The so-called Dressage is a unique discipline for riding a horse and it required the Horse and the Rider to be in perfect sync. Dressage is an Olympic discipline, enjoying great international popularity internationally.
It is also known as Figure Riding and Horse Race, which was a sport that evolved from military training, testing the horse’s obedience, flexibility, and coordination with the rider.
“Here we go.” Su Jing sat upright, and the Little White Horse suddenly moved. Its footsteps were very brisk and it seemed to be dancing.
It ran to the open space in the center of the yard and then began a more complex series of dance steps, Chang Running, Backward and Slow Steps, Change Direction, Diagonal Steps, Fast Steps in place, Spin…
The Little White Horse did a series of difficult movements and it did it with an ease that shouldn’t have been possible. The Little White Horse did those movements gracefully and lightly as if it was performing a ballet.
Liu Qing, Shi Qing, Yang Wei, and Lu Qingya were all dumbfounded. Liu Qing is knowledgeable, and the three girls have seen it on TV. However, they have never seen any horse did these movements so elegant and briskly. Watching it dance, is simply a kind of enjoyment.
Some people say that the Dressage is the ballet performance of Horses, and some people say that the Dressage is the highest state of Horse Riding art, and the dance steps of this White Horse are the best interpretation of those words.
It is not an exaggeration to say that all words of praise would be exhausted upon this White Horse.
“Not bad, right? I learned it from watching TV videos and dance steps I found online.” Su Jing asked.
“It was more than passable, it was perfect, it was perfect!” Liu Qing is not a judge, but no judge would give any other evaluation after seeing such an elegant and brisk Dressage. Even an Expert would be able to see that this is a high level even in professional Dressage competitions.
“This Horse is so amazing.”
“It’s so cute, I really want a horse too.”
Yang Wei and Lv Qingya also could not help but say, to be honest, they didn’t dare to ride horses before in the past as they felt that it was very dangerous.
However, after seeing this Horse and after watching the Dance Steps performed by it, their hearts felt like they were going to melt. It would be great if they can ride such a horse and dance and have such a pet.
“Wait, Brother Jing, these are not the only set of actions, right?” Liu Qing suddenly thought of a problem, that is, she couldn’t see the cooperation between Su Jing and the White Horse as the White Horse seemed to follow a set of actions step by step.
However, the scoring of Dressage depends not only on the movements of the Horse, but also on the posture of the person, and the cooperation between the Person and the Horse.
Every movement of the Horse is controlled by the person riding on it through the reins and the ciphers of the feet. The Judges will score depending upon this cooperation as it is very important in Dressage.
“Who told you that we can only do one set of movements, you can instruct us and see whether we can do it or not.” Su Jing laughed as he spoke.
“Can I still give instructions?” Liu Qing was stunned, and said, “Then step diagonally to the left.”
The next moment, the White Horse immediately stepped diagonally to the left and Liu Qing’s eyes lit up as she watched this scene, and then she instructed them to step back slowly and the White Horse immediately executed this instruction.
Liu Qing instructed a series of actions, disrupting the sequence, and the White Horse could still fully cooperate.
Liu Qing understood now that it was not the White Horse that listened to her own words, but Su Jing was controlling the Horse, but Su Jing was not relying on the reins and she didn’t know how did he give out his command to control it.
If Su Jing wants to participate in a competition then he would just need to put on the reins and saddle. For ordinary riders, the Reins and saddle are necessary, but for Su Jing, they are just there for the look.
“Brother Jing, this Horse is so perfect, let me be its Agent.” Liu Qing was very excited.
“Don’t get me wrong, this horse belongs to me and it is not going in any competition, I will give you another one later.” Su Jing said, letting Liu Qing feel empty happiness.
But she thought of Su Jing buying Race Horses and became happy again. It seems that he will train a few more Horses. She doesn’t want them to be as perfect as this horse but as long as they can be at the same level as Qin Xulan’s horse then that should be enough.
“You call the Race Horse owner and we will go see them tomorrow?” Su Jing said.
“Sure.” Liu Qing immediately called and the Race Horse Owner and asked if they could meet tomorrow.
Liu Qing hung up the phone after some time and said, “Brother Jing, the Race Horse owner still loves his horses, so he doesn’t want to sell them to someone who doesn’t know anything about horses. Let’s take a dressage video like the one we just did and show it to him, so he will talk better and we would be able to buy Horses more easily.”
“Okay.” Su Jing rode the White Horse and performed another Dressage which Liu Qing helped to film with her cell phone, while Yang Wei and Qingya Lu couldn’t resist taking a video for their own enjoyment or to show off to their friends.
After playing for a while, Liu Qing, Yang Wei, and Lu Qingya left because it was getting dark. Early the next morning, Liu Qing came to Su Jing, and the two went to the place where the Race Horse Owner lived.
Su Jing and Liu Qing went to Horse Race Track, and the owner personally came out to greet them. The owner is a Short-Cut Middle-Aged Man with a rare surname called Baili Ting.
He has a simple smile on his face as he welcomes Su Jing and Liu Qing in a very warm manner. But when they entered the ranch, they found that there were two other groups of people who seemed to be visiting the Ranch.
One of them turned out to be Cheng Miaojin, the Horse Race owner who sold the Little White Horse to Su Jing last time.
Many sellers like to bring buyers together to look at the goods at the same time, in addition to saving time, the biggest advantage of this is to let the buyers have a sense that if they do not get started quickly then the Horse they selected will be snatched up by others, so it is easy to sell them at high prices.
Su Jing understands this and has no problem with it, but he was quite surprised to see Cheng Miaojin here as he also has a Ranch and a Horse Race track and he wouldn’t need anymore Horses seeing that he sold the Little White Horse last time.
“Haha, Mr. Su, I didn’t expect to see you here. Are you also here to buy a horse, or are you interested in Race Horses?” Cheng Miaojin saw Su Jing and said enthusiastically as if he knew Su Jing well.
“I’m a little interested in this Race Horses, so is Mr. Cheng?” Su Jing smiled lightly.
“Hehe, I’m really interested, but if Mr. Su likes it, I won’t fight with you.” Cheng Miaojin laughed.
Su Jing judged from his mental fluctuations that he was not lying, it seems that he was really not very interested in this Race Horse and he is probably here with a dispensable pick-up mentality.
Su Jing can guess that Cheng Miaojin will only purchase the Horse if the owner of Race Horse is really anxious to get rid of it and lower the price to a very low level.
