Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Chapter 238: Getting on the Horse

Three days later.

The tribesmen have become proficient in leading the horses forward or backward at different speeds, turning left or right, jogging, etc.

The trust and familiarity between the horses and their tribesmen were already very high, and the horses were able to respond correctly to the commands given by the two-legged beasts at a very fast speed.

And today is the day when the tribe members officially try to get on the horse.

All the tribesmen gathered around the fence of the horse training ground to watch.

To be on the safe side, before daybreak, Hai brought a few old men to feed the horses with food containing powder of bitter orange and also burned the bitter orange pile.

In addition to this, other protections were also taken.

After all, this is nothing compared to walking on the ground with horses. These horses have never been ridden before, so how could they not react?

At that moment, he would raise half his body, kick the horse's hooves, and rock back and forth, trying to throw the bipedal beast off his back.

So, the tribesmen had driven the horses back to the stables yesterday to train them, and began to work on making 200 rectangular fences.

Drive the horse in and ride on its back. When the horse starts to shake and bump violently due to the stimulation, it cannot shake over a large range and with a large amplitude.

After all, they were blocked by a fence that was not much different from their size, so they couldn't make any large movements. All four hooves were blocked.

They could only bounce around in the fence, but had no way of making the tribesmen on horseback fall off their horses.

This is also a common type of video on how to deal with wild horses that Sang Tian has seen in modern horse training videos.

Although the ponies in our tribe are all foals, they've grown considerably after a few months of growth. Furthermore, these horses are already twice as large as modern horses. They're already almost as tall as the largest modern horses. Furthermore, these are pure wild horses from ancient times, so their temperaments are naturally more aggressive. This can be considered a counterbalance.

……

Soon, the tribesmen opened the fence gate and drove the horses in.

Then close the fence gate tightly.

Then he grabbed the fence, turned over and jumped, and sat on the saddle quickly and accurately.

The saddles and stirrups were all made by the tribesmen. Sang Tian drew the pattern, and the materials were not difficult for the tribesmen to make. It had been a week, and 200 pairs had been made.

Just at the moment when the tribesman turned over and sat on the saddle.

The horse suddenly lost its temper, raised its neck and neighed angrily, its nose suddenly enlarged, and it gasped.

Then, it tried to kick its hooves back and forth, but found that once its hooves were extended, they would be blocked by the fence surrounding it, causing its front and back hooves to hurt.

But it wouldn't give in. The horse bucked and bucked, its four hooves stomping the ground vigorously, trying to throw the biped off its back. From time to time, it would raise half its body, arch its front hooves, and neigh loudly, trying to get the biped off its back. Its mane danced in the wind, and its eyes revealed a wild and unruly look.

But the tribesmen relied on their own arm strength to hold the reins tightly, and also relied on the strength of their lower bodies to hold the horse's belly tightly, and never let themselves fall.

The tribesmen were sitting tightly on the strong horses, their bodies swaying with the horses' bouncing, holding the reins tightly in their hands, trying to tame the unruly steeds.

For the first time, they felt the horse's unruly nature. It turned out that it was really difficult to deal with when it got fierce.

But how could they possibly flinch? They clamped their legs tightly around the horses' bellies, leaning forward slightly to maintain their balance. Their eyes were firm and focused, engaging in a silent battle with the horses.

……

As time went on, an hour later, the horse's strength gradually wore off, its resistance gradually weakened, and its mood became increasingly calm. It seemed to have become accustomed to the feeling of having someone on its back.

The tribesmen sat on the horses' backs and stroked their heads to soothe the horses' emotions, and occasionally fed them food sprinkled with bitter orange powder.

Half an hour later, the horse had completely calmed down.

At this time, the tribesmen dismounted.

Ten minutes later, the tribesmen got back on their horses.

In the second half of the day, by constantly getting on and off the horse, the horse will gradually get used to the feeling of being ridden, thereby reducing its stress response, tension and temper.

The second time I got on the horse, it still started to shake violently, but it lasted less than an hour and then it calmed down completely.

The third time I got on the horse, the violent shaking lasted less than forty minutes, and my emotions completely calmed down.

The fourth time I got on the horse, the violent shaking lasted less than half an hour, and my emotions completely calmed down.

The fifth time I got on the horse, it was intense... for twenty minutes...

The sixth time I got on the horse, it was intense... for ten minutes...

The seventh time I got on the horse, it was intense... five minutes...

The eighth time I got on the horse, it was intense... three minutes...

The ninth time I got on the horse, it was intense... one minute...

The tenth time I got on the horse, the horse had completely accepted the fact that someone was riding on its back. There was no reaction at all.

Despite this, the tribesmen still mount their horses every once in a while, to make sure the horses have no resistance to the tribesmen riding on them.

After half a day, I'm afraid it's been hundreds of times.

Even so, Sang Tian extended this step for another day.

After all, this is the most challenging step. It would be better and safer to let the tribesmen and horses get familiar with each other for a day. The next day, we can open the door of the small fence and let the tribesmen ride them out to train them to walk and turn at different speeds.

With the experience of the first big step, pulling the reins and leading the horse, this step was much easier. However, the tribesmen were sitting on horseback, and if they were not careful, they could get injured. Sang Tian did not dare to be careless. He decided to set a two-day schedule.

On the third day, the tribesmen began formally training in running.
