Chapter 132 Buying a Horse

The man in charge of selling horses in the stable was dozing off, and ordinary people would not come to buy horses. Dian Wei and the others had no choice but to cough twice when they saw this. At this time, the administrator with a straw hat slowly woke up. His sleepy eyes vaguely saw three people dressed in particular standing in front of him. The administrator then wiped his face a few randomly, put the straw hat aside and said, "Are you looking at the horse?" Dian Wei and Wei Yan looked at the butler silently. The butler cleared his throat and took a step forward, "That's right, it's true.

I want to pick a few horses and come here to take a look." At this time, the administrator said, "Forgive the villain just now. Isn't this the butler of the Taifu Mansion? I was indifferent. Is it really negligence just now, and it is not an offense. You forgive me more." "Hey, I am the buyer, you are the seller. It is not a must for the seller to not see the buyer rest for a while. There is no guilt, there is no guilt." As he said, he put his hand behind him, and then walked towards the innermost horse shed while walking, because horses must be carefully looked at every horse, and he cannot listen to the mouth of the horse selling horses.

But in fact, Dian Wei and Wei Yan are the ones who really pick horses, because the butler picks horses for the kind of horses that can do heavy physical work, but Dian Wei and Wei Yan do have to pick good horses, but they choose according to the standards of a thousand-mile horse, which is completely different from the butler. Therefore, after entering the horse trench, Dian Wei and Wei Yan gradually walked in front. Fortunately, it is winter now and there is no smell in the horse trench. The butler then stood in the back and watched them pick the horses. The administrator was stunned, but the butler smiled slightly and said, "That is the real financial owner who will bring you here. You can't go up and watch and serve them by yourself." The administrator understood and then met. After the butler breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the surrounding environment and retreated. He would not stand and wait for others in such a place.

Dian Wei and Wei Yan began to use common sense to pick horses. Picking horses depends on their eyesight, just like those who play antiques and collect them. This thing depends entirely on eyesight. After all, as long as there is no superpower in this area, it often depends on eyesight. The same is true for horses, just like equestrians today, the cost is too high. (In ancient times, in order to achieve the accuracy and accuracy of horses used in chariots on the battlefield, horses were often trained in various techniques and coordination, and later developed into equestrian competitions. Equestrian competitions entered the Olympics for the first time in 1900, and only one event was set up. In 1912, equestrian competitions were expanded into dressage competitions and obstacle courses.

Three-day races. Since 1952, female jockeys have been allowed to participate in the Olympic equestrian competitions, and equestrian has become the only competition event in the Olympics where men and women compete in the same field. As a team, horses and athletes will win medals and rankings together. Equestrian competitions require a tacit understanding between jockeys and horses to test the horse's skills, speed, endurance and ability to cross obstacles. The equestrian competitions in the Olympic Games are divided into dressage, obstacle race and three-day races. Each event has group and individual gold medals, and a total of 6 gold medals were generated. But unfortunately, it turned out that China, a cavalry power, did not have any strength or talent to participate in equestrian competitions. It was not until the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, that Hua Tian appeared.

Equestrian is a gentleman sport. This sport conveys a gentlemanly temperament and noble temperament in the perfect cooperation between people and horses. After entering the competition venue, the audience must turn off the mobile phone or set the vibration state. If there is anything, you can communicate with text messages, or when the competition comes to an end, go to the scene to answer the phone. Some competition venues should comply with the regulations that the camera is not allowed to enter the venue and the use of flashes is not allowed. Any athlete who has a look upward movement and needs to concentrate heavily on the competition activities, should not use flashes. When watching the competition, you should actively cooperate with the contestants and horses in the competition and do not go to the

Various items are thrown in the venue to avoid hurting horses and riders. It is generally not advisable to use flash lights to take pictures. Turn off your phone or turn it to a silent state, do not sway any flags and accessories, and do not make harsh screams on the scene, so as not to be frightened by the horses and affect the normal progress of the competition. Equestrian is a very rational competition. We should not lack such people, but due to the current restrictions on the conditions and the dangers of equestrianism, China does not have talents in this regard. In addition to Hua Tianyi, I will talk about it here to let all book friends know about this sport.)

Although Xiangma had written a book called Xiangma Sutra in ancient times, due to various reasons, this book has basically been lost. The reason is that we have unearthed some fragments. Let’s first learn about Bole. Bole, whose original name was Sun Yang, was from Gaoguo (now Chengwu County, Shandong Province) in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. In the Qin Dynasty's prosperity and strengthening of the country, he made great contributions as the Prime Minister, and was trusted by Duke Mu of Qin and was named "General Bole". Bole later wrote a summary of his lifelong experience.

It became the first book on horse science in my country's history - "Bole Xiangma Sutra". Later we called those who could appreciate talents Bole, which came from here, because good talents are like rare thousand-mile horses. They not only have unique talents and talents, but also need to be appreciated by someone. If no one appreciates them, they are likely to become those pack horses that specialize in caring goods. In addition, their essence is not horses that pull things, which is not only a waste, but will eventually regret it for the rest of their lives.

First of all, you must watch from a distance whether the horse's lines are smooth and the body proportions are coordinated, giving people a subjectively comfortable feeling. It's so strange. Looking at the comfortable horse's body is a good horse in most cases. When you get close to see if the horse's fur is smooth and smooth, you can't just look at it. You can also try it yourself, because smooth fur is a problem of the feel. Dian Wei and Wei Yan went up and touched it. Many horses did not meet this regulation. After that, they looked at the horse's eyes and were calm and unhappy. The panicked horse was timid. Sometimes, when there was a turbulent movement, it could lift the rider on its back. If that were the case, wouldn't it be dead? The ears were not very friendly and listened to the sound back and forth, which proved that the horse was very alert and aggressive. Only with a competitive and competitive heart could withstand the strict training later. The innate conditions were better.

The horses also need to undergo arduous training, otherwise they will not be able to become a thousand-mile horse. Whether the legs of the hooves are swollen, they will walk and run to see if they are strong. These are some basic things, and then they need to be tested in person. Some horses are like wolves and tofu waists, especially those of us like Dian Wei. Ordinary horses really cannot withstand it, so they must be good horses with hard skills, and this can withstand it. Moreover, when cavalry wars were fighting, especially if a cavalry was carrying out a single unit for missions, they were usually equipped with two horses, unlike the number of horses that everyone imagined, as many as the horses were there. This is why cavalry expenses were the greatest. Being able to form a powerful cavalry unit was a reflection of the real financial strength of a force.

Dian Wei and the others divided the work and cooperated. Dian Wei was responsible for testing the load of each horse, while Wei Yan was responsible for breaking his mouth open to look at the teeth. The teeth of the livestock were a better way to identify age. At the same time, it was also the best way in ancient times. The two people divided the work and cooperated quickly and picked ten good horses, which also made the administrator's eyes lit up. These two people had good eyes. The ten horses they picked were indeed good, but a few of them had mixed hairs on their fur and were thrown out. But what he didn't know was that Dian Wei's eyes gradually looked at another horse. What we will talk about next time.
