After breakfast, Wen Ying changed into white breeches, a dark shirt, and riding boots.

Gu Xier said: "Equestrian helmets and equestrian gloves are a must. ”

The servants lead the horses from the stables to the tethering room, put on the halters, assemble the saddles, tie the leggings, and lead the horses to the horse training grounds.

Wen Ying said: "I learned to ride a horse at the age of fourteen. Although there are a lot of somersaults, the joy of flying is still dreaming of it. It's been a long time since I've ridden a horse. ”

Gu Xier said: "Let you ride every day in the future." ”

Wen Ying squinted her eyes and said shyly: "What are you talking about......"

Gu Xier's innocent face: "What's wrong with letting you ride every day." ”

Wen Ying diverted the topic: "I haven't ridden for a long time, I'm a little rusty, you teach me." ”

Gu Xier: "Hmm." ”

This red horse has a long mane that is scattered.

Wen Ying holds the reins in front of the Elder Armor with her left hand, rotates the stirrup clockwise with her right hand, and steps into the stirrup with her left foot.

Equestrian is a challenging competitive sport, but it's no longer exclusively for men. The posture and strength of the women on the horse farm are also not to be underestimated.

The toes of the Warm Shadow are located underneath the belly strap.

Gu Xier said: "Press down and don't go too deep into the ventral side of the horse. Rotate your body to face the horse, and place your right hand on the outside of the saddle or on the front bridge of the saddle. ”

Wen Ying jumped up slightly, straightened her knees, stepped over her right foot, and quickly put her right foot into the stirrup, holding the reins in both hands.

Gu Xiyi: "Very good!" ”

He personally adjusted Wen Ying's stirrups.

Gu Xier looked at Wen Ying on horseback: "The most commonly used is to hold a single rein." ”

As he spoke, he demonstrated, the reins passed directly between the ring and little fingers of the palm, and then through the palm of the hand over the index finger, and the thumb pressed against it. The ring finger controls the point of focus of the reins,

"It's very important that it's the joint closest to the palm of the hand, and the other fingers hold the reins securely but not stiffly. This way of holding the reins prevents the reins from slipping off the palm. ”

Wen Ying nodded.

Gu Xier said: "I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the venue first. This gives you more control over the horse's route. ”

"Okay."

Gu Xier led the horses, and Wen Ying sat in the back.

The scene is somewhat familiar.

Gu Xier said: "You can ride a horse slowly, and each step of slow steps has four beats, which is the "four-beat step". Each step is evenly beaten, and you count "one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four" on horseback. ”

Wen Ying chattered: "One-two-three-four~One-two-three-four~"

Gu Xier said: "Starting from the establishment of balance, the horse is driven slowly forward with the power urged by the legs, and the hands move with the movement of the horse's head and neck. Clamp the sides of the horse with your legs and keep your body upright. ”

Occasionally, when he turned around, he still had a kind of aristocratic dignity.

Gu Xier said: "Are you listening to me?" ”

Wen Ying: "Listening. ”

Gu Xier said: "Then I'll let it go, you try." ”

Wen Ying has her own skills, and it is not a problem at all to come down in a circle.

She returned to the starting point and asked Gu Xier: "Why is equestrianism called an aristocratic sport?" ”

Gu Xier replied: "It's not that this thing is noble, that's why people pursue them as an aristocratic movement." Rather, because they were time-consuming, cumbersome, and expensive, they were chosen by the aristocracy as a symbol of their status. Take cufflinks as an example, this thing is uncomfortable and inconvenient to carry. Why do nobles bring it? Because it was designed for the servants to wear for you. Didn't wear it yourself. Why go to the bathroom of many old houses in Europe. are designed to be extremely anti-human. Hot and cold water is not directly connected to the bathtub, so anti-human, why not transform? And a good bath is a big four-legged basin in the middle of the house, can't you put it against the wall? Because when the bathroom was designed, I didn't think about the aristocracy getting the bath water for themselves. He designed it so that it was convenient for the servants to serve the master. It's the same with equestrianism. In fact, knights are responsible for their horses, which is the core of chivalry. ”

Wen Ying remembered the Erha she once raised.

Many horses are actually just like Erha, silly funny.

In fact, horses have a limited IQ.

It's an enlarged version of the dog, and when I watch the TV series, I think the horse can understand the command, but that's actually the result of training.

Repeat the training.

More importantly, bullying the soft and fearing the hard is the common nature of horses, which is why Wu Zetian was able to tame the lion back then.

I remember when I was a child, Gu Qingcheng took Wen Ying to the horse farm to ride a horse, there was a horse that belonged to Wen Ying, when I saw it, it was very rare, and I hung a gold medal on it, but every time I gave it a horse to chew, it always used Wen Ying on top of its nose, so that Wen Ying had to avoid its snot and saliva every time.

Once Gu Qingcheng saw Wen Ying's embarrassment, and yelled directly at Wen Ying: "Something that has no interest, let a horse bully!" ”

Then she slapped the horse's side face with her bare hand and yelled at the horse: "Stop! ”

At that moment, a miracle happened, one moment he was like an uncle, and the next moment he was cowering!

Wen Ying understood when she was a child: even horses are afraid of their mother!!

Seeing that Wen Ying didn't speak, Gu Xier turned around again: "What do you think?" ”

Wen Ying came back to his senses: "I miss me when I was a child." ”

She picked up Gu Xier's words again: "This equestrian actually has no productive effect. Their cultivation and training are all for fun, but they consume a lot of financial and material resources. is similar to the ancient princes and nobles raising drama troupes. The troupe can't pick or lift it on their shoulders, and it's entertainment to keep it. So this movement is not so much an aristocratic movement as a movement to show that I am an aristocrat or a powerful and rich man. It is an extremely elegant screening tool or stepping stone. Only you start playing these expensive games, you can afford them. It proves that you have the strength to step into the circle of the spire. With the passage of time, these games have become a continuation of the wealth of power because they have been tainted with power wealth, bringing a halo. It became a "noble" game. For example, even if you are a waiter, there is no shortage of people who meet nobles who have reached the pinnacle of life as a junior brother in the racecourse. ”

Gu Xier: "Just like the ancient Chinese aristocracy wore long nails to show nobility, the aristocrats flaunted their superiority in living a luxurious life without engaging in productive activities. ”

Wen Ying: "Hmm. ”

Gu Xier continued: "But from the other side, getting along with all kinds of horses will make people more and more patient. ”

Wen Ying thought of a female model wearing a silk dress and straddled a horse.

"When can I straddle a horse in a long skirt?"

Gu Xier: "If it's just to take pictures, you can do it now!" But I've known you for so long, you don't seem to take pictures! ”

Wen Ying: "Hmm. ”

Gu Xier: "If it's not for taking pictures, don't even think about it!" ”
