Chapter 462: Choosing a Horse

Zhang Juan and the others stood at the bottom of the slope, not far from the herd, looking at everything that had happened.

At this moment, the hearts of these people are a little surging, and they feel that the appearance of these cowboys catching horses is like an equestrian show.

And at this moment, the impression of these cowboys can coincide with the cowboy shadows they see in movies and television. All of them seemed to be working separately, but when they came together and exerted their strength together, they were like one person, and every movement, every sharp turn of the horse, seemed to have a melody.

When the horses bring up the gray smoke, the cowboys intersperse and detour, one by one, shouting and screaming, simple syllables coming out of their mouths, and everyone keeps cooperating, it is simply a wild beauty with the breath of nature.

Cowboys, horses and then horses and cowboys, the momentum between the herd and the cowboy are divided and combined, and the roar of people and horses has become a unique picture in Western movies, exuding a kind of male beauty and strength beauty.

Especially Sun Yanping, he filmed this scene directly, and he felt that if it was accompanied by music, it could be directly used as an advertisement.

Zhang Chi, who was in the middle of it, didn't feel any beauty, because their attention was on the task in their hands, and they didn't have time to think about whether they were handsome or not on the horse, and whether they were charming or not.

At this time, they can only think about the work in their hands, once they desert, maybe it will bring irreparable pain, at this time you can only concentrate on being careful, and you have no time to think about how to be handsome.

It's a movie, not a real life, life is never a light song, nor is it a lingering stage play, he is a responsibility, a burden, and a burst of friendship in labor.

But Zhang Juan, Sun Yanping, including Zhang Youpeng and Zhang's family, they are different, what they see is not the technical problems, they only see whether it is good or not, they see the liveliness, they see the smoke and dust, and they see the cowboys leading the horses to the reins, like juggling through the horses and dividing them, and finally get the horses.

Of course, it looks good, at least it is quite good-looking for these people, and at this moment Sun Yanping knows that his riding skills, in front of these people, are not even comparable to the level of a preschool.

Sun Yanping used to think that there was something difficult about riding a horse, isn't it just running on a horse, and he will do two actions on horseback, he didn't grow up on horseback since he was a child, but now he doesn't look bad at riding.

At this time, he knew why the agricultural peoples in history generally couldn't get nomads in the wild.

The riding skills he saw now were telling, no matter what posture or angle the horses were stepping on, the cowboys on horseback were perpendicular to the horse's back at a kind of ninety degrees.

Sometimes you see the cowboys smash their whole body to the ground in an instant, but they still stay in this state, like a wooden man on the back of a horse, not a living man.

Sun Yanping admired this kind of waist strength very much, he used to think that people said to ride a horse to lose weight, he felt that riding a horse where to lose weight, seeing this scene, he really believed that riding a horse can really lose weight, what kind of core strength is needed to ride a horse in this posture!

Kevin whispered to Cannon at this time, "The boss's riding skills are quite high."

Cannon turned his head and glanced at Kevin slightly: "That's because you didn't see the boss's efforts, almost all the farm work, the boss has done it with me, so don't compare those guys who play the ranch with our boss."

Kevin smiled, "I know".

Then Kevin closed his mouth, Kevin actually knew that the biggest fan of the boss was Cannon, and Cannon would not allow anyone to speak ill of the boss in front of him.

Of course, Kevin also admitted that the reward given by the boss is worthy of Cannon's loyalty, and Kevin himself is one of the beneficiaries.

Just looking at the salary, the treatment of Zhang Chi Ranch is indeed similar to that of other ranches, but it is a monthly bonus, plus some dividends from the sale of livestock, and the income in a year is obviously much higher than that of nearby cowboys.

Of course, even if it's a lot higher, it's not as high as the average salary in places like New York, but what are cowboys, they are almost all low-educated, they don't have any knowledge, almost equivalent to an illiterate one, and if you want to find a high-paying job, then people want you too.

Don't give any examples of truck drivers making movies or the like, those are all examples, there are so many truck drivers in the United States, is there a second one besides Cameron who makes movies?

There are people who have no education and make a fortune, but what does it have to do with ordinary people? You don't have to do the job of a cowboy if someone has that ability.

So Kevin has some appreciation for Zhang Chi, but if you let him be like Cannon, he is grateful to Zhang Chi, that's unrealistic, what Cannon and Zhang Chi have experienced, Kevin won't experience, so naturally he doesn't have that kind of feeling.

Sun Yanping didn't understand what the two said, but he said to Zhang Juan: "I really didn't expect that riding skills can be like this."

Zhang Juan was a little proud: "I have long asked you to give up the riding skills that you learned from the second bastard, and change it to our riding method, and tell you that it is urgent to change it now."

After speaking, Zhang Juan said to her father and grandfather behind her: "Master, father, if you want to change it, you can do it."

Zhang Youpeng and Zhang Jiaren smiled and didn't pay attention to her, in fact, no one taught her how to ride at all, the life of the father and son in their childhood can be said to be pasted and copied, when they were young, they rode the cow, and when the buffalo was replaced by a scalper, they rode the cow, the scalper is much more difficult to ride than the buffalo, and the general scalper does not let people ride, when they can sit firmly on the back of the scalper, it is not too difficult on the back of the horse.

This kind of riding is the most primitive method, but also the most instinctive way to ride, Cannon and other cowboys watched the two ride, and did not put forward most of the big opinions, one is because the two are a little old, and they can't change it back, and the other is that the riding style of the two does not make them feel awkward.

If the posture of sitting on horseback is too ugly, then the riding style is definitely not right, and if it is good-looking, then the riding style is not a problem.

This thing is the cooperation between man and horse, you and the horse can cooperate in action, and the posture cannot be incorrect, nor can it be unsightly.

There is a saying that the Tao is natural, that is, to follow the rules of the development of things, and the same is true for riding, if you follow the rules of the horse, the horse will not throw you off because of discomfort.

"Even if we forget it, we don't ride often, and we don't ride when we get home," Zhang Jiaren said with a smile.

Sun Yanping said: "Master, why don't we get a place to raise horses when we go back?" When the time comes, you can also make money outside."

Zhang Juan said: "Forget it, let's do it, where will the money come from?" ”

Zhang Juan never thought that her brother's money could be spent by herself, although she was a little sloppy, but she also knew that she couldn't rely on her younger brother, she already had a home, and then she picked up money from her younger brother, wasn't that a vampire. Only when you earn your own money and spend it yourself, then you can look like a sister in front of your younger brother, and you will be confident when you talk to your younger brother.

Under the fence, she snorted at others, even if it was her own brother, she was unwilling.

Sun Yanping didn't think about it, he was originally big-hearted and easy to be satisfied, and it was impossible to think about his wife and brother's money.

"Let's not make it big, it's not expensive to enclose a piece of land in our hometown, circle ten acres and twenty acres, raise a few horses, and take mud to pad it, I think the stable of the Dachi family is like that, we can do it" Sun Yanping said.

Zhang Youpeng said: "You think well, you will come with a mouth of ten acres and twenty acres of land, who will give you the land?" ”

Everyone was talking nonsense, and Zhang Chi came over on horseback.

"Let's go".

Zhang Juan looked at her younger brother and asked, "That's good?" ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "Then what else do you want?" ”

"If you're ready, you can go back, it's still early," Zhang Jiaren said.

Zhang Chi explained: "That's so fast, it's only the first one, and there are still seven or eight more on Miller's side."

"What are you doing with so many horses?" Zhang Juan asked.

Zhang Chi said: "People don't say it, I don't ask, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Miller's explanation of catching horses is very vague, and Zhang Chi didn't ask much, anyway, for him, it is to help Miller's friend, you say that relatives and friends open tourist ranches, whether these horses are sold or not, they have little to do with Zhang Chi.

"So what's next? Get back? Zhang Youpeng asked.

Zhang Chi snorted: "Go back, wait for the horses to regroup, and when you come back again, you can set the second set, the horses here set a set, maybe you will have to go to other horses to take a look in the afternoon."

Hearing Zhang Chi say this, everyone followed Zhang Chi back to the camp on the slope.

Instead of following the family to camp, Cannon and Kevin are now riding to meet the cowboys, who are now going to help the cowboys simply train the horses so that they can be used in carriages.

If the horse can't quickly adapt to the carriage, and when it enters the carriage, it kicks and bites, or even hits the trunk with its head, then the horse will not stay no matter how good it is, because the horse has something, but when you transport the horse on the road, one dies, one is not good, and the other is that dealing with the carcass of the horse is also a troublesome matter.

Therefore, the two horses that are brought back now do not mean that they will be able to be transported away in the end, but we have to see how their temperament is.

As mentioned earlier, the character of the mare is very good, not as violent as the stallion, this is the general evaluation, and sometimes it is not completely true when it comes to the individual, and some mares have a more violent temperament than the average stallion.

This is like, everyone has always felt that women are weak, but some women, it is not an exaggeration to say that they kill people like hemp, and they are not inferior to men when they are ruthless.

There are also such fierce women in the horse, biting and kicking people or pretending to be well-behaved first, and when you get on its back, it will take advantage of your inattention, and come to a dry land to dial onions, and the golden rooster is independent.

If you're unlucky, or if you're careless at this time, maybe the whole village will have to beat gongs and drums to eat together.

So everyone has to touch the temper of the horse first, keep the good ones, and throw away the bad ones.
