Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 329 - 326: Racehorse Intensive Training, Invitation from the Equestrian Club

The workload keeps increasing.

Wife is pregnant, Qingfeng Ranch has just opened, and the livestock on the ranch need to be taken care of—horses, cattle, sheep.

Jiang Feng has to coordinate everything every day.

This is how it is at the start of a business, quite busy, but once it’s successful, life will be more relaxed.

But Jiang Feng is also living comfortably.

His wife is very understanding, and Zhang Kaitian is keeping an eye on Qingfeng Ranch.

Jiang Feng’s next focus is on preparing for the Nadamu Festival competition.

For this, Jiang Feng not only has to train more himself, but also train Red Hare more.

On the grassland, the livestream begins.

Jiang Feng rides Red Hare, galloping across the prairie.

The sound of the hoofbeats echoing.

Red Hare’s tail and mane dance with the wind, like a blazing flame.

Jiang Feng leans slightly forward.

From the livestream angle, Jiang Feng seems almost glued to Red Hare’s back.

No matter how Red Hare runs, his body shows no movement at all.

The drone can only capture from a distance, completely unable to keep up with Red Hare’s speed.

[Master Jiang is so handsome!]

[This is what a man of the prairie should be!]

[Master Jiang is the only man I truly admire!]

The bullet screen scrolls crazily.

At this moment, Jiang Feng gently trotted back on Red Hare.

He appeared in the livestream frame.

"This year’s Nadamu Festival is about to start again. For me, participating in the Ximeng League’s Nadamu Festival is very important."

"Right now, I train every day, about a month of training should be effective."

Jiang Feng spoke to everyone.

[Master Jiang, come on, you’re the best!]

[Go for it!]

[We believe in you!]

[Champion!]

Fans cheer and shout.

Jiang Feng laughed and said:

"Horse racing is actually not very different; a lot of the time it comes down to who weighs less."

"I remember seeing a popular horse racing video a few days ago where a rider fell off at the start of the race, and the horse ran by itself and won the championship."

"So, for a 5,000-meter race, training in stamina and endurance is key."

"To unleash Red Hare’s fighting spirit, the final sprint is necessary for winning."

The Red Hare under Jiang Feng has a very good bloodline.

Netizens seeing the handsome appearance of Red Hare were particularly envious.

[I really want to take a set of photos on Red Hare!]

[I want to experience horse shaking with Master Jiang!]

[Red Hare is absolutely unbeatable!]

[This year’s Nadamu in Ximeng is lively because Master Jiang is all the rage.]

[I’ve also come across several sets of videos.]

Jiang Feng, riding the horse, took a slight break.

There’s still a month to go, Jiang Feng needs to adjust Red Hare’s condition to the best.

He also needs to adjust his own condition to the best.

"Tomorrow I’ll go to a professional horse track, not to find a horse trainer, but to find a place."

"Running on the track in advance, especially running with other horses, can help find the feeling of horse racing."

"Otherwise, going directly into the competition might be quite uncomfortable."

Jiang Feng said to everyone.

Then, he rode Red Hare back to rest.

The next day, Jiang Feng arrived at a professional equestrian club.

After all, this is the administrative center of Ximeng League, there are plenty of luxurious equestrian clubs.

Jiang Feng went to find the club manager Fang Qing, who warmly welcomed him.

"Rest assured, we happen to have a few jockeys in our club who are your fans and want to race with you."

Fang Qing said with a smile.

"Last year’s Nadamu Festival horse racing group champion—on the grassland, which jockey wouldn’t want to race a lap with you?"

Hearing Fang Qing’s words, Jiang Feng knew it was just being polite, so he replied:

"Don’t say that, I haven’t trained for a while either."

"Taking advantage of the remaining time, I came here to train more and get into the feeling."

They chatted for a while, then Fang Qing arranged for the jockeys to join Jiang Feng at the start line on the track.

The livestream started early.

The equestrian training field also wanted to gain some traffic from Jiang Feng.

The competition venue was excellent, with grandstands around, clearly a professional horse racing venue.

Netizens love watching competitive events, eagerly waiting.

[It’s starting!]

[Just a practice!]

[Master Jiang, go for it!]

At this moment, the few jockeys were also nervous.

After all, tens of thousands of people were watching in Jiang Feng’s livestream.

And they also wanted to use this opportunity to gain some fame.

If they could beat Jiang Feng, that would be even better.

Fang Qing was also watching.

Not long after, accompanied by the drop of the flag, the horses galloped out together.

Jiang Feng’s Red Hare took the lead immediately, bursting out from the group of horses as soon as it started.

It was thought to be a you-chase-I-chase race.

But in reality, it turned into a one-sided crush.

After Jiang Feng’s Red Hare sprinted ahead, it directly opened a gap from the second place.

Moreover, as the running speed increased, the distance between Red Hare and the second place became greater.

In the equestrian training field, many people were witnessing this friendly match.

Many people even took out their phones to record.

No one expected to see such a scene in the end.

The speed of the Red Hare was simply too fast.

Someone had estimated before that the value of this horse was at least in the millions, making it an unparalleled premium racehorse.

From its physique, muscles, to explosiveness, it was all considered perfect.

On the sidelines, even Fang Qing was left dumbfounded.

On a nearby computer, the horse’s data could be displayed in real-time.

"What’s the speed now?" Fang Qing couldn’t help but ask.

"65," replied a technician.

"65?" Fang Qing exclaimed, "It’s broken the record!"

"The fastest speed record in our training field is only 58!"

Jiang Feng’s speed maintained at 65 kilometers per hour.

Even for a five-kilometer horse race, the duration is actually quite short, it finishes in about five minutes and some seconds.

Once the horse’s speed stops, it’s hard to get it up again.

So, it has to be done in one go.

There used to be ten-kilometer horse races, which were really quite brutal; finally, only a few imported horses managed to come back, the others were too exhausted to return.

Red Hare was still wildly running in circles.

Near the finish line, Jiang Feng was already seeing the back of the rider ahead.

He almost lapped them once.

This is quite rare in a racecourse.

It can only be said that Red Hare’s strength is indeed formidable.

After reaching the finish line, Jiang Feng controlled Red Hare to slow down.

Then, he rode Red Hare for a short trot before gradually stopping, leading Red Hare to walk on the outer side of the track.

Red Hare’s neck and body were covered in sweat.

Under the sunlight, the sweat made its red coat appear even more vibrant.

It was full of a primal wildness.

After resting for a while, several other amateur racehorse riders finally crossed the finish line.

At this moment, Fang Qing, the racecourse manager, also eagerly ran over.

"Master Jiang, you’ve broken the record, both your top speed and completion time have broken our racecourse’s records."

"No wonder you’re the champion of the Nadamu Festival."

Fang Qing congratulated first.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Red Hare was in good form."

At this time, Fang Qing signaled Jiang Feng to turn off the live broadcast microphone, as the following words were not meant for the online audience to hear.

After Jiang Feng turned off the microphone, Fang Qing said:

"Master Jiang, I have a personal matter, I want to invite you to become a platinum member of our racecourse. For others to become members, the fee is 40,000 a year."

"That’s just the membership fee; if we were to take care of the horses, the price would be even higher."

"But don’t worry, for you, it’s free of charge, I’m in charge of that."

"When we have horse racing events or equestrian performances, we will invite you to participate."

"And you can be assured, our confidentiality is very good, we absolutely will not use your name for anything. To be honest, among the platinum members of our racecourse, there are quite a few big stars and singers."

"After all, we are one of the best racecourses in the Ximeng League."

Fang Qing was very eager for Jiang Feng to join.

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Feng asked:

"Let me become a member for free, you must want something, don’t need my popularity, you’re making me uneasy by saying this."

Hearing this, Fang Qing quickly said:

"Just occasionally, if there are horse races, we hope you can participate or give a demonstration."

"To be honest, no matter what internet celebrity or big star, our racecourse doesn’t care, it’s unrelated to us."

"But top jockeys or premium racehorses, for our racecourse, those are the most welcomed and respected."

"You are the horse racing champion of the Ximeng League, and today you broke the record at our racecourse, no matter what, I want to invite you to join my racecourse."

Fang Qing made a convincing argument.

For such a luxurious racecourse, what celebrities or internet influencers it has as members actually doesn’t matter much.

After all, the racecourse’s reputation is already established, and the clientele is relatively stable.

But horse racing participants are the foundation of a racecourse.

It’s like whether a theater has star performers. Without star performers, it’s just a makeshift troupe.

Therefore, Fang Qing wanted to invite Jiang Feng to join.

Jiang Feng only needs to show up once, and it would be hugely beneficial for the racecourse.

"Sure, when there’s a competition, coming to see the excitement is no harm."

"But I also have my own racecourse, might not come often."

Jiang Feng readily agreed.

Then, Fang Qing introduced Jiang Feng to the benefits of being a platinum member.

Such as a private lounge, independent equestrian training facilities, and more.

After all, it’s exclusive to the wealthy, with quite a few perks.

Jiang Feng didn’t expect that by just intending to let Red Hare get familiar with the racing feel, he’d end up becoming a platinum member of an equestrian club.

Sure enough, as long as one has the skill, one can thrive anywhere.
