Quart's horses are great at short sprints, but they are average at long distances, and they need to be given plenty of rest when riding them.

Of course, if you just want to enjoy the thrill of a sprint across a horse, the Quarter horse is the right choice.

From early morning riding until nine o'clock, when the sun began to burn, Polly wiped his sweat and said, "All right, guys, we had better get here for the time being, the horses are a little tired, let them go and rest." ”

From six o'clock to the present, excluding the halfway break, the quatts have been running for two and a half hours, and their bodies have become sweaty, and when they wipe them with their hands, their palms will be full of sweat.

Qin Shiou jumped off the horse, reached out and patted Frederick's buttocks, letting it trot and relax.

Mao Weilong also let go of his red-haired steed, walked over and asked, "How is it, is it cool to ride a horse?" ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, it's just that it hurts to ride too much." ”

Mao Weilong looked at his legs with strange eyes, and said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, your butt won't hurt tomorrow." ”

Qin Shiou didn't understand his words, and said proudly: "Of course, buddy's recovery ability is so strong, you don't need tomorrow, it's no problem tonight." ”

The two chatted as the horses roamed freely around the farm, and when they reached a field of wheat, they began to eat among the green wheat seedlings.

Mao Weilong was anxious, and hurriedly ran over to drive a few horses away, Qin Shiou said: "You just let them bite a few bites, why are you so stingy?" How much wheat can these horses eat? ”

"You know, I sprayed pesticides on the wheat fields just two days ago, and they don't need to eat many wheat seedlings. I have to pull the intestines out today. Mao Weilong said angrily.

Polly helped bring a few horses over, and then taught Qin how to wipe the horses' sweat. "When your partner is sweating, remember to wipe it for him. Otherwise, they are susceptible to colds, and of course summer is better, but some good habits have to be formed, right? ”

Qin Shiou nodded in agreement, took a towel and wiped Frederick's body, and soon a towel became wet, and he didn't see that the horse was sweating so much.

Winnie smiled and said to Polly while scrubbing her horse, "I can see that you are a horse lover, Black Pearl is well taken care of by you, I can feel her vitality when I ride on her." ”

Polly laughed, "Yes." I love horses, in fact, my first job as an adult was as a horse trainer, and then I opened a horse farm for a while, but unfortunately the financial pressure was too great, and it eventually closed. ”

Mao Weilong added: "Poli's ranch has the most horses in the town, he is a horse breeder, and the four horses I bought are the ones he selected for me, and they are all good horses, aren't they?" ”

Listened to this. Polly was a little depressed, and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to learn from old Weber, there are a lot of horses in the pasture, and it's better to sell a few." Otherwise my credit card is a bit unbearable. ”

In Canada, it is more troublesome to get a horse seriously than a car. Horses need to be taken care of. They are prone to illness if they are not well cared for, and hiring a veterinarian to treat horses is quite expensive.

Other than that. Horses are fed grass every day, and vegetables such as soybeans and carrots are fed at intervals to supplement their nutrition. It's also quite costly.

Especially this year, the price of forage in Canada has risen, because of the snowstorm last winter, many pastures froze to death and frostbite, and the development of grass seeds in the ground is not good.

Qin Shiou wanted to comfort Polly, but there was nothing suitable to say, Polly's economic situation was obviously not very good, otherwise he would not have to slaughter cattle and sheep by himself and risk being punished by the IRS and the Health Bureau to make a small profit.

Winnie showed an interested expression and asked, "Polly, do you want to sell the horse?" How many do you want to sell? ”

Polly sighed: "I have twenty-two horses now, and the ranch can afford fourteen or fifteen at most, and I have to sell seven or eight." ”

Mao Weilong quietly asked Qin Shiou: "Do you want to play with horses?" Raise a few horses, now is a good time to buy horses, this year the forage harvest is poor, the economic situation is poor, the price of ordinary horses has dropped to the lowest point in the last five years. ”

Qin Shiou doesn't care about the price, but he doesn't like to ride a horse very much, maybe because he has been in contact with the ocean for too long, he prefers to drive a boat to deal with the ocean, and he has a car on land, and riding a horse can only be regarded as a little pastime.

Buying two horses for indifferent pastime? Qin Shiou felt that it was better to forget it, he could buy a car, but he didn't want to buy a horse, a horse was a living thing and needed to be taken care of all the time, and he didn't have so much spare time.

Moreover, he had been riding the horse for a while, and he was quite looking forward to it before riding, but after the novelty passed, he felt that it was nothing.

In this way, he shook his head and signaled that Mao Weilong was not interested.

Covini seemed very interested, and she asked Polly, "Seven or eight horses?" How old are they? What breed? How much do you want to sell it for? ”

Hearing Winnie say this, Polly understood what she meant, and said overjoyed, "Are you interested, Madame Qin?" They are all quarthorses, between the ages of four and twelve, although there is no pedigree certificate, but Mao knows, I am a good horse, and the price is good. ”

The current economic situation in the horse market is similar to that of Canada as a whole, it is quite sluggish and may continue to be sluggish, so it is best to deal with the horses as soon as possible.

Mao Weilong looked at Qin Shiou, who had no choice but to shrug his shoulders again and said, "It's good that Winnie is happy, she can buy it if she wants." ”

Winnie smiled at his words and said, "No, I didn't buy it, it was needed by the town." Didn't you say that our tourism has hit a bottleneck? We had a meeting last week and it would be nice to broaden the tour route and add an old medieval horse-drawn carriage project. ”

Qin Shiou suddenly said that bidding farewell to the town can indeed add a horse-drawn carriage sightseeing project, the town area is relatively large, and the carriage can run away. The selling point of the town now is its quaintness, which retains a lot of 18th and 19th century style buildings, and it is indeed unique with old-fashioned horse-drawn carriages.

Horse-drawn carriage sightseeing is a traditional part of Canadian tourism, but not in St. John's, a port city with uneven terrain and mediocre traffic, which is even worse if there are horse-drawn carriages entering the traffic.

However, other cities have related projects, such as in the tourist hotspot of Montreal city "Old Town", horse-drawn carriage sightseeing is a classic project that has lasted for many years, some tourists and Malaysia take pictures, and some take a horse-drawn carriage to walk around the old city for dozens of minutes, listening to the coachman explain the history, very popular.
