Chinese Horse Endurance Rider in United State
中国马术耐力赛选手在美国
Author: Mea 注:惠先生就是著名的马友"三啸"
What do Endurance horseback riding, China, and the United States have in common? Mr. Arthur Hui. I have participated in Endurance horseback riding for over 16 years and I have lived in China for over 2 years, but I had never heard of Endurance in China, and I had never heard of a Chinese person competing in an American Endurance ride! So when I received an email from Mr. Hui's associate, Elsa, looking for a horse for Mr. Hui to ride in an 80km race here in California, I had no idea what to expect! I was excited to meet Mr. Hui and my first meeting with him showed that he has a deep knowledge and understanding of horses, their breeding, and their conformation. Not only that, but, already a champion barrel racer who competes both at home and abroad, I could tell he is a motivated and determined rider. We immediately made a plan to find a horse for Mr. Hui to ride in one of our 80km rides so that he can fulfill his qualifications to nominate for WEG 2018! 在耐力赛方面,中国跟美国有什么共同之处?惠欣先生:“我有十六年的耐力赛经验”。我也在中国过了两年,可是我从来没听过在中国的耐力赛。因为我从来没听过中国人参加美国耐力比赛,我很惊讶收到Elsa的电子邮件说,惠先生想要找一匹马,因为他想参加加州的耐力赛。我很兴奋跟惠先生见面。我们第一次见面我看得很清楚关于马惠先生有恨深入的知识。另外他是马术绕桶的冠军。他既主动,又有决心。我们马上规划找一匹很合适的马,给惠先生一个机会参加80公里的耐力赛所以他有机会够2018全球耐力赛的资格。
When choosing a horse, the first thing you must decide is, what is your goal? For Mr. Hui's qualification rides, he must successfully complete and, according to the rules, he cannot go too fast, so the most important thing is not necessarily to have a fast horse, but rather to have a dependable horse. Luckily one of our good friends, Becky, has three endurance horses, all consistent and dependable! Becky has almost 10,000 miles of successful competition on her horses, so she is very knowledgeable about consistent slower-paced riding. Becky prefers to compete for mile accumulation rather than speed and she is very good at this! Sometimes she rides one horse for 4 days, 80km each day!
选择一匹马的时候,需要先考虑你有什么目标? 为了够资格惠先生需要完成而已,而且按规定不能跑得太快,所以不管马快不快,只要它很牢靠。好在我妈妈和我的朋友,Becky,有3匹耐力赛的马。Becky已经赛过16000公里左右,所以她很有经验。她对速度比较慢的耐力赛,很有见解。因为她不管名次,只管积累距离的比赛。有的时候她会参加四天的比赛,每天都要把80公里跑完。她很厉害!
The second thing to consider is the horse's record. If you want a fast horse, you want a horse with a record of speed. If you want a consistent horse, you want a record of completion. Luckily, all of Becky's horses have good completion records. One of her horses has over 6,000 competition miles, her other has over 2,000 competition miles, and her third, the youngest, is just starting his endurance career but has 150 miles of competition.
选马的时候,第二件需要考虑的事是马的记录。如果要找很快的一匹马,那要找有赛得很快的有成绩记录的一匹马。因为我们只要完成,要找一匹把很多比赛跑完的马。好在所有的Becky的马都很有经验。一匹已经超过6000英里,另外一匹超过2000英里,最后一匹有150英里因为他刚刚开始比赛可是它训练很好。
The last thing to consider is which horse suits the rider the best, and for that you need a test ride! So Mr. Hui, Becky, my mother, and I all went for a ride! We met Becky out in the high desert, a desolate beautiful place. There is little vegetation and even less water, but the sky is amazingly beautiful! As we arrived for our test ride, a storm was blowing in so we knew we had to hurry. Riding unfamiliar horses in unfamiliar saddles in an unfamiliar place isn't easy, but Mr. Hui was up for the challenge! We rode 10 miles together and switched horses so that Mr. Hui could try them. At last, he decided that he preferred the youngest, named Teddy. Although his record is the shortest, Mr. Hui could see that Teddy has potential and most importantly, Mr. Hui and Teddy suited each other best in personality and movement.
最后要考虑的是哪一匹马最适合惠先生,所以最好的是做考研。惠先生,Becky,我妈妈跟我都一起去骑马。我们在沙漠见过面,沙漠很荒凉,可是很漂亮。又很少的植物,更少水,可是天空好美。我们骑马的时候,快要下雨所以我们有一点着急。骑不陌生马,用陌生案子,在陌生的地方根本不容易可是惠先生接受挑战。我们骑了16公里,换马。Mr. Hui,Becky,跟我妈妈决定Roy和Teddy是最好的因为Roy很有经验可是不是太老,然后Teddy没有那么多经验可是它很有潜力。
As someone who has studied China and studied Chinese for many years, I am so pleased to be a part of helping Mr. Hui get qualified to attend WEG 2018, and also I am so proud to support him in becoming the first Chinese citizen to participate in a US Endurance ride! We will work our hardest to make sure that he is successful and we look forward to his participation in more rides in the future both here and abroad, and as Chinese endurance continues to develop, I hope that I, and other Americans, have a chance to attend Chinese competitions as well! Sports play a large role in international relations, countries have forged long lasting a deep friendships through sports competitions, and in that vein, I am so excited to be a part of Mr. Hui's pioneering journey in American Endurance!
因为我学过中文和中国文化,我很兴奋有机会帮助惠先生取得2018世界马术大赛的耐力赛的资格,另外我会支持他成为第一位中国人,来到美国参加美国的耐力赛。我们都会努力帮助他成功然后希望他有机会多参加国际耐力赛。希望中国的耐力赛越来越多,越来越发达,希望我跟其他美国人有机会到中国比赛。体育在国际关系中发挥了重要作用,各国通过体育比赛建立了长期的深厚友谊,在这方面,我感到非常兴奋能够成为惠先生在美国耐力赛的开拓之旅的一部分!
