Chapter 240 The whole clan learns to ride horses
After a few days, the tribesmen were still riding with ease.
It's time for everyone in the tribe to learn horseback riding. By extending the front line a little, by the time of the Spring Fair, everyone in the tribe will be able to ride well.
Moreover, after teaching the tribesmen, they still have to be busy training horse-like beasts.
……
However, the quantity is not large. After all, the tribe has been riding for 150 days.
The remaining elderly were too old to withstand the turbulence and stress. Young children, of course, couldn't learn either; the danger was too great. They had to wait until they were at least eight years old.
There are also some human beings who have become disabled due to injuries, some in the waist, some in the shoulders, and some in the legs.
This kind of tribesmen also have no way to learn to ride horses.
Of course, there is another type of people, namely pregnant females.
Wu was helped down by Lei early in the morning and sat in front of the fence of the horse training field.
He took the pulses of all the mated females in the tribe to check if they were pregnant.
After all, Wu also knew that the snow season this year was too good, and these young people had to go through a lot.
This is because we are worried that some females may not be able to find out that they are pregnant because their bodies have not yet reacted due to the early stages of pregnancy.
Just in case, these females will not be tired from the long bumpy ride, and it would be bad if they fell off the horse.
If you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.
There were as many as 19 females present who had just been found to be pregnant!
Add to that Yun and the other four pregnant females, as well as He and Yu who had just gotten pregnant...
That means there are now 26 pregnant women in the tribe...
Sang Tian couldn't help but give them a thumbs up in his heart.
Sure enough, all the quarrels I have endured these days were not in vain.
Everyone still has something...
……
The females were also surprised and happy.
They had no idea they were pregnant. If Lei and Wu hadn't carefully checked, they wouldn't have known what would happen if they were jostled on horseback at such a young age.
Their partners quickly brought them back to the cave and let them lie down on the kang to recuperate.
……
As a result, there are only about seventy people in the tribe who can learn to ride horses.
If we divide the work equally, two people will teach one person how to ride a horse. This is much easier and will definitely help you learn faster.
Sang Tian was taught to ride a horse by Cang and Han.
That horse was another tamed horse.
It was a docile chestnut-colored horse, not particularly tall, and perfect for Sang Tian to ride.
Moreover, Sang and Cang were often together, and over the past few days, the horse had become accustomed to and familiar with Sang Tian's voice and smell, greatly reducing the possibility of accidents and danger.
Sang Tian fed the bay horse some carrots and patted its head. The horse didn't seem to resist.
This ancient horse was indeed tall. Sang Tian was nearly 1.7 meters tall, and he couldn't reach the reins even when he stretched out his arms.
Cang held Sang's right waist with one hand, and Sang Tian used the force to step onto the stirrup with his left foot, then grabbed the reins with his left hand and jumped onto the horse with his right leg.
With the experience of being ridden these past few days, the horse has become accustomed to it and has no reaction.
He stayed five meters away, primarily to see Sang's condition and movements on horseback. If he saw any misunderstandings, he would point them out and correct them. If he sensed any danger, he would react quickly.
The horse was quite tall. Sang Tian sat firmly on the horse's back. The perspective he saw was completely different from what he usually saw, which was quite fresh.
Cang in the underground was holding a rope, just in case.
While leading the horse, he said to Sang on the horse: "Hold the reins tightly and lean forward. Try to pull the reins first and control the horse to walk left and right."
Sang Tian did as Cang said.
She tried to pull the reins in her hand, or pull them left or right. Sure enough, the horse would move and turn left or right according to the direction she pulled the reins.
When the turn reaches a certain size, the horse will turn left or right.
At first, the orders given by Sang Tian were not very clear, but gradually he became more and more proficient and was able to pull the horse to turn.
Cang looked at Sang Tian's clever appearance and smiled unconsciously: "Good riding."
Sang Tian also felt that he had some talent for it and was able to get the hang of it quickly.
Sang Tian wanted to ride and run.
But Cang didn't allow it. The time was too short, and Sang Tian didn't have much experience in riding horses. He was not very familiar with those special instructions. If it was his first time on the horse, he would want to run soon after getting on the horse.
It's really too risky.
It is best to spend three more days to familiarize yourself with the horse. During these three days, you will be able to skillfully control the horse to turn and canter at different speeds.
Wait three days before starting your running practice.
After all, these horses weren't born and raised in stables...
Wildness is their nature...
……
The tribesmen are also making good progress.
Even though the horses were a little manic, each tribe member was accompanied by two coaches who quickly calmed them down.
Nothing unexpected happened.
Just follow this pace and there will be no problem.
……
Three days later.
Sang Tian and his tribesmen officially started horse racing.
After Sang Tian sat firmly, he grabbed the reins and leaned forward.
Then he squeezed the horse's belly and raised the reins.
The horse did run.
The speed was very fast, and Sang Tian felt a little scared.
When the wind and snow blew on my face and body, my hair flew behind me, and every inch of my skin breathed with the wind, so wantonly and bright. The scenery around me passed by quickly.
So this is what it feels like to ride a horse...
The vast vitality stretches and contracts on the horse's back, which represents the vastness of life and the continuity of life.
Life is a wilderness!
Sang Tian discovered that as long as he didn't give the "whoosh" command and loosened the reins, the horse would slow down, but if he gave the "go" command and tightened the reins at the same time, the horse would speed up.
Based on these situations, Sang Tian quickly figured out the trick to control the horse's speed while it was running.
If you follow these tips and practice riding for a few days, you will be able to ride well.
The tribesmen understood things more slowly than Sang Tian, but they also figured out some tricks after a day.
After a few days, you will be able to ride it well.
Sang Tian even discovered that some children aged eight and above but under fifteen found it easier to ride horses than they did.
It may be because they are lighter in weight, which basically means they are no burden to the horses.
……
After five days, all the tribesmen who had learned to ride horses were already riding very well.
This process has come to an end.
When you want to ride, you can find a horse you are familiar with and practice riding it for a while.
And these one hundred and fifty males went to train the donkeys.
This time it was different. There were three hundred donkeys, just enough for each person to tame two.
It doesn't need to be trained very well, as long as it can carry things.
……
Sang Tian occasionally practices horse riding.
The rest of the time, she'd either nestle on her warm kang, or sit by the stove brewing her health-enhancing tea, occasionally getting tipsy with a glass of fruit wine. Or she'd research new dishes and drinks. From time to time, she'd invite them over for a meal. And then there was the matter of raising her two tiger cubs to be fat and plump.
The two tiger cubs have become fat as balls because they haven't exercised much in the past few days.
I must tame them first when spring comes.
Otherwise, he would not have any dignity as the king of beasts.
Apart from this, Sang Tian had nothing else to do.
Although life is comfortable, it is also very boring.
Just when Sang Tian had nothing to do and couldn't sleep late at night, something big happened quietly.
