Chapter 43 Olympic Horse (1)

"Weekly Bunshun" magazine had a column for a long time, called "I want to be such a person", and published a lot of photos.For example, writer Renzaburo Shibata dressed in a tuxedo as a band conductor, standing on the podium in front of the orchestra; Yasuhiro Nakasone dressed as a goldfish seller; actress Chikako Miyagi as a pilot; writer Yuki Mishima Ji Fu dressed as a police officer in white and so on.All in all, it's an interesting plot.The magazine called me and said: "Excuse me, do you have any dreams? If you ever wanted to be what kind of person, we will do our best to prepare according to your hope."

I had a lot of dreams since I was a child, and the final thought was that if I could become a professional woman, I had a career I wanted to do, but unfortunately it didn't come true, so I accepted their invitation.My dream was to become a "horse show rider", but at that time women could not become riders, so I had to give up.The magazine guy said: "Your idea is rare, and you must be invited to participate in this program. Then you can take pictures while riding a horse." So, it was time to take pictures.The photo location is set at the Zhongshan Racecourse.The magazine told me that the riders' outfits are all on loan from the racecourse, so don't worry.But I didn't expect that this costume not only needs to be worried, but also caused a lot of twists and turns.

I change in a reception room at the Zhongshan Racecourse.The clothes belonged to an active rider who, like me, weighs forty-five kilograms and is not quite 1.6 meters tall.However, I can't get in his pants at all.It's understandable if the hips or waist don't go in, but from the beginning, the instep didn't go in, which surprised me.I don't think my feet are that big, but I just can't fit them in.I unbuttoned the button next to it, tossed and tossed for a long time, and finally stretched out the heel, but the ankle and calf were completely squeezed there, and now I couldn't take it off even if I wanted to.I didn't expect male riders to be so small.In the past, when I said I wanted to be an equestrian, an acquaintance used to say "that's impossible".I ask him why."Because women crush horses," he said.The reason for saying this is that with the same forty-five kilograms in weight, a woman's volume will be larger, so she will be more aggressive and will hinder the horse's progress.At that time, I laughed and said, "You are so funny."But when I tried on the rider's pants, I started to think "maybe that's true".As a result, I couldn’t wear the trousers of the active rider, so I had no choice but to borrow the trousers of a retired rider who is now working in the office because of his fat body.This time, my feet stretched out smoothly, but the waist of the trousers was twice as big as mine. I had no choice but to borrow a belt, pleated the trousers a few times, and finally tied them on.As for the rider's top (it can also be called a shirt), the current rider's clothes are looser, so there is no problem.The top is bright yellow, and when you put it on, you immediately feel like an equestrian rider.

"Great!" As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, I found that the helmet only rested on the top of my head and couldn't be put in. It was quite tragic.This is because the heads of active riders are small, and secondly, because my hairstyle was a childish hairstyle at the time, and the hair on the back of my head was bulging.Still, I didn't expect the helmet to be so small.However, almost all helmets are of the same model. If you don't wear a helmet, you don't look like a rider at all.So, some gentlemen came and pushed the helmet off the top of my head, and managed to get my head in.But the head was clamped tightly by the helmet, and the pain was so severe that I could hardly hear what everyone was saying.But everyone praised "It's really beautiful", so I think I can hold back a little headache.

But my tragedy continues.Just when I thought "this is finally all right", the riding boots were brought in front of me.These are the riding boots of the active rider just now. I managed to get my toes into them, but my calves were the same as before, and I couldn't fit them no matter what.So, everyone brought me the riding boots of the uncle who had been a rider, but this pair was too big.The photographer said, "This looks like rubber rain boots", but he still chose the riding boots of active riders.I only put my toes in it, and when I walked around, everyone said, "Please step on it firmly. When you ride a horse and take a photo, you only need to lift up the part that can be seen in front of you."So, I dragged my riding boots and walked to the racetrack with everyone.

When we arrived at the place where we took pictures, there stood a majestic tall horse with a very moist and beautiful brown color.I have never seen such a majestic horse, and I was stunned and intoxicated.This horse is just perfect! How can there be a horse with such thin legs? I am very excited.When I was fascinated by watching, the people at the racetrack said to me: "It has been decided that this horse will participate in the Tokyo Olympics next year, isn't it good?" I said I was overjoyed to be able to ride such a fine horse. I quickly got on the horse's back.The horse is very tall, and it feels refreshing to ride on horseback.The uncle who took care of the horse stood beside the horse holding the rein in his hand.

Suddenly, the horse's head turned towards me, and the uncle said, "Come back! Come back!" while pulling the rein, but the horse turned its head again.I asked the uncle: "Why is the horse looking this way?" Uncle pointed to the distance behind me and said: "This horse wants to see the stable over there, and once it sees the stable, it will go back immediately. So please don't let it see it." Although the uncle said that the horse should not see the stable, but the horse's eyes are so big and its neck is very long, maybe it will see it at some time, and I'm afraid it's impossible to guard against.But I still say:

"I'll pay attention."
