Chapter 136

This bellows is several times larger than the blowers used for cats and dogs; horses can stand right inside it.

Shi Wen spent nearly 100,000 yuan on custom-made products. Fortunately, their profits are still good now, otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford even these simple products.

Technology changes lives; with the bellows, bathing the little ones has become much easier.

Shi Wen even built a special shower room for the little guys in the family. The shower button is right under the wall, so Cong Zai and the dogs can easily press the button.

However, Shi Wen set a rule for them, allowing them to be bathed only once a week at most.

Therefore, a bathing schedule was arranged for the little ones.

The snow leopard cubs and fox cubs shouldn't be washed; they need to be returned to the wild, and their lives should be kept separate from those of domesticated animals.

With a complete set of supporting facilities in place, the little ones are more enthusiastic about their work and are more willing to maintain personal hygiene.

If it weren't for the fact that they shed a lot of fur every molting season, Shi Wen would almost have given in and allowed them to come inside.

Unfortunately, they shed so much that Shi Wen find their fur in my food, even when they don't want to eat, so I have to harden my heart and refuse to let them into the house.

I learned this lesson when I was raising Hu Zai.

They allowed the two Hu Zai into the house at the time, but later discovered that the Hu Zai also shed fur.

The fur would usually be stirred up by their movements and float everywhere, even onto the food dishes. Eventually, they gave up and stopped allowing the animals into the house, at most allowing Cong Zai to occasionally wander in.

After settling the little ones at home, Shi Wen chose a sunny day and invited Baoye A Sai and the others to come over and shoe the two horses.

They don't usually ride horses, especially Yan Shi they are young and don't have to do any work.

The same goes for the Malaysian Shi Suo; Shi Wen he only considers riding it when he needs to travel long distances and it's inconvenient to drive or ride a motorcycle.

Because his horses hardly ever work, both horses are in excellent condition, and their horseshoes show very little wear.

Perhaps because the pastures are covered in soft grass that doesn't wear down the iron, they replace their horseshoes much less frequently than other families.

It's been almost three months since the last horseshoe replacement.

We couldn't delay any longer, Shi Wen finally asked someone to come over.

Baoye A Sai was happy to come and help, and arrived early in the morning with his people.

Shi Wen brought out the two horses, Baoye A Sai took one look and asked, "What kind of magic pills did you give the two horses? How come they are in such good condition?"

Shi Wen looked at Shi Suo and Yan Shi, and said uncertainly, "Are they in good condition? Aren't they the same as before?"

Baoye A Sai: "Of course they're different. Look at their eyes, look at their muscles, and look at their temperaments—"

Baoye A Sai circled the horses. "From any angle, they are so different from before. Their spirit and energy are completely different. You can tell at a glance that they are two rare and excellent horses."

Shi Wen, "Wasn't it a rare and excellent horse before?"

Baoye A Sai: "It used to be very rare, but on my ranch or in the world's top horse farms, you could still find a few horses that could rival them. Now you can't find them anymore."

Baoye A Sai circled around and couldn't help but emphasize, "In my opinion, you won't find horses in better condition anywhere in the world."

Shi Wen the stars practically sparkling in his eyes, Shi Wen laughed and said, "Is it really that exaggerated? While they are indeed very good, you're making it sound like they're not even the same species as other horses."

Baoye A Sai: "To someone like me who loves horses, they might really not be the same breed as ordinary horses."

Shi Wen his hand repeatedly. "It's not that bad. They haven't been on the ranch for long, and they haven't had any babies yet, so their genes definitely haven't changed."

Baoye A Sai said very seriously, "I feel it's different now. How about we make a bet?"

Chapter 136

Shi Wen asked Baoye A Sai, "What kind of bet do you want to make?"

Baoye A Sai said, "I bet Shi Suo and Yan Shi are much smarter than ordinary horses."

Well--

Shi Wen looked at Shi Suo and Yan Shi.

The Abnormal Affairs Bureau had previously arranged for a team of experts to come and test the IQs of their children, and the children's "average IQ" reached that of a ten-year-old.

Although this "average intelligence" includes a portion that measures things like reading people's expressions and demeanor, and animals are generally better at these things than humans, the little guys are indeed much smarter than most small animals.

Shi Wen knew he would win without even needing to gamble with Baoye A Sai.

Shi Wen, "I won't bet with you; they are indeed quite intelligent."

Baoye A Sai: "Right? If they were racehorses, what other horses would need ten days or half a month to learn, they could probably learn in a day."

Shi Wen looked at Shi Suo, "I don't think it's that amazing."

Baoye A Sai: "I think so. If you don't believe me, just look at their learning abilities."

Shi Suo was originally bred as a racehorse, but it broke its leg before it could even participate in a few serious races, and was then sent to Shi Wen's ranch.

It didn't actually receive much professional training or systematic learning.

Baoye A Sai said he would assess Shi Suo's learning ability, Shi Wen had no objections.

Shi Wen asked, "Okay. What should we teach them—obstacle courses? Hurdles? Or something else? They've been exposed to related content before when they went out with us."

Baoye A Sai: "The obstacles are too easy. With its physical and mental abilities, it shouldn't need much training. Let's learn dressage; that best demonstrates a horse's learning ability."

Shi Wen, "Learn the whole thing?"

Baoye A Sai: "Okay, let's learn the basic dance steps and see how far it can go in one day?"
