Chapter Ninety-Four: Horseback Riding
"What, what's wrong with these seeds?" Lin Yi asked.
"That's not true, I'm here for something else, we've planted a lot of vine-climbing vegetables this time, so we need to build a shelf, and I'm here to ask which kind of shelf we should build. ”
"Is there anything else to say about this?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"When you grow vegetables on a farm, you just use some wood to make it yourself, like our ranch, there are a lot of trees nearby, and there are a lot of cowboys. The downside of this approach is that it's easy to break, and you have to do it all over again every time. ”
"Some ranches will buy some brackets from outside, which are generally made of iron or some special materials, which are more durable and will look better. ”
"I don't know which one you choose?" Aunt Kelly introduced several ways to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi frowned and thought for a while, then he made a decision.
"Just use the ones you bought, and when the time comes, all the same will look good, and the whole thing will look better if you put it in place. ”
"Okay, I'll go. After Aunt Kelly finished speaking, she got up and took her leave.
"Wait a minute. Lin Yi shouted.
I went back to the warehouse and took out a lot of fruit and gave it to the other party, and asked the other party to drive it back.
There are too many fruits in the space, so Lin Yi often comes out and takes some from others and puts them in the warehouse.
"Dawson, wait a minute to order some shelves and come back. Lin Yi commanded.
......
Horses are indispensable partners in the history of human development, and signs of horse activity can be seen at all stages of human development.
Lin Yi bought a pony before, but the size of this horse is still a little smaller, so Lin Yi has only taken care of it a few times in the past, and Lin Yi has not ridden a horse until now.
"Ryan, how are these horses?" Early in the morning, Lin Yi walked to the stable, there were only a few horses in it, and there was another person who was busy.
"Good morning, boss, is it better to come and see your Lu this time? This little guy is jumping around on his own, but boss, your name is so bad, I have a hard time saying his name every time. Ryan came out of the stable, still holding a horse brush.
"Huh!"
"By the way, Ryan, do you have time, teach me to ride a horse!" Lin Yi asked, there were several horses here besides Lu, and these were some horses that were spare by the ranch.
"Okay,"
Ryan turned around, took out a black horse from the stable, patted the black horse's neck, and said to Lin Yi: "Xiao Hei is a mare with a very gentle personality, and it is very suitable for a new scholar like you." ”
"But first of all, you have to get along with it, get acquainted with it, and the best way to get acquainted with it is to brush it. ”
"Horses like to be brushed and scratched, and horses and horses often "bite" each other, in fact, they are combing each other's hair, which is an important thing in the daily life of horses, so horses like to be brushed, and often brush horses in addition to ensuring the health of horses can also enhance the feelings between people and horses, so it is necessary to learn to brush horses. ”
Ryan took out some brushes and handed them to Lin Yi, who nodded, "Then what should I do?"
Seriously, he hadn't brushed Lu for so long, and of course there were reasons he didn't know.
Lin Yi blew a whistle, and suddenly a sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Lu, who was playing in the distance, heard the whistle and ran over excitedly, like a gust of black wind running in front of Lin Yi, he stopped instantly, roared happily, and kept rubbing Lin Yi's chest with its head, now this horse has not grown up, it is still a pony, but Lu has grown very well during this period of time, and the hair on his body has emitted a shiny oil, which is much stronger than when he was in the horse farm before.
"Well, okay, okay, don't get it. Lin Yi held Lu's head, and it always felt uncomfortable to rub it like this.
However, it was obvious that Lin Yi was self-inflicted, and after stopping his head, Lin Yi saw that Lu's head was looking for something in his pocket.
“......”
Lin Yi instantly understood, when he came over before, he always took out food from his pocket and gave it to him, and this little guy seemed to be looking for food.
"Okay, if you can't find it, I'll give it to you. "Of course you can't find it, because the food isn't in your pocket.
Lin Yi reached out and stuffed it into his pocket, then took out a carrot from the space, stretched out his palm, and the carrot was placed in the palm of his hand and stretched out to Lu, who handed it to him.
The horse's eyes are long on the sides, you can't see the front at all, if you directly grab it with your hand and hand it to him, it is likely to be bitten directly, and don't underestimate the bite force of the horse, your fingers are likely to be bitten off, and if your hand is stretched out, the horse will lick and eat from your hand, and will not bite at all.
Lu ate very happily, blinking with big eyes, and jumping a few times from time to time.
Ryan saw that Lin Yi was going to help Lu Brush first, and began to teach Lin Yi the steps of brushing, "Boss, first of all, we have to keep the horses from moving, otherwise they will have problems if they move around." Then, we need to use a rubber brush to brush off the hair that has fallen out of the horse.
Next, use a stiff brush to brush off the dust and residual hair on the horse's body, the next thing is to brush their tail hair and mane, and also help it buckle its hooves, if the hooves are not buckled for a long time, the remaining stains inside will become parasites, and even serious horses' hooves will rot.
Also, the hair next to the horse's eyes is also very important, the horse's eyes are very sensitive, and you can't use a hard brush, so be sure to use a soft brush, and you must be careful, and finally wipe the horse with a towel. ”
Ryan swallowed his saliva and continued, "Also, you need to be careful when brushing the horse, and you must not stand directly behind the horse's butt when brushing the horse's tail." Watch out for a back kick, the horse's hind legs are very strong, and I'll have to see you in the hospital then.
Also, the brushing of horses should be slow and gentle, the courage of horses is very small, and they will be frightened when you mess around. Also, don't get trampled by the horses, if they do, you may not be able to walk for a long time. Finally, be careful not to let the horse kick you when moving around. Do not drill from the bottom of the horse's belly to the other side, as the horse's belly is very sensitive and the slightest touch to the horse may kick you with its hind hooves. ”
Lin Yi nodded, but he was also a little speechless, why did he feel so dangerous, how could this horse still be in danger of life.
Lin Yi first cleaned up Lu's body, and then cleaned up the body of the dark horse Xiaohei.
Lin Yi went to the small warehouse and took out a spare pair of saddles, water reins and sweat pads, put on the little black under the guidance of Ryan, and after doing it, Ryan checked it again, and then instructed Lin Yi on horseback riding skills.
Lin Yi took out two carrots again and handed them to Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei glanced at it, lowered his head and ate slowly, Lin Yi touched Xiao Hei's neck with his right hand, weighed the machine to input some spiritual power, and whispered into Xiao Hei's ear: "Xiao Hei, you must be obedient later, don't mess around." ”
Xiao Hei snorted and continued to eat with his head down.
"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 this, like this, do you see clearly? boss, you can try it. ”
Lin Yi had already wanted to gallop on a horse, so he studied very carefully and seriously repeated Ryan's actions just now.
"Okay, very good, boss, you're doing a great job! Hit the stirrup with your left foot, jump on the ground with your right foot, turn around and get on the horse, and remember not to sit firmly in the saddle after getting on the horse. Well, okay, boss, now you get on the horse and try it once. As he spoke, he stood beside Lin Yi and watched Lin Yi get on the horse.
Lin Yi followed Ryan's explanation, with a force on his right foot, he threw his body on the back of the horse, sat down with his buttocks, and Xiao Hei shook his head and snorted.
Ryan hurriedly grabbed the reins of the water: "Relax, boss, 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." ”
Lin 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 Lin 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, "Sit down very firmly when you get on the horse, the horse will know that you are a novice, so it will bully you, but fortunately, Xiao Hei is really close to you, if it were someone else, this would have been thrown off!"
