Alina is under the control of Tang Yao at the moment, training on the club's equestrian triathlon training ground.

I saw that in the training venue, there were more than a dozen different temporary design matching training obstacle bars for Tang Yao to control Alina's jumping movement.

Before each obstacle jump, elite equestrians move the obstacle in advance and improve their ability to perform on unfamiliar obstacle courses by changing the height and route of the obstacle as appropriate.

As a competition event of the Olympic Games, Wenhuai Lake Equestrian Club naturally has its own training venue for equestrian eventing, and the training facilities in it are all in line with the ability requirements of the sports horse racing to participate in the competition.

In fact, the venues and facilities of equestrian eventing held around the world are different, because of the limitations of environmental factors such as soil, grass, and venues, it is impossible to require the same venues for equestrian show jumping events around the world.

However, although the venues are different, in the final analysis, equestrian competitions are seen as a combination of people and horses, and the ability of people to control horses, as long as the equestrian athletes' basic skills are solid, the horses are healthy, the people and horses are one, and the competition is carried out according to the established route of the competition in the competition, and the rules of the competition are abided, there is no problem.

Therefore, for the athletes of the equestrian eventing, it is enough to use the ordinary training venue that meets the requirements of the competition facilities when training, and the difference is that the details of the training venue, such as road surfaces and obstacle facilities, are different from the competition, but the problem is not big, and the rest depends on how the athlete exerts his ability to combine with horse control on the spot.

After all, professional events will invite professional equestrian route designers to design the competition scene land, routes, obstacle standards, etc. according to the venue, to develop a race route and obstacles suitable for the participating horses, which largely offsets the gap in horses, so if the equestrian athletes in the competition do not score much, then the equestrians themselves can only be blamed.

Tang Yao's current training content is obstacle jumping, whether it is an ordinary person or an athlete, practicing equestrian and obstacle jumping is very important.

There is a saying that if a person riding a horse cannot control the horse to jump over even an ordinary obstacle, then the person can only say that he has ridden a horse, but he cannot say that he is a rider with equestrian skills.

Obviously, as a two-star rider registered with the International Equestrian Federation, Tang Yao's strength cannot be underestimated.

Fu Jun saw that Tang Yao, who was wearing a close-fitting equestrian uniform, although she couldn't see her figure, her pretty face that was serious and focused in training, coupled with her sassy and heroic posture when riding a horse, was really heroic.

"Miss Tang's equestrian skills are really good, and she has a grasp of the starting point, in my opinion, I'm afraid there are not many people in Shanyang who can compare to her, right?" Han Tianlin looked at Tang Yao, who had just crossed an obstacle, and praised loudly.

Fu Jun and the others listened, although they felt that Han Tianlin's words were a little exaggerated, but they didn't refute it much.

After all, Tang Yao's equestrian strength is really powerful, and Fu Jun visually measured that her starting point should be about 25 centimeters, which is a very powerful level.

In the eyes of many horse fans who love show jumping, show jumping is not just a sport competition, but also a science and an art.

The science is reflected in the athlete's ability to understand the center of gravity and angle of ascent, as well as to judge stride length and take-off point; The art is the style and talent that an athlete has to show when they are brave enough to take on a challenge, and how to maintain a good relationship with the racehorses, which is the only way to get the best of the sport.

If you want to explain the science and art of obstacle racing in detail, you have to look at the process of equestrians jumping over obstacles on horseback.

Because this is different from the high jumper high jumper, the human high jump, can go through countless training sessions, master their own physical condition, to determine the starting point, and at the same time control the body parts, to determine what posture to cross the obstacle railing.

Equestrians, on the other hand, are different because they have to control not only their own bodies, but also the horses underneath them.

Obviously, it is more difficult for the equestrian athlete to control, because even if there is a tacit understanding with the horse under him, it is not a brain and body that controls it after all, and if there is an abnormality in the horse under him during the race, and the equestrian cannot adjust, it is obvious that they can pass all the obstacles without penalty points, which is very rare.

This is more difficult than the dribbling ability and shooting footwork of football players who are talked about by fans, and the dribbling ability and projection skills of basketball players, because they can use their brains and muscle memory to control dead things like football and basketball, and make football and basketball listen to them.

Equestrians, on the other hand, cannot fully control the horses, and intelligent horses have their own minds, and it is difficult to completely conquer and control them, so that they can listen to the rider no matter what the situation.

Just like the obstacle jumping that Tang Yao was training, when a person saw something blocking in front of him, he would be physically and psychologically wary of jumping over, let alone a horse.

Therefore, it is difficult to get the horses to let their guard down and train them to jump over obstacles, and it is even more difficult to ensure that they do not commit foul plays, such as not touching obstacles, in equestrian competitions.

After all, even professional high jumpers compete in competitions, but they may not be able to guarantee that their brain-controlled bodies, which have been trained for many years, will not encounter obstacles in the competition, let alone horses with their own brains.

In jumping obstacles, it is important to find the right starting point to jump over the obstacles.

Because the rider is required to have precise control over the horse, but also the ability to judge distance, top riders will always keep their distance and the ideal starting point within 30 centimeters, while beginner riders may barely be able to control this distance to within 1 meter.

This is the difference between the top riders and the average rider, and controlling the starting point not only does not waste their time running, but also does not penalize the horse for hitting an obstacle when jumping because of the long starting distance.

In show jumping competitions in which top riders compete, many times, they lose the race because the top rider hits an obstacle penalty point.

Therefore, Han Tianlin praised Tang Yao's grasp of the jumping point, in Shanyang City, there are not many people who compare to her, Fu Jun and others did not object, and there are also reasons for this.

After all, if you control the starting point of the jumping obstacle to about 25 centimeters, anyone who can achieve this level is a top rider.

There are not many riders in the clubs in Shanyang City, and riders with this level of skill are even rarer.

Because every 1 centimeter of the starting point is close to the rider, in addition to the hard work he needs to train every day, he also has to have a certain amount of talent.
