Chapter 403 The Horse Ranch in the Castle
The island where the castle is located is actually quite large; otherwise, there wouldn't be a golf course there.

Although part of it was later converted into recreational lawns, most of the area was allocated to the horse farm.

"This horse farm looks quite professional; at least it's not small in scale."

Of the three, Evelyn is undoubtedly the one with the most authority to speak about Baba.

After all, equestrianism is considered an aristocratic sport, and she often accompanied the Third Prince on social occasions, having seen countless horse farms.

"Judging from that person's equipment, he was also very professional."

Unlike outdoor horseback riding, which only requires basic equipment such as helmets, boots, and gloves.

Professional equestrian equipment is more extensive, and the horses also need to be equipped with saddles, reins, stirrups, etc.

Evelyn could tell that this person was very well-equipped, and it was probably not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

"Xu..."

As the three of them drew closer to the riding arena, Eugene, who had already noticed them from horseback, rode his horse toward them.

"Are you guests of the castle?"

Yesterday, the crew of the Explorers came to the island in a large group, and with last night's live broadcast, Eugene knew that there were guests at the castle.

He just hadn't expected the guests to come all this way; the horse farm is quite a distance from the castle.

"Yes, I heard there's a horse farm here, and I wanted to come and take a look."

As Leila explained her purpose, her eyes kept glancing at Eugene's horse, clearly showing some eagerness.

After noticing this, Eugene smiled kindly.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Eugene. I'm a friend of the castle owner. This is the horse I'm keeping here."

The castle owner rarely comes here, but he manages the horse farm very well, which is why Eugene keeps his prized horse here and comes to check on it from time to time.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he happened to be there during the Exploration's sea trial and a castle ball was being held. Even from another house, Eugene could occasionally hear the sounds of their revelry.

"Hello, Mr. Eugene."

Evelyn was more adept at social interactions, so she took the lead in making introductions, which also served as a way for both parties to get to know each other.

After all, they wanted to borrow a horse to ride.

"So you're a distinguished guest. How rude of me."

Eugene dismounted and gave them a gentlemanly bow.

Of course, the main reason he was asked to bow was because of Princess Evelyn.

Although Evelyn did not explicitly reveal her identity, Eugene could guess the general idea.

Especially during their live stream last night, Eugene caught a glimpse of it and knew that Princess Evelyn was also there.

"We're just here to have fun, so we don't need to worry about anything else."

Evelyn responded gently to Eugene's gentlemanly greeting, then looked toward the horse farm.

"May we go in and take a look?"

Since the castle owners have lent the horse ranch to Eugene, they should ask Eugene's opinion.

"of course can."

Eugene could tell that Lyra's eyes had never left her horse.

He proactively pointed out the entrance to the horse farm to the ladies. To prevent the horses from running away and disturbing others, especially guests, the horse farm was fenced off.

Men can simply climb over the fence, but women tend to be more concerned about their image in front of others.

Wow! There are so many horses here?

When Leila saw the rows of horses, she radiated excitement and joy, clearly a great lover of horseback riding.

As she introduced the different breeds of horses with great familiarity, Eugene, the temporary owner, had no chance to interject and could only follow beside them, occasionally pointing out directions.

"It seems Ms. Leila really knows a lot about horses. Would you like to give it a try?"

"Really?! That's great!" Eugene offered them a test ride, saving Lyra the awkwardness of having to ask.

"I've already decided which horse I want to ride!"

Leila went straight to one of the black horses that was kept alone, looking quite interested.

The way she looked at the horse was unusually affectionate, something Liang He and Evelyn hadn't expected.

"Ladies, please come with me to change into your gear. The horses also need to be equipped with professional saddles, etc."

Normally, the horses here roam freely at set times each day, so they don't wear saddles.

Eugene could tell that Lyra was very experienced, but the necessary safety measures still needed to be taken into account.

"Okay, let's hurry up and change our clothes and equipment!"

In high spirits, Leila pulled Lianghe and Evelyn toward the dressing room.

Fortunately, the horse farm is well-maintained and has a full range of equestrian clothing sizes, which saves a lot of trouble.

After they change into their riding clothes and put on their basic equipment, they can go to the riding arena to claim the horse they have chosen.

"Huh? Where's my little black dog?"

Leila was really looking forward to the dark horse she had just chosen, but when she arrived at the racecourse, she didn't see it and asked in confusion.

"The horse you chose has not yet been tamed. For safety reasons, we will have to ask you to choose another one."

Horses are inherently wild, and taming them, especially wild and untamed ones, requires a significant amount of time and effort; it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Leila understood this, so although she was somewhat disappointed, she didn't press the matter further and instead chose another brown horse.

"Xiao He, which horse are you planning to choose? Do you need me to give you some advice?"

Seeing that Liang He didn't say much, Evelyn wanted her to choose a horse first.

She believed that she had more experience riding horses than Liang He.

"I... am fine with anything."

Liang He, who was being stared at by a row of horses, choked up.

It wasn't that Liang He didn't want to choose, but the horses were extremely intelligent. They seemed to realize that she could communicate with them, and they all looked at her with their big, bright eyes, wanting to go out for a run.

"Then choose this chestnut horse; it should be quite docile."

Evelyn didn't know how good Lianghe's riding skills were, so she conservatively recommended a safer horse.

"Row."

Liang He had no objection to this.

She was originally there to accompany Evelyn and Lyra, and she wasn't as enthusiastic or excited about horseback riding as they were.

Moreover, to be honest, after riding a series of ferocious beasts such as the Mojin King Tiger, horses seemed rather childish to her.

"Then I'll choose this gray one; it looks really high-end."

Evelyn, who is fond of sophisticated gray, chose a gray horse, which, judging from its physique, is also a fine horse.

After the three women made their choices, Eugene did not object, indicating that all three horses were suitable for them to ride.

After Eugene helped Evelyn mount her horse, he found that Lyra was already trotting on her horse.

However, the person who surprised him even more was the 'taciturn' Liang He.

"咴咴——"

Liang He nimbly mounted the horse and sat steadily on its back, clearly demonstrating great skill.

Even from a movement analysis perspective, her technique is more professional than that of Lyra and Evelyn.

Besides Eugene, Evelyn also witnessed this scene and looked at Liang He with surprise.

"Xiao He, did you learn to ride a horse when you were on Earth?"
