I first met Qu Runqi at the preparatory venue for the Beijing Municipal Obstacle Course. Watching her skillful movements on horseback, doing preparatory activities in circle after lap, keeping the horse in a certain competitive state, it is very comfortable to watch. When she finished the race and got off the horse, this 12-year-old girl, who was 1 meter 68 tall, gave us a big smile and set a date for the interview very painfully.
Coincidentally, the day we made the appointment was three days after her 12th birthday. The topic naturally led to a birthday gift - "Jianger" from his father, a German Hanover horse. Just imported from abroad, the end of the quarantine back to the site of the high-headed Malaysia. This kind of horse blue is very rare, and the 6-year-old "Jianger" is very naughty and particularly active. He was very well trained abroad and was automatically awarded when running, that is, he took the initiative to enter the working state. The color of this horse is 7 green and 8 white, which gradually transitions from cyan to white, that is, at the age of 7, most of the body color is cyan, and gradually waits until the age of 8 to become all-over white, which is very exciting. When introducing the horse, Qiqi was very happy to tell me that this was the best gift she had ever received: "Jianger, this name was also given to it by my father." Originated from an ancient legendary hero in Xinjiang. ”
I didn't expect to talk about Jiang Ge, a big hero, and he really knew a lot. Don't look at her as a girl, very interested in this story of traditional folk war heroes. She told me that "Jianger" has become an epic form of artistic expression, or one of the three major epics of China's ethnic minorities. What she was most interested in was that the heroes showed their heroic and resourceful character through overcoming various difficulties, defeating demons and defending their hometown, and this national spirit of loving their hometown and loving peace deeply infected and influenced them. I wonder how Qiqi, who has been growing up in Beijing, know so much about Xinjiang and Mongolian folklore. It turned out that his father was born in Xinjiang and often told him these stories. Since she was a child, she has heard about it, and naturally prefers armed rather than red makeup, which is really different from her beautiful mother. After I returned, I searched the information and found that "Jianger" had been rated as a national intangible cultural heritage. This inheritance is particularly important.
Among the many birthday gifts, there is also a very special gift, which is a gift from my sister who is studying in New Zealand, not far away! The sister and other sisterly feelings are really clear at a glance. He remembered that when he first started learning equestrianism, it was because of his sister's guidance. At that time, she and her mother went to New Zealand to study with her sister, and when she was young, she followed her sister to the horse farm to ride a horse, and since then she has fallen in love with equestrianism, and has also achieved her own personality independence, boldness is also relatively large, like adventure and try new things. During that year, he not only discovered his absolute love of equestrianism, but also laid a good foundation for his English. In September 2021, in the English speech contest held by "Hope China", it won the second prize of the country and the gold medal of Beijing Municipality!
Among his many hobbies, only equestrianism, as long as he mentions going to the horse farm, he never refuses. Once, he got a little cold and took leave of absence from home without going to school. However, she also asked to come to the horse farm, came to a good run, and happily told her mother after getting off the horse that it seemed that the cold was better! Obviously, riding a horse is much more effective than cold medicine! More importantly, her love and obsession with horses made her family absolutely fully support her. It was at this time that "Sandor" came to her side. What people did not expect was that it was Sandel who opened a new chapter in the equestrian competition for him, and made a great contribution!
At that time, he was not sure if he would be able to participate. The main problem is the inability to accurately find the starting point, calculate the jumping distance and calculate the number of steps of the horse. "Sandel" seems to be able to read his mind, with his own experience and ability not only increased his confidence, but also led her over the obstacles, accurate jump! In all the competitions this year, they have beautifully completed the 80 cm and 90 cm track obstacle courses. In the Champions Cup Tour held in September this year, the 80 cm two-stage race, the second stage rushed very fast, and the last small slalom was perfect! It ranked 6th out of 57 players. This time the rankings are not divided into junior and open groups, and some of the top ones are coaches. If you count the results according to the youth group, it should be the first place!
Through "Sandel" and his excellent performance, it is really extraordinary for parents to once again deeply realize the importance of the horse's ability. At this time, the more capable "Jianger" came to his side. Its goal of crossing obstacles has also been raised to 1 meter. What is even more gratifying is that he and "Jianger" cooperate very well and have very good feelings.
On the day of the winter this year, in the face of the first snow of Beijing's winter, Qiqi and his mother insisted on coming to the horse farm. After riding for an afternoon, Qiqi insisted on going to the stables to put on the new winter coat for "Jianger". My mother filmed a moving scene in the stables, where people and horses silently looked at each other and revealed their true feelings.
At the end of the interview, in the stables, watching Qiqi's warm interactions with "Sandel" and "Janger", I asked her to think about what she was going to say to them at this moment. He looked at Sandel affectionately, patted his neck with his hand and said, "Thank you, Sandor, you made me more confident!" Have the courage to compete and challenge yourself! After that, she paced to the stable of "Jianger", touched its face with her hand, looked at her beloved partner emotionally, and blurted out: "Next year, let us both create miracles together!" ”
Miracles, yes, in ancient folklore, Mongolian heroes led armies with their wisdom to defend their homeland and made history. Now, taking advantage of the allusion to take advantage of the trend and "Jianger", this pair of people and horses is about to debut and become a big family of our Central United Knights League, a big stage! Looking forward to 2022!
Come on, the other! Come on, "Jianger"!
