Chapter 462 Horse Selection
Zhang Juan and others stood at the bottom of the slope not far from the horses, watching what happened.

At this moment, these people's hearts are a little surging. They feel that the way these cowboys are catching the horses is as vivid as an equestrian show.

At this moment, the impressions of these cowboys can overlap with the shadows of cowboys they saw in movies and TV.All the people seem to be doing their own thing, but when they work together, they seem to be one person. Every movement, every sharp turn of the horse seems to carry a melody.

When the horses brought up the gray smoke, the cowboys interspersed among them, yelling one by one, and the simple syllables came out of their mouths, and everyone kept cooperating, it was simply a kind of wild beauty with a natural atmosphere .

Cowboys, horses, and then horses and cowboys, the dynamics of separation and reunion between cowboys are dazzling to the eyes. Accompanied by people roaring and horses neighing, it has become a unique image in western movies, exuding a kind of masculine beauty , the beauty of power.

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

People like Zhang Chi didn't feel any beauty in it, because they were all focused on the tasks in their hands, and they didn't have time to think about whether they were handsome or charming on horseback.

At this time, they can only think about the work in hand. Once they desert, it may cause irreparable pain. At this time, you can only concentrate and be careful, and you have no time to think about how to be handsome.

That is filming, not real life. Life is never a light song, nor a lingering stage play. It is a responsibility, a heavy burden, and the explosion of friendship in labor.

But Zhang Juan, Sun Yanping, including Zhang Youpeng and Zhang's family are different. What they see is not the technical problems. Holding the reins, weaving and dividing among the horses like a juggler, and finally got the horse.

Of course it looks good, at least for people like them. At this moment, Sun Yanping realized that his riding skills, in front of these people, are not even comparable to the level of a preschool class.

Sun Yanping used to think that there was something difficult about riding a horse. Isn't it just running on a horse and doing two movements on the horse's back? I didn't grow up on a horse since I was a child, but now it seems that I am not bad at riding.

Only then did he realize why, in history, farming peoples were generally unable to deal with nomadic peoples in the wild.

The riding skills he saw now are enough to explain the problem. No matter what posture or angle the horse is riding, the cowboys on the horseback are always perpendicular to the horseback at [-] degrees.

Sometimes you see the cowboys seem to be smashed to the ground for a moment, but they still maintain this state, as if the horse is not carrying a living person, but a wooden person.

Sun Yanping admired such waist strength. He used to think that people said riding a horse to lose weight. He thought that riding a horse could not lose weight. After seeing this scene, he really believed that riding a horse can really lose weight. What kind of core strength is needed to be able to lose weight? Riding in this pose!
Kevin whispered to Cannon at this time: "BOSS's riding skills are quite high."

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

Kevin smiled: "I know."

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

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

In terms of salary alone, the treatment of Zhangchi Ranch is indeed not much different from other ranches, but it is considered as a monthly bonus, plus some dividends from selling livestock, and the annual income is obviously higher than that of nearby cowboys. Big cut.

Of course, even if it is a lot higher, it is not as high as the average salary in places like New York, but what are cowboys? They are almost all low-educated and have no knowledge. They are almost equivalent to illiterates. If you want to work, they need you too.

Don't give any examples of truck drivers making movies, that's just an example, there are so many truck drivers in the United States, besides Cameron, is there a second one to make movies?

There are people who can make a lot of money without education, but what does it have to do with ordinary people?You don't need to work as a cowboy if someone has that ability.

So Kevin has some appreciation for Zhang Chi, but if you make him feel grateful to Zhang Chi like Cannon, that is unrealistic. What Cannon and Zhang Chi have experienced, Kevin will not experience it, naturally There is no such feeling.

Sun Yanping couldn'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 told you to give up the poor riding skills you learned in the bastards and change to our riding skills. I told you that it is too urgent to change now."

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

Zhang Youpeng and Zhang Jiaren smiled and ignored her. In fact, no one taught them how to ride. The life of father and son in childhood can be said to be pasting and copying. When they were young, they herded and rode cattle. Just riding a scalper is much more difficult than a water buffalo. Generally, a scalper is not allowed to be ridden. When you can sit firmly on the back of a scalper, it is not too difficult to ride on a horse.

This riding method is the most primitive way, and it is also the most instinctive riding method. Cannon and other cowboys watched the two ride, but did not raise much opinion. Second, there was nothing awkward about their riding style.

If the posture on horseback is too ugly, then the riding style is definitely wrong; if it looks good, then the riding style is not a problem.

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

There is a saying that Taoism follows nature, that is, following 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.

"Forget it, we don't ride often, and we won't have much to ride when we get home," Zhang Jiaren said with a smile.

Sun Yanping said: "Master, why don't we find a place to raise horses when we go back? Then we can make money from outsiders."

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

Zhang Juan has never thought that her younger brother's money can be spent by herself. Although she is a bit sloppy, she also knows that she can't rely on her younger brother. She already has a family. If she takes money from her younger brother, isn't that a vampire? .Only when I earn money and spend it by myself can I look like a big sister in front of my younger brother, and I can be confident when talking to my younger brother.

She is not willing to depend on others, even if it is her own younger brother.

Sun Yanping didn't think about it either. He was big-hearted and easily satisfied, so it was impossible for him to think about his wife's brother's money.

"Let's not do big things. It's not expensive to enclose a land in my hometown. It's enough to enclose a ten-mu or twenty-mu land, raise a few horses, and pad it with mud. I think the stables of Dachi's family are also good." Just like that, we can do it," Sun Yanping said.

Zhang Youpeng said: "You have a good idea, and you will get ten or twenty acres of land at the opening of your mouth. Who will give you the land?"

Everyone was chattering, and Zhang Chi came over on horseback.

"Let's go".

Zhang Juan looked at her younger brother and asked, "Is this all right?"

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Then what else do you want?"

"You can go back when you're done, it's still early," Zhang Jiaren said.

Zhang Chi explained: "It was so fast, and now is the first call, and there are still seven or eight calls from Miller's side."

"Why catch so many horses?" Zhang Juan asked.

Zhang Chi said: "People didn't tell me, and I didn't ask. This matter has nothing to do with us."

Miller's explanation for catching horses was very vague, and Zhang Chi didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, for him, he was doing a little favor to his friend Miller. You said that whether relatives and friends opened tourist ranches, or sold these horses, and Zhang Chi has nothing to do with it.

"So what to do next? Go back?" Zhang Youpeng asked.

Zhang Chi hummed: "Go back, wait for the horses to gather again, and then you can set the second wave when you come here. The horses here are set, and maybe you have to go to other horses in the afternoon to have a look. ".

Hearing what Zhang Chi said, everyone followed Zhang Chi back to the camp on the slope.

Cannon and Kevin did not go to the camp with Zhang Chi's family. They are now riding to meet the returning cowboys. Now they are going to help the cowboys to train these horses so that they can be suitable for carriage.

If the horse cannot quickly adapt to the carriage, kicks and bites when it enters the carriage, and even hits its head on the carriage, then no matter how good the horse is, it will not stay, because there are things about the horse, but you are transporting horses on the road. A horse died at that time. First, it had a bad reputation, and second, it was troublesome to deal with the dead horse.

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

I said earlier that mares have a good personality, not as violent as stallions. This is a general evaluation, and sometimes it is not completely true when it comes to individuals. Some mares have more violent tempers than ordinary stallions.

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

There are also such shrews among horses. They bite and kick people, or they just pretend to be cute. When you get on its back, it will come to the dry land to pick the onions while you are not paying attention, and the golden rooster will be independent.

If you are unlucky, or if you are careless at this time, maybe the whole village will have to have a feast together with drums and gongs.

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