v2 Chapter 1289: .The town and the carriage (4/5)
Quat horses have great short-distance sprints, but their ability to travel long distances is average. When riding this kind of horses, they need to be given enough rest.
Of course, if you just want to enjoy the thrill of sprinting across the horse, the quarter horse is a very suitable choice.
From the early morning riding to nine o'clock, the sun began to burn, Polly wiped his sweat and said: "Well, guys, we'd better come here for the time being, the horses are a little tired, let them take a rest."
From six o'clock to the present, except for the break time, the quarters ran for two and a half hours, and their bodies became sweaty. With a touch of their hands, the palms were all sweat.
Qin Shiou jumped off his horse, reached out and patted Frederick’s ass, letting him trot and relax.
Mao Weilong also let go of his red-haired steed, and he walked over and asked: "How is it, how is it going to be riding?"
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "It's okay, but the **** hurts after riding too much."
Mao Weilong looked at his legs with weird eyes, a smile appeared on his face and said: "It's okay, your **** won't hurt tomorrow."
Qin Shiou didn’t understand what he was saying, and said triumphantly: “Of course, my buddy’s recovery ability is so strong that I don’t need tomorrow, I’ll be fine tonight.”
The two chatted. Several horses walked freely on the farm. When they reached a wheat field, they ate in the green wheat seedlings.
Mao Weilong looked anxious, and hurried over to drive away the horses. Qin Shiou said, "You just let them eat a few bites. Why are they so stingy? How many wheat shoots can these horses eat?"
"You know what a fart, I sprayed the wheat fields with pesticides only two days ago. They don't need to eat much wheat seedlings. They have to pull out the intestines today." Mao Weilong said angrily.
Polly helped bring several horses over, and then taught Qin how to wipe the horses with sweat, and said, "When your partner is sweating, you must remember to wipe it. Otherwise, they will easily catch a cold. Of course, summer is better, but some good habits must be cultivated, right?"
Qin Shiou nodded in agreement, took a towel and wiped Frederick's body. Soon a towel became soggy, I didn't see the horse sweating so much.
Vini smiled while scrubbing her horse and said to Polly: "I can see that you are a horse lover, and Black Pearl is well taken care of by you. I can feel her vitality when I ride on her."
Polly smiled and said: "Yes, I like horses very much. In fact, my first job as a horse trainer as an adult was a horse trainer. Later, I ran a horse farm for a while. Unfortunately, the funding pressure was too great, and it was eventually closed."
Mao Weilong added: “Poly’s ranch has the most horses in the town. He is an expert in raising horses. The four horses I bought were all good horses, right?”
Hearing this, Polly's mood became a little low. Said: "I'm afraid I have to learn from old Weber. There are a lot of horses in the ranch. It's better to sell a few, otherwise my credit card can't stand it."
In Canada, raising a horse seriously is more troublesome than raising a car. Horses need to be taken care of. Once they are not well taken care of, they are easy to get sick. It is quite expensive to hire a veterinarian to treat horses.
In addition, horses must eat pasture every day, and they must be fed with soybeans, carrots and other vegetables at intervals to supplement their nutrition. This is also quite costly.
In particular, the price of forage in Canada has increased this year. Because of the snow disaster last winter, many pastures died from freezing and frostbite, and the growth of underground grass species was even worse. Since spring, many pastures have experienced poor harvests.
Qin Shiou wanted to comfort Polly. But there is nothing appropriate to say that Polly’s economic situation is clearly not very good. Otherwise, he would not have to slaughter cattle and sheep himself and risk being punished by the IRS and the Health Bureau to make a small profit.
Vini showed an expression of interest and asked: "Polly, do you want to sell horses? How many horses do you want to sell?"
Poly sighed: "I have 22 horses now, and the economic capacity of the ranch is at most 14 or 15 horses. I have to sell seven or eight horses."
Mao Weilong asked Qin Shiou quietly: “Do you want to play with horses? Keep a few horses. It’s a good time to buy horses. This year’s pasture harvest has been poor and the economic situation is poor. The price of ordinary horses has dropped to the lowest point in the past five years.”
Qin Shiou doesn't care about the price, but he doesn't like riding horses. Maybe because of the long contact with the sea, he prefers to drive boats to deal with the sea. There are cars on land, so riding horses can only be regarded as a little pastime.
Buy two horses for indifferent pastime? Qin Shiou thinks it's fine. He can buy a car, but he doesn't want to buy a horse. Horses are living creatures and need to be taken care of all the time. He doesn't have so much idle time.
Furthermore, he rode a horse for a while, and he was looking forward to it before riding, but after the freshness, he felt nothing.
Then he shook his head and signaled that Mao Weilong was not interested.
Kevini seemed very interested, she asked Polly: "Are there seven or eight horses? How old are they? What breed? How much do you want to sell?"
Hearing what Winnie said, Polly knew what she meant, and was overjoyed: "Are you interested, Mrs. Qin? They are all Quatma, aged between four and twelve. Although there is no proof of ancestry, Mao knows that I am all good horses, and the price is easy to say."
The overall economic situation of the horse market is similar to that of Canada. It is quite sluggish, and it may continue to be sluggish, so it is best to deal with horses as soon as possible.
Mao Weilong looked at Qin Shiou, who had no choice but to shrug her shoulders again and said: "Vini is happy, she can buy it if she wants."
After listening to him, Winnie smiled and said, "No, I didn’t buy it, but the town needs it. Didn’t we say that our tour has encountered a bottleneck? We had a meeting last week and wanted to broaden the tour route. It should be good to add an ancient medieval carriage project."
Qin Shiou suddenly, bid farewell to the town, where you can indeed take a horse-drawn carriage for sightseeing. The area of the town is relatively large and the horse-drawn carriage can run away. The current selling point of the town is its quaint simplicity. It retains many buildings in the 18th and 19th centuries, and it is really unique when paired with old-fashioned carriages.
Horse-drawn carriage sightseeing is a traditional Canadian tourism project, but St. John's did not develop it. This is a port city, the terrain is not flat enough, and the traffic conditions are average. If there are carriages entering the traffic, it will be even worse.
However, other cities have related projects. For example, in the "Old Town", a tourist hotspot in Montreal, horse-drawn carriage sightseeing is a classic project that has been going on for many years. Some tourists take pictures of Malaysia, and some take horse-drawn carriages in the old town Wandering for dozens of minutes and listening to the coachman explaining the history is very popular.
