"Yes!" Shi Wen dismounted and handed the reins to Yan Kexing. "You give it a try."

Yan Kexing went to work today as usual, dressed in casual clothes.

Nevertheless, when he sat on horseback, his back straight, his exceptionally good physique instantly transformed his casual clothes into the effect of formal attire.

He gave the reins a gentle tug, urging the Shi Suo to run.

In that instant, Shi Wen instantly felt the connection between the horse and the rider, the perfect rhythm of their coordination, and a kind of wondrous cadence.

Yan Kexing's riding skills had always been excellent, but Shi Wen was surprised to learn for the first time that his riding skills were actually this good.

His horsemanship was so good that it was as if he himself was a horse, dancing gracefully in the evening breeze, rather than riding a horse.

Shi Wen worked with horses for so long, this was the first time I truly felt a sense of oneness between man and horse.

So cool!

Shi Wen's eyes shone with fervor and focus, and his face was filled with excitement.

Yan Kexing Shi Suo once, then controlled the horse to run back and stand in front of Shi Wen.

Just as he was about to say something, Shi Wen, unable to contain his emotions, opened his arms.

So, Yan Kexing leaned forward on his horse and kissed Shi Wen.

After the kiss, Shi Wen grabbed Yan Kexing's hand and looked at him. "For so long, I didn't know you could do this."

Yan Kexing: "I learned some before, but it's been a long time since I've properly taught a horse to dance, so I'm a bit rusty."

Shi Wen's eyes flickered, a smile playing on his lips, "No, not at all rusty, it's already fantastic."

Yan Kexing reached out and pulled Shi Wen, "Come ride with me for a while."

The Shi Suo is stronger than an ordinary horse, and even with two people riding on its back, it can still perform various dance moves.

Shi Wen himself is not very coordinated with his hands and feet, so he finds it particularly difficult to control the Shi Suo to perform various dance steps during the day.

Now, under Yan Kexing's guidance, he quickly grasped the wonderful rhythm and became exceptionally adept at riding.

Yan Kexing riding a horse left a very deep impression on Shi Wen, so much so that even several days later, he was still immersed in practicing the dance moves while riding a horse.

When Baoye A Sai came to see him again, Shi Suo, Shi Wen already quite impressive.

Looking at them like this, Baoye A Sai couldn't even feel jealous. "You two are so good at learning dance steps Shi Suo is also very talented."

Shi Wen, "The main reason is that I practiced for a long time. Yan Kexing taught me a bit, and I knew how to get started."

Baoye A Sai nodded in agreement. "Professor Yan's riding skills are indeed much better than the average person's."

Shi Wen, "Really? He rides horses with exceptional elegance, and his core strength is also strong. When he controls the horse, it always feels like the horse is an extension of his own body."

Baoye A Sai: "Yes, when I first met Professor Yan, it was because he was an exceptionally good horse rider. I followed him around hoping to get to know him, and we gradually became acquainted."

The two of them took turns praising Yan Kexing earnestly.

Yan Kexing wasn't there, they probably wouldn't feel awkward. As they praised each other, they felt even more that they were good brothers.

As they talked, Baoye A Sai brought up the topic, "Brother Shi, your horses are so good, could I send them here for training? You can pay for the training."

Shi Wen never expected the conversation to take this turn, and his mouth dropped open in surprise. "Huh?"

"Shi Suo used to be a rare and excellent horse, but it never seemed to develop as well as it does now when it was in our hands," Baoye A Sai said emotionally, stroking the horse's neck. "I feel that whether you're training horses or other animals, you always manage to infuse them with a special kind of power."

This topic inevitably leads to the issue of confidentiality rules.

Shi Wen through the horse's belly, said, "It could be your imagination. We just have a lot of small animals here. When they mix together, they develop a unique kind of spirituality."

Baoye A Sai: "That's possible. If it's possible, I'd still like to give it a try."

Baoye A Sai explained, "Our ranch currently raises a herd of Pegasus horses as our main breeding stock. We've been breeding them for several years now, but our foundation is indeed a bit weak. Despite breeding for so long, we still haven't found the right method."

Tianma is their local horse breed, primarily based on Kazakh horses as the female line, and improved by crossbreeding with other horse breeds.

Among them, the Akhal-Teke horse can be considered one of the ancestors of the Heavenly Horse, which is why Baoye A Sai went to great lengths to acquire several Akhal-Teke horses, two of which were Shi Suo and Yan Shi.

According to Baoye A Sai's popular science article, Shi Wen learned that the horses used in international competitions are mostly foreign horses, such as Thoroughbreds, quarter Thoroughbreds, Manipur horses, and Argentine football horses, which are the common horses used in international competitions.

Equestrian events in China started late, and the horses bred in China have no particular advantage and have hardly made a name for themselves internationally.

As a horse lover, Baoye A Sai felt deeply saddened by this, and one of his lifelong goals was to introduce his country's horses to the top international equestrian competitions.

Unfortunately, after so many years, he is still some distance from his goal.

Some things truly require talent, not just hard work.

He has a talent for making money, but his talent for breeding horses is only so-so, and the team he leads hasn't achieved much.

Shi Wen into his slightly bewildered eyes, Shi Wen felt a rare pang of sympathy.

After careful consideration, Shi Wen said, "That works too. Don't worry about the training fees, just sell me two Pegasus horses, and I'll try to breed them."

Their ranch had always planned to raise horses, but it hadn't been put on the agenda until now. Taking this opportunity to start raising horses would be a good idea.

Baoye A Sai was overjoyed. "Then it's a deal! If you're willing to start breeding our country's racehorses, I'll sell you all of my celestial horses. I can't, but you definitely can.
