Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2762 Horse Selection
Su'er didn't take Zhiyue's words seriously.He said: "A pony is not a puppy, so you don't need to keep it with you all day. You raise it yourself, and it's likely that it will break its leg before it grows up."

In fact, both the Prince Regent's Mansion and the Prince's Courtyard have stables and specialized horse trainers, and the same is true for taking ponies back to raise.

However, due to the incident of Xiao Zhiyue riding a horse to leave home last time, both Cang Qianche and Liu Ya secretly ordered the person in charge of the horses to absolutely not allow Xiao Zhiyue to ride out without permission.

But Xiao Zhiyue disagreed, she gave Su'er a look, and ordered Qing Mo to go to the next stable.

Su'er followed behind Qing Mo, looking at Qing Mo's tall and slender figure with sympathy, but with a "little monkey" on his shoulders, he couldn't help but sigh for Qing Mo.

For Xiao Zhiyue, Su'er is not dependent on her sister, but loves and tolerates her like a sister.

So now in Su'er's eyes, it is this disobedient "little sister" who is being willful again.

After walking through both rows of stables, Xiao Zhiyue selected four ponies.

The stable boy brought out all the foals, ready to go to the empty racecourse to let the horses run for a while, and let Xiao Zhiyue finally choose which one she wanted.

Although Xiao Zhiyue said that she likes black horses, only one of the four horses she chose was pure black, but compared to the other three, she looked a little thinner.

Su'er is most optimistic about the bay red horse, with long legs, wide hooves, thick shoulder blades and a beautiful tail.

Qing Mo thought that Puma was pretty good.Because there is a kind of determination in the horse's eyes, such a horse will have good stamina when it grows up, and it will also have a character of not admitting defeat, which is most suitable as a war horse.

The other horse was a regular white horse, its coat color was not snow white, but slightly gray mottled.But the proportions of head, face, body shape, and limbs are very good. The horse boy said that this horse will be beautiful when it grows up, and its speed is also the fastest among the four horses.

Xiao Zhiyue said: "Then let them race. Or let me try riding?"

"Riding is not allowed. The horse's tooth age is too young now, and the back has no strength. If weight is applied, it will affect the bone development of the horse." Su'er said solemnly.

Qing Mo also nodded, and said: "Zhiyue, just watch them run now. If you insist on riding now, I'm afraid this horse will be useless. It won't become a qualified war horse when it grows up."

A good horse is definitely not something you can just buy from a horse dealer and ride.Conditional ones are even strictly controlled from breeding and breeding. After the pony is born, it has to go through layers of screening, and it has to be eliminated repeatedly in the process of growing up, and it is gradually trained according to the horse's habits and body characteristics.

For example, some horses are born with super endurance, but the speed is always not too fast, so there is no need to work hard to train explosive power, just let the horse adapt to long-distance running.

Some horses are born with fast legs, and they run at an amazing speed, but their stamina must be increased appropriately to avoid poor stamina.It is also necessary to let the horse know how to control its own strength, how to run fast and save energy.

To sum up, the cultivation of any war horse consumes a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and the horse itself has excellent innate conditions.

Therefore, it would be a pity if such a horse damaged the structure of its body skeleton due to heavy loads when it was young.

What Qing Mo said seemed to make sense, Xiao Zhiyue agreed with a smile.He stuck out his tongue at Su'er and made a grimace.

From Xiao Zhiyue's point of view, Su'er is her younger brother, but he knows more than her in everything, knows everything clearly, and coaxes her like a little girl, she is not used to it.

But Xiao Zhiyue didn't know that her cute, playful and playful appearance recently was quite different from the brutal and domineering she used to be in the countryside.No matter how you look at it, she is a little girl who can act like a baby and loves to play.

Qing Mo couldn't help turning his head to look at the little Zhiyue who was sitting firmly on his shoulders, and suddenly felt sore in his heart.

If it wasn't for a moment of negligence that made her leave for so many years, this little girl should have grown up slowly sitting on his shoulders.

The more he thought about it, the more Qing Mo felt that losing many years for no reason, and not being able to grow up with her, was the most regrettable thing in his life.

Qing Mo was slightly distracted, the stable boy had already led the horse around the racecourse and began to walk.

Being a stable boy is hard work, because they do all the work of walking the horses.Every day, I have to lead the foal and trot around the racecourse a few times, and I have to brush and feed the horse.

However, these four stable boys have very good foot strength. They started jogging while leading the pony, and they did not fall behind as their speed gradually increased.

It wasn't until the bones and tendons of the four ponies were stretched that they let go of their hands and let the four ponies gallop around the racecourse.

Xiao Zhiyue widened her eyes and stared at her favorite black horse, but it was a pity that it always ran at the rear, and occasionally accelerated but failed to catch up with the three horses in front.

After the stable boy let the four horses run three laps on their own, he ran forward and restrained the horses.However, they couldn't stop the horses right away, and each led the pony around twice before bringing the horses back to Zhiyue and the others.

After this exercise, the four ponies were panting slightly, and their necks were still slightly wet with sweat.

The little black horse even shook its mane and snorted constantly, as if it was a bit unwilling to admit defeat.

Su'er raised his head and asked Qing Mo, "Senior Brother Qing Mo, which horse do you think is the best?"

Qing Mo's eyes swept over the four horses one by one, and said with a smile: "I can't say which one is the best, each has its own merits. The puma I like is not the fastest, nor is it the most durable. Okay. But I found that when it runs, its muscles and breathing are coordinated quite well. After this horse is raised, it will have a lot of stamina and a calm personality. It is definitely a good horse on the battlefield."

Su'er also said: "The bay red horse has the best explosive power and the fastest speed. When you let them run by themselves, it always rushes ahead. The white horse is also very good, with good posture and good stamina. Never got left behind by the other two horses."

Xiao Zhiyue pouted and said, "You guys said this and that, why didn't you say that my Xiao Hei is the best?"

"It's called Xiao Hei?" Qing Mo smiled, and said: "Now that I have given it a name, does Zhiyue decide to want this little black horse?"

"Well, yes. Although it doesn't run the fastest, and its stamina doesn't seem to be the strongest, but it has always been very competitive." Xiao Zhiyue pointed to the little black horse and said: "You have also seen that, Its physical strength is actually not as good as the other three horses, but it always keeps itself from falling behind. It has a kind of spirit..."
