This was Li Younan's first time riding a horse.
However, the joy in his heart was hard to describe.
He took a deep breath and patted the horse's head. The horse was well-fed, with spirited eyes, and while caressing it, the horse was also sizing up Li Younan, giving a soft neigh.
The guide gave a brief demonstration to Li Younan on how to mount the horse.
Li Younan patiently watched the demonstration and then swiftly mounted the horse's back.
The guide still held the reins, and Li Younan asked, "Can you let go and let me ride by myself?"
The guide's expression was a bit odd and said, "If I let go, you'll fall."
But he took a couple more steps, then looked back at Li Younan with some curiosity, assessing him up and down.
Experienced riders know that you can tell if someone can ride a horse from the moment they mount.
Being able to ride isn't just about getting the horse to run; it's about a relaxed expression, a comfortable posture, and fluid movements.
