pasture leisure

The pony stuck his neck, dragged the noose back desperately, and from time to time squinted at Zhang Chi and the others.

Zhang Chi and Kevin took their lasso off the pony's neck one after another, so that only Cannon's noose was still around the pony's neck.

"Bring some oats," Cannon and Kevin said.

Zhang Chi said at this time: "I'll go back and get it!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Chi took the reins of the horse, and Chi Yanshan ran up the hillside with a trot, and then returned to the camp.

At this time, everyone had a good rest, and the cowboys who had work were sorting out their things, and they were not too busy. Everyone was a little lazy, and some people were tidying up while drinking coffee.

Naturally, there are fewer people who don’t have someone to feed their mounts. For cowboys, the horses they ride must be the most satisfactory. Only when people and horses reach a certain tacit understanding can they ride all the time. Therefore, taking care of horses has become every cowboy’s life. a part of.

Zhang Chi pretended to be looking for something and climbed into the tent. At this time, both grandpa and father had rested, and there was no one else in the tent.

A bag was pulled out from the gourd, and some apples produced by the family this year were placed in the bag. These apples taste good, but they are not very good in size.

It is not that the fruit of the fruit tree is not good, but that there are always some useless fruits on the fruit tree, and these belong to those useless fruits.

It was originally dry food from Chiyan Mountain, but now that a new pony has been caught, it is natural to bring it over to give the pony a good impression.

Horses are timid, and they are also gluttons. Let’s put it this way, if you can make a horse feel that you have food, drink, and fun with you, then even if you kill these horses, they will not Run to the wild and follow the horses.

The reason is very simple, since there are free meals, why do you need to be exposed to the sun in summer, snow in winter, drenched in the rain and hungry, hoping that the thunder will not strike you?

Don't think how low the IQ of the horse is. In terms of survival, the horse is also clear.

Analyzing it, this is the key to modern equestrian training: give food and drink, greet them with a smile, and let the horse feel that there is meat to follow you!

It's not like before, just do it directly. When you beat the horse to subdue it, the horse will be honest.

Carrying seven or eight small apples out of the tent, when he came to Chiyanshan, he stuffed one for Chiyanshan.

Hanging the bag on the head of the saddle, Zhang Chi got on the horse, and just sat firmly, a horse came over and fumbled for the apple bag on Zhang Chi's saddle.

This horse does not belong to Zhang Chi's family, nor does it belong to Miller. Of course, Zhang Chi knows Miller's horse, so this horse can only belong to the cowboys who came to help.

Stretching out his hand and pushing the horse's head away, Zhang Chi touched an apple from the bag, reached out and broke it into two pieces, put half into the horse's mouth, and gnawed the other half into his own mouth.

"go!"

Chi Yanshan doesn't like this kind of fellow who comes to his side to eat, but Chi Yanshan has a good temper. If it were changed to a big secret realm, he would have opened his mouth to bite it.

Back below, I saw Cannon and Pony looking at each other, staring at each other.

At this time, the pony still straightened its four hooves, stuck its body on the ground, and pulled the noose around its neck with its own weight and strength, while Cannon's horse was motionless now, as a seven or eight As a middle-aged horse, Cannon's mount obviously knew what to do, and he had done it countless times, so he could already skillfully deal with a fluffy pony under the command of his master.

"Cannon!"

Zhang Chi took out an apple and threw it to Cannon.

Cannon took the apple, wiped it with his hand, and then put it to his mouth and took a bite.

Click!

After a crisp sound, a gap appeared on the originally round apple.

Cannon chewed.

Zhang Chi, who was watching from the side, felt that he could feel the sweet, crunchy and juicy apple in Cannon's mouth.

Kevin was obviously greedy by the way Cannon was eating apples. He led his horse over, took an apple from his pocket, wiped it on his front, and took a bite.

"It's not so delicious, isn't it?" Kevin muttered after taking a bite of the apple.

As long as there are fruits on the fruit trees at home, the cowboys can pick and eat them, so Kevin has eaten the fruits grown on the ranch.

They all taste good, but what Cannon ate just now was too attractive, which made Kevin a little suspicious that what he ate was not the same kind of fruit as Cannon ate.

Cannon took another bite from the apple at this time, and walked towards the pony while chewing, slowly, almost one step at a time.

As soon as he heard it, he chewed the apple in big mouthfuls, so that the pony could hear the sound of the apple in his mouth.

Obviously Xiaoma is not as old and cunning as Cannon. Xiaoma first looked vigilant, and gradually his eyes were attracted by Cannon. Of course, Xiaoma's attention must be on Apple, and it is impossible to be in Cannon. This old face is rough and rough, not to mention not attractive to horses, even to people.

The pony smelled the fruity aroma, and couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

Boom!

Although the movement was small, it was still captured by Cannon.

"Hi! Boy! I was wrong, it was a girl, hi girl!"

Cannon has a smile on his face, like a wolf grandmother approaching a young girl.

"Grasp……".

Just when Cannon was about to get close to the pony, Zhang Juan ran over excitedly, and said something at the top of her voice, immediately making all of Cannon's previous efforts come to naught.

Howling!
Xiao Zai stood up, looking like he wanted to trample Cannon to death with his front hooves.

Fortunately, Cannon was alert and took two steps back in an instant, and at the same time a whistle sounded.

Cannon's mount immediately stepped back, and the pony that had just stood up was pulled down and put down its front hooves.

"Stand farther away, what kind of excitement are you coming here at this time, don't you see that the horses are being trained?" Zhang Chi said to his sister.

At this time, Zhang Juan also knew that she had made a mistake, and immediately apologized to the two cowboys: "SORRY!"

Cannon and Kevin can’t understand what I said later, but I didn’t notice it, but they also know that it can’t be true. Who the hell is it? What about BOSS's sister?

"fine".

After replying, Cannon turned his attention to Xiaoma again, and the prop to attract Xiaoma was still the half-pulled apple in Cannon's hand.

As for Zhang Juan, she stood honestly with her younger brother. The siblings shared an apple, gnawing on it while watching Cannon approach the pony.

Cannon did not fail this time, and the pony ate half of the apple in Cannon's hand.

When he put the other half into the pony's mouth, Cannon stepped back slowly, and at the same time hooked his hands behind his back a few times.

Kevin understood, and when Cannon retreated to a safe distance, he put an apple cut into seven or eight pieces into the hand behind his back.

Then Cannon approached the pony again.

This time, Cannon stood next to the pony and fed them piece by piece. Waiting for the pony's wariness to disappear, Cannon stroked the bridge of the pony's nose. What, waiting for an apple to be fed, the pony has already lost the strong dislike for Cannon.

Another apple came next, and Cannon stepped away from the pony, stretching out his hand for the pony to come and eat.

After eating such an apple, the pony followed Cannon obediently, and just like that, the pony was successfully brought into the hitch field next to the camp by Cannon.

At this place, two horses were caught in the morning, and the three horses were together, as if they had a company, and they became quiet.

"This pony is so beautiful, the color is very rare, sandy white with lava red, it's just a little short...".

At this time, an old cowboy passed by. He leaned over his horse and looked at the pony he had just captured, and gave him a fair evaluation.

The pony is a little short, about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder. In fact, this kind of horse is not short anymore, but the old cowboy is tall and big. Considering his height, this kind of horse is indeed It's a bit short, at least 1.6 meters should be suitable for him to ride.

But as Zhang Juan's mount, it must be enough. Let's put it this way, Zhang Juan has to lead the horses to the side of the corridor when Zhang Juan gets on the horses of the horses in Zhang Chi's house. .

Next, everyone who passes by Xiaoma has to say something, everyone is boasting about the color of the coat, what else?Not at all, what kind of boasting do they have.

With such a color, and with the addition of Shenjun, how could such a pony grow to such a large size that no one wanted it, and how could it be possible for Zhang Juan to fancy it.

Although it is a wild horse, there are dozens of people who come to catch the wild horse every year. The outstanding color, coupled with a slightly better performance, has long been captured.

"George".

Miller rode his own horse and gestured to Zhang Chi as he passed by.

Zhang Chi smiled and stepped on the horse, joined the working team and went downhill with everyone to catch the horse.

After capturing three more horses from the herd, Mawang and the horses seemed to finally understand that if they didn't leave and avoid these bastards, their own horses would continue to lose horses.

Ma Wang, who was deeply aware of this point, led the horses to run away. According to the habit, the horses would not appear again for at least three to five days.

The horses flashed away, but Miller and the others were still not in a hurry, because everyone knew that there could be no horses in this land of geomantic omen.

Sure enough, the group of horses with the second largest number of horses in this area soon came bumping over. They might feel happy that they have picked up a bargain, but who knew that they were already being watched as soon as they stepped here.

"Let's go, the new one is here, everyone is going to work."

With Miller's shout, all the cowboys got on their horses laughing, and everyone followed their leaders back to the plain.

With the sound of hooves, another pony soon fell into the hands of humans.

It wasn't until late in the day that everyone caught ten horses. Today's task was more than half completed, and the rest could only be saved until tomorrow. No one had practiced catching horses at night.

Fortunately, everyone is not in a hurry, it will be late at night, at most, we will go home after noon tomorrow.
