Hokkaido Horse Racing Story

The ears also twisted to the front position.
After confirming that Ogawa Katsu had left, he slowly moved towards the food bowl.
Then, he buried his head in the food bowl with peace of mind.
Next to the surveillance camera, Kana Ogawa's eyes curved into crescent shapes.
She captured the video and downloaded it to her phone.
While uploading it to the official account of the ranch, a copy was also sent to Kitano on LINE.
After a while, I received a reply from Kitano with an emoticon of a Q-version horse with a thumbs-up.
"Tsk, not doing your job."
Taking out his cell phone, Xu Hesheng curled his lips in disdain.
However, he still used his private account to forward the video that Kanna Ogawa had just posted.
I gave it a thumbs up by the way.
Then, the young man opened the gate in front of him.
The sturdy deer-hair mare lay motionless in the stable, in a daze.
Even if someone broke into the stable, there was no intention of moving.
Ogawa Masaru first squatted down to check the condition of Mejiro Sakuya's legs.
Nothing seems out of the ordinary.
Temperature on palpation was normal.
The newly installed floor heating system also seems to be working well.
The feed bucket was lifted only after the inspection was completed.
"Eat your flax seeds well, Sakuya."
As he spoke, he poured the pre-mixed feed into the food bowl.
As he lowered his head to clean the litter, Mejiro Sakuya seemed to have just reacted and slowly walked towards the food bowl.
Then, he began to eat at the same slow pace.
He often stares blankly, and doesn't like to move much whether he is grazing or in the stable.
Although more attention needs to be paid during normal training, the training itself is neither the type that requires too much worry nor the type that makes people feel overwhelmed.
Outside the racetrack, Mejiro Sakuya is just such an ordinary looking horse except for his gentle personality.
If there is anything special about it, it is probably that its attention is easily distracted by food, or carrots.
Every time carrots are added to the feed, it seems that the eating speed will increase slightly.
Although he needs careful care due to his limp leg, Ogawa Masaru feels a brief sense of relaxation when spending time with Mejiro Sakuya.
The scene of him standing in the stable doing nothing and watching Mejiro Sakuya eat continued for a long time.
Then, he let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Chapter 46 Summer Afternoon
In August, it was a hot afternoon on the day of the Beginning of Heat.
Kitano skillfully parked the car in the open space in front of the ranch.
Before getting off the bus, he picked up the baseball cap and put it on his head.
As soon as I opened the car door, the heat and humidity of the summer afternoon immediately wrapped my body in an invisible, heavy film.
In such an environment, even the most sophisticated machines would slack off.
However, you still have to cheer up.
As he was thinking this, Ogawa Sheng from the ranch came over.
"Good afternoon, Kitano-san!"
After saying hello, the boy looked at the prancing horse logo on Kitano's cap with some surprise.
"So Brother Beiye is also from Tiefu Temple?"
He became a little excited.
It seems that the two have a common hobby.
"That's it."
Raising his hand to adjust the position of his baseball cap, Kitano spoke vaguely.
This year, the horse owner's career can be considered smooth sailing.
However, as a car fan, my fortune was not so smooth.
A large part of Kitano's good temper and ability to remain calm can be attributed to his identity as a Tiefu Temple official.
Occasionally, he would reflect on whether he had done something unforgivable in his previous life, which led to his reincarnation as a Ferrari fan.
"At least Xia Lulu-san is only two points away from returning to fourth place in the driver's standings."
Ogawa Katsu patted his shoulder with an expression that showed some empathy.
Xia Lulu is the number one driver of the Ferrari team.
After hearing what Ogawa Masaru said, Kitano's expression became even sadder.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this."
Waving his hand, Kitano walked towards the rear compartment.
"Let me do it, Kitano-san."
Xu Hesheng took the lead and lifted the heaviest TENS electrotherapy device.
"no problem?"
Kitano asked.
He uses a specific model designed for large livestock, unlike the smaller home models.
Naturally, it is also much heavier than the home type.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
The boy gave a confident smile that said "that's totally fine".
"Then it's up to you."
Nodding, Kitano picked up the remaining tools.
With his free hand, he picked up the cardboard box containing hay.
It looks a little bit strenuous.
He placed the tools on the cardboard box and picked it up with both hands.
Now it becomes much easier.
The two walked towards the stable one after the other.
Today, Mejiro Sakuya still needs to receive treatment from electrical stimulation therapy.
Although the treatment has lasted for three weeks since it started, there has been some improvement in gait.
However, out of caution, Kitano did not immediately reduce the frequency of treatment.
Of course, relying solely on TENS is far from enough.
Other treatments, such as heat, hydrotherapy, and distraction exercises, also play a role.
When we arrived at the stable, Ogawa Kanna was already waiting in the bathing room with the deer-haired horse.
While Kitano was assessing the affected limb, Ogawa Masaru was comforting Mejiro Sakuya.
In fact, even when he first received treatment, he seemed very calm.
At one point, Kitano even wondered if he had forgotten to turn on the power.
Using alcohol cotton to wipe Mejiro Sakuya's skin, the cleaning and skin preparation process was quickly completed.
The deer-haired horse has a calm expression, with its lips slightly open and relaxed.
After this, the placement of the electrodes began.
The points of nerve abnormality are already familiar, so there is no need to relocate them.
The sciatic nerve path along the buttocks and to the back of the hind limb was soon covered with electrodes.
Then comes the lateral aspect of the hind limb, the area of the gastrocnemius muscle.
One is at the starting point of the spastic muscle, and the other is at the end point. The electrodes are attached symmetrically, and some medical conductive paste is applied from time to time.
During the entire process, Mejiro Sakuya remained standing quietly.
Before the competition officially began, Ogawa Katsu placed the deer-haired horse's head on his shoulder and stroked it repeatedly.
Mejiro Sakuya's eyelids were slightly closed, and her furry ears hung down to her sides in a relaxed manner.
"No problem."
With his back to Kitano, Ogawa Katsu made an "OK" gesture with his other hand.
After confirming that everything was ready, Kitano turned on the instrument.
First, there is the 5mA intensity.
The muscles of the deer-hair horse began to twitch slightly, but there was no excessive reaction.
Start by slowly increasing the current.
Mejiro Sakuya finally let out a frightened hum.
"Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon--"
Ogawa Katsu blocked Luma's eyes as he tried to look behind his body with his palm.
Kana Ogawa then handed over the carrot pieces.
With the cooperation of the two, Mejiro Sakuya's attention was quickly distracted.
The treatment went on very smoothly.
While recording the parameters, Kitano paid close attention to Mejiro Sakuya's reaction.
If the horse kicks or flicks its tail during electrical stimulation, it is likely that the current is too high, causing burns or discomfort.
In this case, it is necessary to adjust the current in time according to the horse's reaction.
However, until the end of the fifteen-minute treatment, Mejiro Sakuya did not make any similar movements.
I can't tell if it's because I'm too slow.
Of course, it is also possible that his attention was distracted by Ogawa Kanna's carrot offensive.
Kitano has always had such concerns.
Slowly reduce the current to zero before switching the instrument off.
After removing the electrodes, aloe vera gel was applied to the corresponding areas.
Although there was no sign of redness or swelling during the previous treatments, I still did this to reduce skin irritation.
At this time, Mejiro Sakuya finally swallowed the carrot piece that she had chewed thoroughly in her mouth.
After loosening the buckle of the traction rope, the deer-hair horse walked slowly towards the pool.
While it lowered its head to drink water, Ogawa Sheng picked up a rag to wipe the sweat off its body.
Outside the stable, the intermittent chirping of cicadas could be heard.
Before we knew it, summer was coming to an end.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kitano."
Taking her eyes away from the man and the horse, Ogawa Kana said.
