strong and resolute.

Djibouti knows these horses very well, each horse likes what flavor of feed, what kind of concentrate ratio, what kind of temperament is very clear, he can give a very detailed introduction to a horse with a finger, it seems that more than ten years of horse trainer work is not in vain!

With Djibouti's introduction, Qin Yi quickly took a fancy to two horses, they were tall and strong, they had a record of performance on weekdays, they ran very hard, and their temperament was also good, if there was no accident, they would choose one of them.

"Are all two-year-olds here?" Qin Yi felt that they should all be here, but he still asked in passing. (To be continued......)
