Chapter 80 - 80 Startled Horse
80 Startled Horse
According to the rules, they had to run one lap from the beginning to the end of the track in the first round. The first person to cross the line would win, and the top ten would enter the second round of the exhibition race.
The first round was a warm-up match. Caroline only used about 70% to 80% of her strength so that she could maintain her position in the top ten and retain the strength of the dark horse.
She had just led the horse around, so she had a rough idea of the dark horse’s information and temperament. The black horse’s name was Blake, and it was 23 years old this year. It was considered an old horse, and had long passed its peak.
However, even if Caroline didn’t have any intention of stealing the limelight, there were still people who secretly disliked her and tried every possible way to see her fall from grace again.
The main point was right in front of them. Suddenly, the girl on race track No. 6, who had not had much of a presence all this while, raised her hand and whipped Caroline’s black horse.
The black horse raised its head and neighed in pain. Then, it raised its hooves and rushed forward.
This sudden turn of events attracted the attention of everyone present.
As there were many people and horses on the race track, many people didn’t see the girl on race track No. 6 whipping the horse. They only saw Caroline, who had been as steady as a mountain, suddenly lose control of her horse and gallop away crazily. Caroline, who was sitting on top of it, almost fell off her horse.
In such a chaotic situation, if Caroline fell off the horse and landed on the track, she would probably be trampled by the horses behind her. It would be a blessing if she could survive.
A huge bump came, and Caroline was thrown off the saddle. Her center of gravity shifted to the other side, and she was about to fall to the ground!
“Heavens!” Some of the more timid ones covered their eyes, unable to bear to see such a tragedy.
But the next second, exclamations rose from the stands! They removed their hands that were blocking their vision and saw Caroline’s black horse running in front.
Caroline, whom they thought would be thrown off the horse, had one foot tightly gripping the stirrup while the other was hanging upside down on the saddle. Her hands were also holding the reins and the saddle. From the side, she looked like Spiderman with both hands and feet on the horse.
She maintained this amazing posture and rushed straight to the line. When the black horse tried to break through the iron net at the edge of the track, she stomped her feet hard and her body was thrown up with the horse’s bump. Then she sat on the horse safely and pulled the reins. The horse’s head was raised high in an instant!
The black horse neighed, and Caroline pulled the reins to the right again, causing the black horse to change its direction. At this time, the staff of the racecourse noticed the abnormality and quickly came up to check the situation, trying to stop the black horse.
However, the black horse was in a berserk state, and one or two people could not stop it. Caroline looked back and saw the bloodstains on the horse’s butt. Her eyes narrowed!
No wonder the black horse had become so violent. The horsewhip of the man just now must have been specially made, with an iron hook inside that could hurt the horse.
However, it was not the time to worry about this. She had to make the dark horse relax as soon as possible. Caroline loosened the horse’s reins and lay on the horse’s back. She hugged the horse’s neck with both hands and moved up and down with the horse.
The crowd saw her hand do something to the black horse, and the black horse actually slowed down and finally stopped in the middle of the track.
Caroline jumped down from the horse. Seeing the tears of grievance in the black horse’s big eyes, she hugged the black horse’s neck with heartache and gently stroked its cheek.
This unforeseen event happened in less than half a minute. Even if many people saw the entire process with their own eyes, they could not immediately react to what had happened. They had to organize their thoughts in their minds to be able to smooth out the process.
“That’s right, Caroline, this unlucky woman, was shocked again!”
“But fortunately, she didn’t get knocked off the horse this time!”
“That’s right, not only did Caroline not get knocked off the horse, but she also knew how to ride sideways. Furthermore, she did it while the horse was startled!”
“In the end, Caroline actually subdued the horse with her own strength!”
“Oh my god, is this the Caroline from the rumors who has a phobia of riding horses and does not even dare to climb on them?”
