"Let me introduce to you, this is our boss." After greeting the man named Bob, Robbins said to him with a smile. After hearing Robbins' words, Old Bob Bo also shook hands with Jiang Hai happily.
Although Old Bob didn't know Jiang Hai, the recent sale of Green Forest was quite famous around here.
Many people have heard about Jiang Hai.
In the American empire, the people who should not be offended the most are the rich. Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be some stupid people.
"Hello, my name is Bob George, and I am the owner of this racecourse." When shaking hands with Jiang Hai, Bob was also introducing himself.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Hai. You can call me Jiang or Hai." Hearing Bob's words, Jiang Hai also started talking with a smile. Seeing that both of them had finished their introductions, Luo here Binns chimed in.
"Bob, this time we are here to buy some horses." Looking at Bob, Robbins said while looking at the horse farm behind.
"I know, I heard about it. Recently, that guy Lehman sent 15,000 cattle to the Green Forest. It's a big news around here. Come on, let's see what little guys there are. , I'm lucky to be seen by you." Hearing Robbins' intention, Old Bob chuckled. He had been prepared for it, so without saying anything, he led everyone to the stable at the back.
According to what Robbins said, Bob's horse farm should be considered the largest horse farm in the area.
There are more than a thousand horses in the entire horse farm, which are specially sold to farms and ranches in the east. Horse breeding is an ancestral craft of Bob's family. Even the horses in some ranches in the west are imported from him.
The ranching industry in the United States has not been very prosperous recently, so he now has some intentions of entering the horse racing industry.
But the situation currently seems not to be ideal.
While listening to Robbins' introduction, Jiang Hai and he walked into the horse farm. As soon as they walked in, there were many horses grazing in the distance and saw them. These horses were already accustomed to the presence of people. So he just raised his head and continued to eat grass, while Robbins kept staring at the horses.
"If you want to buy a horse, have you ever thought about what kind of horse you want to buy?" Bob, who was walking in front, couldn't help turning his head and asked the two of them. There were four huge stables in front of him, and he looked at the horses. We also know that the decoration of the shed is different from the horses inside.
"Is there any difference between horses?" After hearing Bob's words, Jiang Hai asked Robbins in a low voice.
Jiang Hai, like most ****, doesn't know much about horses. He just plays games or reads novels that involve some horses, such as the very famous sweat horse in China. , there are also triple horses, Yi-li horses and so on.
But when it comes to the real difference, he really isn't too sure.
"With different horse breeds, the price will naturally be different. If it is a general wild horse or a pinto horse, it will be much cheaper, and a purebred horse will be much more expensive." Although Jiang Hai's voice was not loud, But Bob still listened carefully and said to Jiang Hai with a slight smile.
The so-called wild horses are not real wild horses. After all, although there are many wild horses in North America, they are not particularly numerous. In the United States, all wild animals are protected. This is inevitable. The wild horses mentioned here are In fact, they are the remaining species after the early wild horses were domesticated. As for the piebald horses, they are the horses born after the wild horses and domestic horses were crossed, with different patterns and colors on their bodies.
These horses are not fast or powerful, but one thing is that they are easy to feed and can be used for work and riding. Generally, these horses are used in family ranches and the like. .
In addition to these horses, there are some purebred horses, which are much more expensive.
"Among the four stables, this one holds wild horses and pinto horses, and the middle one holds some quarter-level horses. If I say, for the pasture, quarters are enough. The last two stables, the middle one, This one contains purebred horses, and the last one contains racehorses. Although they haven’t won any prizes, they are indeed racehorses.” Seeing Jiang Hai’s confused eyes, Bob continued, but actually pressed Robin Si’s idea, as for herding horses, the best horse is the Quarter Horse. Of course, the main buyer of horses is Jiang Hai. You can also buy wild horses or pinto horses, but those purebred horses and racing horses cannot be herded. of.
"Let's go see purebred horses and racehorses!" Sure enough, when Jiang Hai heard that there were purebred horses and racehorses, he no longer considered quarter horses and pinto horses. Although he was about to run out of money, he still wanted to buy horses. The money should still be enough.
"Horse racing and purebred horses are different from ordinary herding horses. Most of these horses are hot-blooded, so their endurance is not strong. They are only suitable for sprinting and competition." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bob led them towards He left the purebred stable, but as he was leaving, Robbins walked to Jiang Hai's side and whispered to him.
Hearing Robbins' words, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment. Does Ma have so much more to say? Isn’t it true that the better the horse, the better
Seeing Jiang Hai's gaze, Robbins couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Jiang Hai really didn't understand anything.
"Horses are also divided into many types. The so-called herding horses first need strong physical strength and endurance. It is useless to run fast in short distances. You have to run for a long time. The second thing is to eat, and you can't be too picky. ." Looking at Jiang Hai, Robbins here continued to speak. In fact, what he said was quite implicit. In fact, after bringing a good horse home, it is almost like inviting an ancestor back, not to mention the usual When I was riding out for a ride, just the money for daily feed, grooming, and grooming required a special person to come back and take care of me. Each of those horses that would appear in international competitions must have a net worth of at least tens of thousands. , or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, those horses are really made with money, and apart from participating in competitions, these horses are extremely precious and will never be allowed to do anything else.
But now the horses that Robbins and the others want are not ancestors, but are used for grazing, so they have to pay attention.
Hearing Robbins' words, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know there were so many twists and turns.
But after all was said and done, he was going to take a look before talking, and he wasn’t going to buy these horses anyway.
Of course, Bob also knew that since Robbins was here, he couldn't let his boss buy these goods.
So he didn't plan to take Jiang Hai to watch the horse racing at all, but went directly to the third stable, which was the stable of famous horses.
No matter how expensive the horse is, it still needs to eat and poop, so the smell in the horse barn is smaller than that in the cow barn, but it is limited and basically within the acceptable range.
Entering the stable, many horses appeared in front of Jiang Hai, and Bob also began to introduce them.
"This is an Arabian horse. It is a very ancient horse breed and is also known as the strongest horse breed. It can be said that almost 90% of modern famous horses have the blood of this horse breed. It is known as the most beautiful horse. It was originally followed by the Persians. They are the ones the empire is fighting for." Walking in first, Jiang Hai saw a few horses, about 1.5 meters tall. The horses were not very tall, but they were indeed very beautiful, with big eyes and a pure white body. The hair is very well-proportioned, with almost no variegation, and is very beautiful.
"This is a thoroughbred horse, and it is also the national horse of the United Kingdom. It is almost the fastest among all horses, but its endurance is horribly poor. It can barely run a few kilometers before it is finished. It can do nothing but race horses." Behind the Arabian horse, there is the purebred horse, which dominates almost 90% of the horse racing events now, and they are the most expensive.
Compared with the Arabian horse, this horse is taller, almost 1.7 meters tall. Compared with the beauty of the Arabian horse just now, this horse can be described as majestic. The Arabian horse looks like a beauty, and this horse is a hero. From the looks of it It doesn't look like a choice at all.
"This is a Hanoverian horse. This horse is the best performance horse. It is bold, powerful, and good at jumping obstacles. It is the best horse for dressage, but it is also not suitable for herding horses."
"This is a Sisi-Franca, this is an Appaloosa, this is a Budyon..."
Following Bob's introduction, Jiang Hai also felt that his eyes were a little dazzled. Bob's horse farm is indeed one of the largest horse farms in the Boston area. There are many types of horses here, almost all of which Jiang Hai has heard of. , there are horses here that I have never heard of.
But all horses, in Bob's mouth, are the same. These horses are sold to the rich men on Wall Street. Compared with ranchers like Jiang Hai, they are not suitable for them. He introduced them while walking, and after a while, The three of them came to the innermost part of the stable.
There were several horses inside, and these horses made Jiang Hai a little curious.
"This horse is Chinese. No, it can be said to be the favorite horse of Asians. The Akhal Tekin horse is also called the sweaty horse in Asia." Bob patted the white horse next to him and said with a smile.
Hearing Bob's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a bloody horse? As soon as he heard these four words, he couldn't help but carefully look at the horse in front of him, but to be honest, Jiang Hai was not too optimistic about this horse.
Because this horse is... well, not too beautiful. Compared with Arabian horses, it is not as graceful as Arabian horses. Compared with purebred horses, it is not as tall and powerful as purebred horses. In short, it is very strange in length. It is a kind of short horse. Maomao, except for the long mane on the back of its head, does not have long hair on its body, so its skin is like that of a Shar-Pei that cannot be folded. Its face is very long, and most importantly, its ears are They are thin and long, growing straight on the head, almost like rabbit ears, which is very strange.
"Could it be that the guy who was called Pegasus at the beginning was just this guy?" Looking at the rabbit horse in front of him, Jiang Hai couldn't believe it.
