Riding up the mountain on the ancient tea-horse road

During the summer vacation, several classmates took their parents to Lijiang. Lijiang has beautiful and pure scenery, which left a good impression on me. The most unforgettable thing for me is riding up the mountain on the ancient tea-horse road!

since the scenic spots are on the mountain and the mountain roads are very narrow, we must each ride a horse up the mountain. Everyone gets on the horse, holds the armrest of the saddle with both hands, and puts their feet into the stirrups hanging on both sides of the saddle. Everything is ready, let's go!

With the sound of hooves, a large number of people are going up the mountain! The horse driver taught us the trick of riding a horse: "lean forward when going uphill, and it is best to stick to the horse's back;" On the contrary, the body leans back and the feet are hard. " When going uphill and downhill, we all did it. It turned out that we could keep our balance.

along the mountain road, the horses struggled forward. There are pits on the mountain road of the ancient tea-horse road, which are all trodden out by horseshoes all the year round. I rode this horse very disobedient. All the other horses followed the old horseshoe prints one by one, but it didn't take the usual road and walked like no horse had ever stepped on it. Plus it doesn't look at the road, and it often slips under its feet, which almost shocked me several times! I have to be careful.

At first glance, it seems that these horses are not very tall, and they have to carry people along the mountain road, so I feel pity. In fact, don't worry, because the tour guide said that this is the purebred jade dragon colt with good endurance and suitable for mountain walking. On the contrary, the tall horse on the grassland is not suitable for taking narrow and steep mountain roads.

"snore, snore." What's that noise? You scared me! It turned out that the horse that followed me couldn't stand the compliment and snored. It must be exhausted.

eh? Why can't the team stop? Haha, it turns out that the first two horses have to pee! Not the kui is a horse urine, just scattered on the mountain road and splashed around. The Kyle I rode was naughty! It took advantage of this moment when its owner was not paying attention and leaned over to eat grass by the side of the road.

Time has slipped away among the changes of our moods, and in a short time, the mountain road is finished. At the end, I got off the horse reluctantly, wishing the road would be longer!
