000173 Riding
I heard that Xiao Yifei was going to leave the winery, and Wang Nan, who had been waiting in the tasting room for a long time, had to follow him. Xiao Yifei had to bring two followers to the opposite horse farm.
"This place is so desolate. Is this yours? Why don't you plant anything?"
"It's better to be desolate. I plan to slaughter you and bury you here."
Wang Nan grabbed a small stone and smashed it over. Xiao Yifei quickly dodged away. Hei Nose thought the two wanted to play with it, so he ran around.
"Stop making trouble, this is a horse farm. If you make trouble too fiercely, it's not good to scare the horse."
"Horse? Do you still raise horses? What do you do when you run a winery to raise horses? Are you arable land?"
Wang Nan immediately transformed into "100,000 Whys". This woman was too curious. She still cultivated the land. Do you think I am Barth from Aluzhu Winery? What kind of retro flow is that the grapes are ripe later than others, and the yield is extremely low. However, the price of the wine made Xiao Yifei salivate.
"This is just bought, and I don't know what the horse can do."
"Wow, what a beautiful horse."
After Wang Nan finished speaking, he immediately took out his camera and hit the horses.
Seeing that Xiao Yifei came again, the white little foal jumped over and ran over. Xiao Yifei pulled another handful of alfalfa, and the little foal ate the forage with a roll of tongue. Xiao Yifei reached out and touched its head, and helped it sort out its forehead.
The black nose is short, with two front legs lying on the wooden railing, stretching her neck to look at the little foal. The little foal is also interested in this guy who is smaller than himself, and lowers his head to look at it.
Then something even more excessive happened. The little foal actually stuck out his tongue to lick the black nose, and the black nose also stuck out his tongue to lick it. Let me go, do you two want to be so quarrel? Is it true love to really transcend race?
Xiao Yifei quickly "break up the couple". He bent down and pulled a handful of grass, which drove away the little foal's attention. Wang Nan also became interested and reached out to pull a handful of grass. He handed it to the little foal. The little foal shook her nose and turned around and ran away. The black nose crawled under the wooden railing. He wanted to chase the little foal, but unfortunately he was restricted by the dog leash and turned around and whined to Xiao Yifei.
When Xiao Yifei saw Wang Nan being defeated, he laughed happily:
"I guess you are not even as good as the Black Nose in its mind."
Wang Nan was so angry that he threw the grass on Xiao Yifei's head. Xiao Yifei was willing to suffer losses and also pulled a handful of it. Hearing the movement here, the little foal turned around and curiously lit up the monsters with two legs. He didn't understand why they were playing with their own food.
"Boss, you're here."
Xiao Yifei turned around and turned out to be Lawrence, who was in charge of the horse farm:
"Yes, I'll take a look at these horses."
"Boss, you like them so much, do you want to ride it?"
horse riding?
When she heard that she was going to ride a horse, Xiao Yifei was still hesitating, and Wang Nan was so excited that she almost jumped up. She stared at Xiao Yifei, as if he wanted to dare to say no, she was about to jump up and bite her.
OK. Then ride a horse. Anyway, there are few people, and you can send red envelopes in less than ten minutes.
Xiao Yifei thought he was riding a horse outside. Who knew that Lawrence actually took them to the horse house. There were two indoor training grounds inside the horse house, and the horses were usually trained there, and the outside was just a stocking ground.
When we arrived at the training ground, a female rider who had never seen before was training. She saw the Arabian horse under her control changing its pace from time to time in the rhythm of the music, walking quickly, walking slowly, raising her legs high, and trotting. There were also steps in the middle, such as walking slantingly and retreating. No matter what the horse was in, the female rider above always sat straight and smiling.
When the music finally ended, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but applaud. However, Wang Nan was very alert and had taken a lot of photos just now.
"Boss, this is our jockey Sofia. She got sick a few days ago and asked for leave. This is the first time she has met her boss. Sofia, this is the new boss Xiao."
No wonder, he saw that there were 7 people on the list of horse farm employees, and only 6 people were seen last time. When Xiao Yifei shook hands with Sofia, she seemed to be depressed and asked curiously:
"What's wrong, Sofia, is there any problem?"
Lawrence explained:
"Boss, Sofia and the horses had some problems just now."
"Oh, if you have any problems with your cooperation, practice more. If you practice too much, you will be fine."
Unexpectedly, Lawrence sighed:
"Boss, this is not something that practice can solve."
"What's going on?"
Sofia stopped Lawrence:
"It's better for me to say that. It's because I can't bear to bear the horse's suffering."
Xiao Yifei was even more confused. Didn’t he say that the dressage requires the unity of the horse, and the horse must be happy, so why should he suffer?
However, after their explanation, Xiao Yifei knew that the dressage looks good, but to achieve good results, the training process is a double torture of both the best and the spirit for the horse. (This kind of thing can be earned 14 million euros by breeding a year, which can be said to be the best dressage horse in the world. It can be seen from the controversy of the Totilas Totilas. It is said that some equestrian enthusiasts are calling for boycotting the 2012 London Olympics equestrian performance because of this overbending training method.)
Whether it is old George Roger, Lawrence, or Sophia in front of him, they are all horse lovers and are reluctant to abuse the horses in this way. Therefore, the Arabian horses on the horse farm have never achieved good results. Because of some arrogant horses, the horses occasionally have problems with the knights.
"It's okay, I said that the horse farm's losses are not seen yet. Let's just do it. Isn't it said that Arab horses have strong endurance? Let's not take the dressage path, but take the endurance race."
"This, boss, our venue is not big enough for endurance races."
I went, over 50 acres of land were not enough for endurance training?
"Then I have no choice, and there is no big territory nearby to buy. There is only one, with such a high land price, it is definitely not cost-effective to buy it as a horse farm. I can only wait to find a big territory outside in the future and maintain the status quo now."
Lawrence and Sophia were relieved when they heard Xiao Yifei's words. They were afraid that the new boss would turn losses into profits as soon as possible and use that cruel training method, which would make them feel very uncomfortable.
Lawrence hurriedly said:
"Boss, aren't you going to ride a horse? This one is good and has a very docile personality."
"Forget it. Change another one, it's been tired after training for so long."
Sophia led the horse to the stocking ground. She brought back two more batches, and the mother of the foal was also among them. Xiao Yifei and Wang Nan put on the equipment under the guidance of Lawrence.
Next, Xiao Yifei and Wang Nan each took the field, and under the guidance of Lawrence and Sophia, they began their first horse riding experience in their lives.
"Arabian horses are very alert and good at protecting themselves. Before they get on the horse, they must communicate with it first. Make sure it is ready to get on the horse."
Xiao Yifei rolled his eyes and asked, please don’t say anything about theories, how can you communicate with it? Could it be that he leaned against his ear and asked: Sister Ma, I want to ride you, can it?
Fortunately, Lawrence continued to demonstrate to him, first touching the horse's neck. The horse looked back at him, and the horse indeed took the initiative to adjust a few steps.
"Look, so it is ready and can get on the horse. When getting on the horse, you must be firm in your movements. These are trained horses, and they will not run around. Moreover, the Arabian horse's shoulders are only 1.5 meters high, so you can get on the horse with confidence and boldness."
He kicked his back and quickly sat on the horse's back.
"Look, if you don't give it instructions, it won't leave, so don't be nervous. Once you are nervous, the horse's emotions will also be infected."
He jumped off the horse and signaled that Xiao Yifei would come once too.
Xiao Yifei learned his movements and touched the horse's neck. The horse looked back at him, as if he felt very strange. Why did the person come down again just now and another person was changed?
Xiao Yifei helped it to fix its forehead hair. He thought the bangs of the Arabian horse were so beautiful. The mane was so smooth when it felt. The horse hadn't waited for someone to come up for a long time, and turned his head to look at him. At the same time, the towering tail was still shaking.
"Boss, it's ready."
Xiao Yifei looked at the horse, put on stirrups on his left leg, and tried to use some force. The horse farm only had a dressage saddle, which was not as staked as the western saddle, and there was no place to borrow force on his hands. He pushed the horse all by his legs. Fortunately, the Arabian horse was not tall, so Xiao Yifei kicked his right leg and sat up.
The horse still stood steadily.
"Okay, now you can adjust the center of gravity slightly, then gently shake the reins, and it will leave by itself. Don't do other moves, its speed will not speed up, and when it reaches the edge of the field, it will turn automatically, and you can take you with you for a while first."
Dizzy, this is really a good training, you just need to move anything, it is more convenient than an automatic car.
Sure enough, this horse was so smart that he walked slowly inside the venue, very smoothly.
"Don't step on the stirrups with your feet, yes, just relax and experience it first."
After wandering around for two times, Xiao Yifei found some feelings.
"It's that simple?"
Xiao Yifei found it incredible.
Wang Nan from the opposite venue also said:
"Yes, I can actually ride a horse."
At this time, I don’t know what Xiao Yifei did, but the horse actually started raising his legs high. The horse’s back was quite undulating. Xiao Yifei was so scared that he immediately lay on the horse, holding the Arabian horse’s slender neck, and his legs tightly clamped the horse’s belly. The horse is worthy of being trained for a long time, and immediately stopped raising his legs high and took a slow step again.
"Don't be afraid, it's very smart. It not only protects itself, but also protects the knights. Please sit there with confidence."
Next, Xiao Yifei began to properly control the horse's steering. After a while, the horse began to raise his legs high again. Xiao Yifei was not panicked this time. With his good balance ability, he tried to sit straight on the saddle.
Lawrence in the middle of the venue praised him in a bad mood:
"Yes, that's it, keep it steady."
I don't know if it's a praising horse or a praising man.
