The first horse racing network and hundreds of professional equestrian clubs across the country jointly created a series of reports - "The Legend of Ma Xing". Ichima Jun will go deep into clubs across the country to talk one-on-one with young riders, parents and clubs, and talk about the story of young riders, families and equestrianism.
In Guangzhou, there is such an equestrian club located in the main urban area of the city, so that members can experience the fun of riding at any time very conveniently, this club is ——。
At this club, there is a pair of brothers who are brought by their mothers to practice almost every day during the summer vacation, and their lively and lively figures and laughter break the tranquility of the club and make people feel full of vitality.
Although the 11-year-old Zhong Weiqi (ammonium) and the 8-and-a-half-year-old Zhong Weiqi (Qiqi) have been practicing equestrianism for less than a year, they are already "regulars" of the Chen Lan Equestrian Club, and they come to train as soon as they have time. In this issue of Ma Xing biography, let us get close to the "brother little riders" of Guangzhou Chen Lan Equestrian Club - ammonium and Qiqi.

First experience of riding a horse: the older brother did not dare to get on the younger brother was kicked and injured
When his brother Ammonium and his younger brother Qiqi sat in front of him, Ichima Jun saw two children with very different personalities: the older brother was more lively but polite, and the younger brother was a little shy but had to show up from time to time. This personality difference is also reflected in the first contact between the two brothers on horses – the more lively older brother was afraid to get on the horse at the equestrian club at the age of 5, and the shy-looking younger brother sat on his horse with the help of adults and rode around on his horse. "That's because my brother was very young at the time, and he didn't know to be afraid." The older brother rushed to answer, but the younger brother said that this was not the case: "[I] am afraid, but I am not afraid to ride up." ”
The brothers really started practicing equestrianism a year ago, and they came to the Chen Lan Equestrian Club less than a year ago, and both of them tried to train at the same time. Despite their different personalities, the brothers both love small animals, which is why they are willing to learn equestrianism. They were not very old, but the younger brothers never cried tired, never felt tired riding, and the younger brother was even injured by a horse, but none of this stopped them from learning equestrianism.
"When I first came to the fourth class of equestrianism, I was riding on a horse, and another horse kicked my leg with a side foot, and it really hurt, the bruises were red and swollen, and my father immediately took me to the hospital to prescribe medicine, and it took half a month of medicine to reduce the swelling." The younger brother smiled and said that he did not see any fear on his face about Marius.

Another time, the two brothers each rode a horse and began to practice, the older brother rode ahead, and the younger brother's horse suddenly ran up and had to run in parallel with the two horses, which startled everyone. However, compared with the nervousness of the first time on the horse, the two brothers had dared to let go of the horse by the fifth lesson, growing rapidly, and now the two brothers' state on the horse has obviously improved greatly, and they are more confident and more skilled.
At this year's Tokyo Olympics, the two brothers also watched the equestrian competition under the guidance of their parents, and both nodded excitedly about whether they wanted to become professional equestrian athletes in the future. "I didn't think much about it at first, but my brother rode better than me, and my mother said to go to the competition this year and see if I could go to the Olympics." The older brother, who had always been lively, suddenly became a little shy, while the younger brother next to him whispered, "(If) I win the Olympic championship, I will buy a house to raise many, many small animals." ”
Mom has a saying: riding a horse is more potential for physical fitness
"These two kids love nature so much." For why take children to choose to practice equestrianism, Ms. Zhang said, first of all, because children especially like nature and animals, every day said that they want to be "zoo director" in the future, and secondly, they hope that children can achieve the purpose of physical fitness through physical exercise. She feels that letting children come to the equestrian club to practice equestrianism can not only exercise the body, but also solve the needs of children who want to have contact with animals and nature.
"They are still learning other specialties, but they are staying indoors all day studying music, there are very few activities, they take them to swim, and their physical strength is a little difficult to keep up." Ms. Zhang said that although no relatives in the family are professional athletes, they are full of admiration for the identity of athletes. "In all professions, the most important thing we value is athletes, and of course, we hope that our children can reach the height of athletes."

Ms. Zhang said that there is actually a selfish heart, her body is somewhat weak and sickly, so she has admired athletes since she was a child, and she thinks that she may not be able to become an athlete, so she wants to take the children out to contact the equestrian skills to try, but she did not expect that after 1 hour of riding experience, the children can stick to the whole process, so it is logical to insist on practicing until now.
Will practicing equestrianism delay your child's schooling? Ms. Zhang said the issue was not conflicting in the first place. "Originally there was no conflict between reading and learning and training, they all used their spare time to practice, if there is a certain academic pressure after high school, I think the children themselves know how to choose, rather than letting the parents choose." She said that another advantage of practicing equestrianism is that even if the child is stressed in learning or life, the stress can be reduced and released by riding a horse, which is also a good thing for the child's physical and mental health.
Brother and brother, who learns better? Who has more potential? This somewhat "sharp" question has been answered in Ms. Zhang's mind. "The older brother is still more afraid in his heart, and he has been trying to overcome the fact that (the horse runs up) fast and high, but the younger brother is stronger and will be very determined that he is a little man." She said she still felt that her younger brother was more diligent in practicing equestrianism and would insist on doing what he wanted to do, while his brother would struggle a little in the face of difficulties.
"It's not just about equestrianism, it's his (brother's) personality that he has to do something well, but his brother will always be there to fight himself." The brothers have a particularly good relationship, is that true at home? Ms. Zhang smiled and said that the relationship between the two is good, but "when it is time to fight, it will also fight", and the younger brother's personality is relatively strong, but he will not just target his brother, but hope that he is stronger than anyone.
How to go in the future: No expectation is false Athletes have high social status
In Ms. Zhang's eyes, the social status of athletes is very high, and she feels that in the current public opinion environment, athletes will not be casually denigrated and attacked, especially those who have participated in major competitions such as the Olympic Games and the National Games, and their social status is very high. Will the two brothers develop in the direction of professional athletes in the future? She admitted that at the beginning, she did not think so much, and then after the children practiced and had a certain understanding of the equestrian industry, she began to hope that the children could become professional athletes and win glory for the country in the future, "But if I can't meet this expectation, I will not be disappointed." ”
If you set goals for two children, Ms. Zhang feels that her brother may be more resistant, but her younger brother may not be. "My brother may take him out to compete 1 or 2 times, but he himself has not met his expectations and will practice silently." This has been reflected in the brothers' learning piano, the younger brother because of his young age to learn the progress is slower, he will find time to practice silently, the requirements for themselves are very high, but the brother may feel that it does not matter. "The younger brother is the kind of braver personality that is more courageous than the Vietnam War." She said: "Brother I don't know how to say, he is too smart, he has been finding a way out for himself, if he is willing to break through the bottom line, it would be better." ”

For the ammonium and Qiqi brothers, Mr. Chen Renyu, the head of guangzhou Chen Lan Equestrian Club, is very optimistic, especially his younger brother Qiqi, Mr. Chen bluntly said that he has talent and hard work, and he will become a great instrument in the future. Ms. Zhang also said that she still knows nothing about equestrianism and is willing to give her two children to the club and coach, "It is also the coach of Chen Lan Equestrian Club who gave us some encouragement and support, they are very careful to teach children, let me have confidence!" I believe that as long as we start again and again, persevere to the end, the dream is just around the corner! ”
