Indlela Yokufunda "Amakhono Okulingana" Amakhono

Usuku lokuqala lokugibela e-ranch lusetshenziselwa i-rink enkulu ngaphansi kweso elindile likaTerry Wegener. U-Terry, onomnikazi we-Terry Wegener Training Centre eBennett, Colorado, uye wachitha iminyaka engu-30 + yamahhashi wokuqeqesha futhi ahlulela izenzakalo zokugibela. Ungumphathi wehhashi ongcono kunazo zonke engake ngaya nazo, futhi ngisho nangokwesehlakalo sami sokugibela ngifisa sengathi ngingasebenzisa izinyanga eziyisithupha ngaphansi kokufundisa kwakhe. Wonke umuntu ogibeleyo uzokuthuthuka ngaphambi kokuba ahambe ekhaya.

Ngokombono wami, usuku oluse-rink lunenjongo ezintathu. Owokuqala, nakuba engashiywanga engavunyelwe, ukuhlola ukufaneleka komgibeli ngamunye ngokuqoqa phakathi kokugibela okuhambayo kanye ne-roundup yezinkomo. Esesibili ukusebenzisa abagibeli ukuqeqesha amahhashi ngokuphindaphindiwe kwemiyalo kanye nokunyakaza okufanayo. Okwesithathu ukuthuthukisa ikhono lomgibeli futhi uqeqesha abagibeli ukugibela indlela amahhashi aqeqeshwa ngayo, ukuqinisekisa ukuvumelana, hhayi ukudideka noma ukuphazamisa izilwane. Ngafunda ukubaluleka kwalokhu ngokushesha lapho ngithembele phambili ukuthola i-8-Ibhola ibe yilophu olusheshayo. Wabambelela esikhundleni.

I-Terry ilula, ihlekisayo futhi iyazi ukuthi ingafundisa kanjani ngendlela ehambisana nabagibeli. Umtholampilo wawumnandi ngempela lapho sihlangana futhi sigijimela imidlalwana ye-relay. Sasizosebenza ngendlela ye-cones esakhiwe njengenkambo ye-slalom, yenza i-turn and half half around the barrel, ugibele endaweni ephakathi kwamakhilogremu amabili, ayeke, uphinde uphinde ubheke umgibeli olandelayo. Isenzo ngasinye sihamba ngokuqondile kwesidingo esisodwa esikudingayo, njengokungena ezungezeni izingodo, ukuhamba ngezihlahla nokusekela izinkomo.

Abagagasi Benza Ukuqeqeshwa Kwezinkomo Ukuzijabulisa

Izinkomo zingabhekwa njengezilwane eziyiziphukuphuku, kodwa zinezinto ezinhle zokuphila. Enye yalezo zinyama ukuhlala nomhlambi. Enye ukubuka lelo hhashi elikhulu, okungaba yisidalwa, futhi lesi sidalwa esithile ngemuva kwayo sakhala, "Hambisa inkomo" noma into efanayo, bese ubalekela.

Siyakwamukela ezifuywini 101. Uma uzokhipha izinkomo zasendle kusiza ukwazi ukuthi zenzeni futhi zisabele kanjani, futhi lokho kuyinjongo yosuku lwesibili ku-rink. Lolu suku lujabulisa kakhulu kuwo wonke amazinga omgibeli.

Ufunda izinto ezimbalwa ngokushesha. Hamba enhloko yenkomo ukuyivula. Hamba nge-flank ukuyihambisa. Ungasondeli kakhulu noma uzoyiphatha. Izigcawu zingumngani wakho futhi zinjengezigibeli eziningana, ngoba izinkomo ngeke zihambe nazo.

Okokugcina, ama-cones amane ayekwe esigcawini njenge "ipeni" futhi umsebenzi wawuwukuhambisa umhlambi emgodini, ukuwubeka phansi bese uwugcina lapho. Konke kujabulise kakhulu noTerry ukuhleka amahlaya nokumemeza imiyalelo. Manje sasilungele ukuhlanganisa izinkomo ... uhlobo.
