Hokkaido Horse Racing Story

On the contrary, the disadvantages have been inherited on a large scale.

This is also one of the main reasons why the golden ship's foals have long been difficult to fetch high prices.

So, do you want to take action?

Judging from the circling gait, the flexibility should be above the passing level.

As for the horse's body information above this, it is currently unknown.

"Eleven million, the Golden Ship born from the Golden Journey and the blood of Mejiro McQueen, eleven million yen!"

The auctioneer even began to use the rhetoric of sentiment.

I have to admit that this method is indeed useful.

Especially for Kitano.

"Oh eh."

He raised his arms calmly.

After a brief hesitation, several horse owners around who were eager to try gave up bidding.

"Eleven million! Is there any other price? Twelve million—"

If you can't run out, returning to the ranch for a sightseeing horse ride is also a good option.

Of course, it is a bit too early to think about this now.

Kitano began to pack up the things at hand, and Lavid beside him also started to get busy.

"Are you leaving, President?"

The Indian asked after zipping up his backpack and making sure nothing was left behind.

"Let's go back after we finish the formalities."

Kitano nodded and closed the auction brochure in his hand.

The budget of 12 million yen has been almost spent here.

"Eleven million yen! Thank you very much to customer number one thousand and thirty-first."

After the sound of the gavel, both of them stood up.

"Then we'll take our leave, Master Wu."

Still struggling with his goal, Takeyuki Shiro raised his head and then stood up as well.

"Okay, please take care of yourself."

As soon as Kitano left, Takeyuki Shiro sat back down in his seat and returned to the auction with a gloomy face.

"It is indeed the foal of the Golden Ship—"

On the other side, after completing the payment, Kitano finally got the opportunity to observe Fenian Cycle2025 up close.

While walking, you can feel the good elasticity of your legs and your steps are quite light.

However, the looseness of the body becomes more exposed and obvious upon closer inspection.

Especially the hind legs, which made him doubt whether the deer-hair horse could perform well in short-distance competitions.

While the staff was registering, I looked up relevant information about the production ranch.

It's a little bit bad.

Although I have won major central awards such as the Daily Crown in the past, it was many years ago.

In recent years, the foaling record and AEI (average earnings index) of "Gerbera Park Stud" in Urakawa have been declining.

Especially after the ranch's long-time representative colts Nishiyama Kakusuki and Yoshino Shuhi retired one after another, the embarrassing situation of the colt's performance became more obvious.

After seeing the list of wins filled with undefeated battles and local class competitions, Kitano slowly made up his mind.

"Lavid."

He stopped the Indian man who was packing up the documents and pointed to the parking lot. "Go to the Oe Society's headquarters and rent a horse carriage."

"Do we want to bring them back to the ranch and tame them ourselves?"

Lavid asked.

"Yes, I'm counting on you for this."

While in Bombay, Ravid worked in production and colt training.

Being responsible for the late taming of the Fenian Cycle 2025 should not be a problem.

However, after the transfer, the development of the track during the preparation period became a problem.

The space at Mejiro Ranch is limited, and there is no outdoor track training venue except for a short 100-meter slope connecting to the back mountain.

Of course, the situation at Gerbera Park Stud isn't much better.

If that doesn't work, you can also entrust Nishiken or Xinsheng Ranch with breeding after the animal is two years old.

With this in mind, Kitano submitted an application to transfer the ranch.

With the cooperation of the Hokkaido market, the relevant procedures were completed quickly.

Lavid also completed the car rental task.

“This horse has a very stable character, so training should be relatively easy.”

After successfully leading the deer-hair horse onto the carriage, the Indian responded with a smile.

Generally speaking, one-year-old and two-year-old ponies who have less training will be more sensitive to the outside world.

Especially in today's completely unfamiliar environment.

Fenian Cycle2025, like a mature racehorse, entered the carriage very smoothly.

"Also, its hooves are very soft, and its body is more flexible than it looks."

Lavid continued.

"In that case, the child might have potential in dressage."

Kitano nodded slightly in response.

Then he started the vehicle and followed the horse carriage like an escort.

The sun had just reached a point a little past noon, and the smell of burnt asphalt in the air was not yet noticeable.

Driving eastward along the romantic street of Youjun, the reflection of the sea made people squint.

When we returned to the ranch, Rachel Ho, who claimed to have needed to catch up on sleep, was still watching anime with Zep.

"The boss is back, you guys."

When he came out to greet them, Zep scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Yes, the ranch has no auction plans until November."

After parking the car, Kitano nodded and smiled.

In any case, it is a good thing to achieve the goals of the summer auction in the shortest possible time.

"Oh, it's a new member!"

Rachel Ho clapped her hands together, making a "snap" sound.

Then, he couldn't wait to run over and help Lavid take over the carriage.

Kitano followed slowly behind and came to the location of the horse carriage.

“It’s in very good condition.”

After getting off the car with the deer-hair horse, Lavid smiled and made an "OK" gesture.

Fenian Cycle2025 stopped and observed the environment of the ranch as if examining something.

Then, he nodded as if in agreement.

It seems that at least he doesn't dislike the environment of his new home.

As Lavid bent over to clean the new stable, the white horse, hearing the noise, poked its head out to observe.

After discovering the strange foal in front of it, the reed-haired horse tilted its head with some curiosity.

After blinking his small black eyes, the white horse suddenly made a strange face and let out a few short neighs.

The deer-hair horse took a few steps back as if startled.

"Don't scare the newbies, Pegasus!"

Chapter 150 Bear Infestation

August 29, 6:09 am.

After all, it was Saturday morning, and it was rare for me to get up a little later than usual.

He lifted the quilt and a yawn came to his mouth but was forced back.

Slowly, I finally changed my clothes.

"call--"

When I opened the door, the breath of the night turned into a cool breeze that blew in my face.

At this moment, the remaining sleepiness was completely blown away.

Ahead of me, there was a newly paved road leading to the stables.

This is another investment that is no less than the renovation of the stables.

The stables, training and rehabilitation centers, grazing paths, and other areas where horses frequently pass by use a base road material that is compacted mixture of crushed stone, fine sand, and limestone powder.

To prevent horse hooves from slipping or being scratched by sharp objects, an additional layer of water-based epoxy resin was sprayed on the surface of the gravel layer, and even the hard part of the curb was wrapped with rounded rubber strips.

The semi-flexible hard shell formed by epoxy resin bonding the gravel layer can effectively absorb the impact of horse hooves hitting the ground, and its water permeability is not inferior to that of special permeable asphalt pavement.

Although the road paving cost of nearly one million yen per kilometer is definitely too luxurious for most ranches.

However, what Kitano studied at university was the relationship between the probability of hoof diseases in livestock and their living environment.

During my first two years as a veterinarian, I came across a lot of information about the potential harm that abnormal living surfaces can cause to livestock.

For him, this is a completely necessary investment.

Of course, the price is not cheap either.

"Good morning."

Having said this, he took three or two steps into the stable.

"Good morning, President Kitano!"

Rachel Ho's spirited voice came from a stable.

After a while, Lavid also returned to the stable with Aru-chan, who had been grazing at night.

He played the morning news on his cell phone, adjusted the volume, and placed it on the table outside the stable.

Then he opened the trap door of the stable.

Mu Tianma was lying on the bedding, yawning contentedly.

Today is the last IRAP injection.

As if he realized that he had accidentally messed up the situation, the injured Medaima became unexpectedly obedient.

The white guy who usually makes a big fuss whenever he arrives at the pasture or the stable, is so well behaved during the time he is kept in the box that it seems as if he was swapped with other grey-haired horses.

He either eats or sleeps every day, and only moves occasionally in the stable.

However, thanks to this change, the acute phase, which was originally expected to last at least four weeks, was shortened to less than three weeks.

Next comes the recuperation phase called the subacute phase, or early recovery phase.
