Alpine pasture

Chapter 19 The Ability of Bean Grass

Early the next morning, Ju An was sleeping soundly with his head covered. Yesterday he and his brother drank a catty and a half of liquor, and when he stood up, he felt that his surroundings were dangling.

I got up several times at night, drank a few large glasses of water, and got up several times just to pee.

After finally sleeping comfortably, I suddenly heard the neighing sound of Dougao and Snowflake. I stuck my head out of the quilt in a daze, pricked up my ears, and it seemed that it was really Dougao and Snowflake, passing nearby from.

Staggeringly opened the curtains and looked down, no, these two guys were screaming at their window with their necks stretched. An's figure appeared on the windowsill, but the two guys stopped screaming and looked up at Ju An.

A few steps away from the two guys, Zhao Nan was smiling and taking pictures of the two guys.

Ju An turned her head and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was already seven forty.I just remembered that I overslept and overslept, it was already past the time for the two guys to eat carrots, no wonder.

Half asleep and half awake, after washing, he put on his boots and went out.

As soon as they went out, the two guys followed Ju An, and when Ju An came out with two carrots, they turned around and walked towards the stables, and now Ju An followed Doucao and the others in a daze. Ann was followed by Zhao Nan with his tail.

When he entered the stable, Ju An was still in a daze, as if he saw Snowflake enter the compartment first, and Doucao seemed to be waiting for Snowflake to enter, so he lifted the latch with his mouth, locked Snowflake in, and then entered by himself. He got into his own compartment, then poked out the horse face, hung up the latch on his own door, and locked himself in.

Ju An's whole mind was in a half-working state, as if part of it reminded him that there was a problem, but he just couldn't remember where the problem was.

At this time, Zhao Nan shouted: "It's amazing."It made Ju'an shudder before he woke up.

"I seem to have seen this guy, opened the door, and locked it myself." Ju An pointed uncertainly at Doucao's head sticking out of the small wooden door.

Seeing Zhao Nan nodded: "It closed the door of that horse first, then went in and closed its own door."

Ju An knew that he was not blind. To verify it, Ju An carried the carrot and walked out, turning his head to look at Doucao as he walked.

Sure enough, Doucao lifted the latch again, trotted out, and bit Ju An's collar to prevent him from leaving.Xuehua stretched her big neck to figure it out, snorting non-stop.

When Ju An turned around, Doucao ran back to the cubicle and locked herself up again.

He walked over with a carrot in each hand, and fed the two guys to chew on it.

Unexpectedly, Doucao had such a hand.After feeding, Ju An pulled the two guys out, began to wash, and then shoveled the manure. When he was shoveling the manure, he heard a voice: "Shovel the horse manure slowly. I'll go see if Liu Chao is awake." Turning around, he saw Zhao Nan has disappeared.

Shaking his head: The work of shoveling manure is really unpopular.

After taking care of the sanitation of the stables, and saddling the bean grass and snowflake quilts, Ju An is in charge of teaching Liu Chao how to ride horses today.

When he took the rein and walked out of the stable, Liu Chao had already arrived downstairs.

He took the two of them to the training ground, gave Liu Chao and the two of them a general description of the things to pay attention to when riding a horse, and then demonstrated it.

Ju An said: "Don't approach the horse from behind, it's not a joke to be kicked by these big guys, even if you are behind the horse's buttocks, you should put your hands on the horse's buttocks, let the horse feel you, don't Just approach a horse that likes to kick people, and try not to wear fancy clothes for ladies, which are easy to startle the horse. Another thing to pay attention to is to try not to change clothes immediately, for example, you wear a red coat with a green shirt inside , If you take off your coat on the horse, it is very likely that the horse will throw you off, so be slow when approaching the horse, and don't rush towards the horse."

Holding the rein, Ju An continued to explain: "Also, be careful when leading the horse. Your rein should not be too loose. Don't stop and go, and then look back at the horse, so that the horse doesn't know what you want to do. Be careful like me. Keep the reins at this length."

After Lin Lin explained everything, he gave Zhao Nan the reins of Snow Flower, first gave Zhao Nan a few slices of carrots, asked her to feed the horse, and bonded with each other.

Zhao Nan happily picked up a piece and gave it to Xue Hua's mouth, but Ju An quickly stopped him: "Don't do this when feeding the horse, you should put the food in the palm of your hand like this, with your palm flattened, you will definitely be bitten by him when feeding like this , look at me like this".As she spoke, she put a piece of carrot in the palm of her hand and brought it to Xue Hua's mouth. Xue Hua tilted her head and was late.

Then Zhao Nan took Xuehua for a walk slowly=, Xuehua also cooperated very well and followed behind with small steps honestly.

Xuehua cooperated very well, and Doucao didn't give Liu Chao any face, so he ate the carrots. As soon as Ju An put the rein in Liu Chao's hand, Doucao raised his head and stepped back to get the rein out of Liu Chao's hand. , panting hard and snorting.

"Hey! BOY, be quiet, be quiet." Ju An had no choice but to take the rein to comfort Dou Cao, and while talking in Dou Cao's ear, he stroked Dou Cao's mane. When Dou Cao calmed down, he put the rein on Hand it over to Liu Chao, and the above things happened again.

At this time, old Thomas came over and saw the scene and said: "Ann, don't try it, change a mare for Steven, I'm surprised that you can ride on the back of pea grass, an uncastrated stallion Grumpy and hard to control, luckily you didn't let Steven ride on it, once he got on, Dougao would definitely kick and jump, and he wouldn't stop until he got rid of him, I wouldn't mind if you asked me to ride Dougao Yes, let's go and choose a good-tempered horse for Steven to practice."

Ju An had no choice but to lead Doucao to tie him to a post next to him, and followed Thomas to choose a new horse, this time a sorrel pinto with big white flowers all over its body.

When he prepared the saddle and took it to the training ground, Zhao Nan fell in love with this horse at a glance, and insisted on changing it with Liu Chao.

"Look, what a beautiful horse, the whole body is snow-white. Even the mane is one piece of chestnut and one piece of white. It's so beautiful." While holding the horse's head, and kissing two from time to time, Ju An was speechless, and Ju An chose In other words, among all the horses, this one is the ugliest one, it looks like an albino, what's so good about it.

Afterwards, everything went smoothly. The two led the horse and walked around the training ground for a few laps, and it seemed that it was almost done.

Put a side rein on Xue Hua first, and teach the two how to get on the horse, as well as the precautions for getting on and off the horse, and the posture to pay attention to on the horse's back.

First of all, Liu Chao got on the horse. He got on the horse well, and his sitting posture was okay. Ju An put on the side rein: "Put a little pressure on the waist, or lightly pinch the horse's belly, and the horse will go away."

He learned well. Liu Chao on horseback was like a big crab. It was like this for the first time riding a horse. There was some fear in the excitement, and his movements were stiff, but Liu Chao's face was full of excitement.

Seeing Liu Chao walking steadily, Ju An came to Zhao Nan and helped her mount the horse. Zhao Nan was relatively short, and the back height of the flower horse was only about 1.6 meters, which was only slightly shorter than Zhao Nan. If Zhao Nan wanted to get on the horse, his thighs had to be close to his chest before he could put his feet in the stirrups. In the end, it was Ju An who supported Zhao Nan under the stirrups before putting Zhao Nan on the saddle.

As soon as he got on the saddle, Zhao Nan was holding on to the stake, looking extremely nervous.

Ju An had no choice but to lead her by the bridle and walk a few steps with her: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, don't hold on to the stake, hold on to the rein."

"I'm holding the rein, don't let go of your hand," Zhao Nan said nervously.

Originally, Ju An wanted to help senior brother hold Xue Hua's side rein, but when he glanced at senior brother, he was squatting on Xue Hua's body like a big horse monkey, happy, "Well, I will hold the rein, you hold the rein, it's all right Don't be afraid," Ju An said with a smile.

Leading the fancy horse along the training ground for a few laps, Zhao Nan got better. Basically, Ju An can let go of the reins, but people still have to follow Zhao Nan, walking slowly for a few more laps, so that Ju An can feel better. Chance grabbed Xue Hua's side rein, so Ju An held a rein with one hand, while the husband and wife walked around in circles one behind the other.

After a simple lunch, Liu Chao and his wife continued to circle in the afternoon.

When Liu Chao got on the horse in the afternoon, he said to Ju An: "Anzi, I know why many people love to ride horses. When you ride on a horse, your whole person's sight is completely different. The sight of a normal person is so high. Immediately, the line of sight doubled suddenly, and it feels very strange," he said while gesticulating with his hands.

Ju An said with a smile: "In fact, sight is one aspect, and the other is that when you are riding a horse and galloping fast, you can hear the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground in your ears, and the oncoming wind. Some friends let their horses gallop together, that's the beauty. In China, I was at the racecourse in the suburbs of Jiangnan. The place was very small, and I couldn't run any horses. Even if I ran around the field, it was completely different from here. Wait When you can run, we will go out and run around together, that will be exciting."

"Then I'm going to step up my practice, but this morning my thigh hurts a bit, and it turned red after looking at it just now," Liu Chao said.

"There is a problem with the posture. Don't clamp your legs too tightly. Pay attention to loosening your thighs. This problem will occur when you first start riding a horse. It will be fine when you are proficient. You must relax on the horse. In fact, riding a horse is a kind of communication between people and horses. It needs to build up each other. Trust, I don’t understand it in China, but Thomas taught me here, he told me that a good rider should learn to trust your horse, and even give yourself to the horse sometimes,” Ju An said.

Liu Chao received: "I used to want to ride a horse, didn't I just ride a horse and run, but I didn't think it was such a thing after riding for a long time today. There are a lot of things to learn, even how to hold the rein. I thought it was too simple before." .

Ju An said with a smile: "I felt the same way when I first came here. Old Thomas said, run on a horse? You can tie a fool to a horse and run without falling off. What is it called equestrianism? Good equestrianism." The important thing is communication, every horse is like a person, with different tempers, a person who doesn’t even know your horse is not a cowboy at all.”

Liu Chao listened and nodded, deeply convinced.
