The Arabian horse was one of the oldest horse breeds in the world. It was also the first horse breed to establish a bloodline registration system. It was light and compact, giving them strength, speed, and extraordinary endurance.
Its special facial structure allowed the Arabian horse to be qualified for various equestrian events, especially in long-distance endurance races. It was the undisputed king. It was an expert in Olympic events such as dressage and steeplechase. Due to its high IQ and familial nature, the Arabian horse was also an excellent companion animal for the family.
William fell in love with the three-year-old little stallion at first sight. The little stallion, which his mother, Lena, called Devonshire II, had a strong body and strong steps. It seemed like it liked to be close to humans. When it saw its mother coming, it kept shaking its head and wagging its tail. It even knocked the guardrail from time to time, neighing and trying to get out of the stable.
His mother laughed and opened the guardrail. When the little stallion came out, it wagged its tail even more happily. It walked to its mother and pushed Lena with its face from time to time, wanting to go out and have fun. Lena held Devonshire II and said with a laugh, "William, do you want to try riding it?"
Forget it. The thought of the horse's name made William feel strange. He shook his head and said, "No, mom, it will be your exclusive mount. Although the Arabian horse is very beautiful, it is still a little small for a person of my height.
I like the Ahajie Golden Horse, the Ferghana horse in the legends of the East. I heard that there are less than 3,000 of them in the world. Most of them are now in Turkmenistan, and they don't seem to be expensive. Some sources say that the purebred horses in England are the hybrids of the Ferghana horse and several other types of horses. "
Thinking about the legends he had heard in the Great Celestial Empire in his previous life and his love for Ferghana horses, as well as the soaring price of Ferghana horses in the near future, William felt that raising Ferghana horses was a good idea as he could make money as well as a hobby. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that raising Ferghana horses was a good idea.
He envisioned the scene of him raising a large group of Ferghana horses in the future. He also envisioned the scene of him, the owner of the horse farm, being mentioned in the news in the future. Other rich people would only buy one or two Ferghana horses, but he would have dozens or hundreds of Ferghana horses. Just thinking about it made William's blood boil.
After making up his mind, William told his mother that he was going to look up the phone number immediately and contact a professional management company to get them to help him choose horses. He wanted to buy a large number of good horses while the market price in Hanxue was not expensive.
But before William could take a few steps, he heard his mother's voice. "Well, you don't have to look for the number. I have the number of a professional broker. Their company is the largest horse trading company in England. Devonshire II bought his horse from them.
If you want to buy a horse, tell them what you want, and they will send someone to deliver a picture album to your door for you to choose from. If you choose one, they will send it to your home and wait for you to confirm the transaction. It's a one-stop service. You don't have to go out and look for it yourself. "
William was overjoyed. He took out his phone and dialed the number his mother gave him. After a few rings, he heard, "Hello, this is Dali Horse Industry. How can I help you?"
The voice was quite pleasant. William said, "Hello, I'm William Devonshire. I want to buy some Ferghana horses. Does your company have Ferghana horses in England?"
"Devonshire, Oxford's Devonshire?" The receptionist exclaimed. "I'm sorry, sir. Are you Mr. William Devonshire?"
"Haha, that's right. If there's no other William Devonshire in Oxford, then it's me." William was secretly delighted to hear the girl on the other side of the phone make a fuss about nothing.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Devonshire. I'm so surprised to receive your call. I'm sorry, I was rude. Of course, our company has Ahajie Golden Horses, which are Ferghana horses. Do you have any requirements for the horse you want to buy? We will choose according to your requirements. After choosing, we will make an album and video and send a specialist to serve you. "
"Very good. I only want horses that have just reached adulthood or are about to reach adulthood. They have to be strong and beautiful. It's best if they are red. You know who I am. I only want good horses, and I only want Ferghana."
"No problem, I've noted it down, sir. We will immediately organize the information and video. In two hours, we will rush to Oxford Devonshire Castle to meet you. Is that okay?" "Sir," the receptionist said carefully.
"Okay, I'll be at home today. Don't let me down. I'm looking forward to your arrival. Bye," William said.
"I promise that our company will satisfy you. See you in two hours. Bye, sir."
After hanging up the phone, William stood by the guardrail and watched his mother ride Devonshire II at a constant speed on the racetrack in the stable. The Arabian horses were very beautiful, but they were a little small. The tallest one was only about 1.52 meters, and most of them were about 1.46 meters. This was indeed a little short for William, who was already 1.9 meters tall.
However, it seemed that the Ferghana horses were not very tall either. They were only five or six centimeters taller than the Alabama horses. However, William was loved by the people of the Celestial Empire in his previous life. It was hard to buy what one liked even if one had money. With the price of Ferghana, who else could he buy?
He stood by the guardrail and accompanied his mother for an hour. When Devonshire II was sweating from running, Lena reluctantly handed it over to a professional horse trainer.
It seemed that his mother really liked horses. On the way back to the castle, Lena kept talking about things related to horses. She talked about how she wished to have her own horse when she was young, how she chose Devonshire II a few days ago, and how she communicated with it.
William listened to his mother happily. Unknowingly, they arrived at the castle. As soon as they got home, Lena ignored William and went to wash up.
William, who had just returned home and had nothing to do, told the servant that if anyone came to look for him, they should first take them to the living room and wait. After that, William went to the back garden and sat on a round chair, drinking coffee and reading today's newspaper.
Half an hour later, William received a message from the servant saying that the people from the horse company had arrived.
These guys came so fast. No wonder they were the largest horse company in England. William got up, put down the newspaper, straightened his clothes, and followed the servant back to the castle. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a middle-aged man standing up with four or five men and women in suits. They looked at William with a smile on their faces.
William took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand, and said, "Welcome. I'm William Devonshire."
The middle-aged man shook William's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Devonshire. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Luther Daly. I'm the general manager of Daly Horse Company. This is my business card."
William shook hands with Daly and took his business card. After greeting the others and sitting down, he looked at Daly's business card and said, "Family business?"
Daly smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Devonshire. Our family has been in the horse industry in England for 210 years. Daly Arabian, one of the three ancestors of the earliest purebred horses, belongs to our family. As one of the three purebred horse families, the Daly family has been in the horse industry for more than 200 years. We are the most professional horse racing family."
