The resort at Garrison Ranch has begun to receive tourists, and various supporting tourism projects have been launched one after another. Although the number of tourists is currently not large, it is a good start.
Compared to Linkwood, who was blindly anxious, Kebinson, as a bystander, could see clearly that as long as the ranch had money to sustain such a project, as its popularity increased and word-of-mouth spread, business would increase.
The better.
Rodeo competitions are Kbinson's recent focus. Through his efforts, the State Cowboys Association will organize a Yellowstone County-wide rodeo competition in September this year. He will serve as chairman of the competition organizing committee. Link
Wood serves as Vice Chairman.
Relevant departments in Huangshi County attach great importance to this competition. They not only visited the arena many times for on-site inspections, but also sent officials to join the competition organizing committee to coordinate various affairs.
Even the state sent special personnel to guide the work.
As a large animal husbandry state with many more cattle than people, there is no national rodeo competition, which makes the state government lose face.
Even if there are some regional rodeo competitions, they are all temporary arenas set up on grass. There is no standard professional arena like the Billings-Garrison Rodeo Arena to cheer up.
Therefore, the state has made it clear that an observation group will come down during the competition. If the competition is properly organized and has a promising future, the state will promote the competition to the entire state and make it a regular event.
It is a standard event and we will look forward to turning it into a national competition in the future.
Not to mention Kebbinson, he should regard this event as a major political achievement of his. Now if he doesn't come to the ranch to visit someday, I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable all over.
Not only is it a rodeo competition, Yayuan Jockey Club has purchased several racing young horses, two of which have turned three years old this year and can participate in official competitions on behalf of Yayuan Jockey Club.
In fact, since this year, these two horses have participated in several regional horse racing competitions.
This kind of competition is not well-known and the prize money is relatively low. In order to attract more outstanding horses to participate, the age of the horses is relatively relaxed, and those who are over two years old can participate.
Therefore, this kind of competition is also nicknamed the foal (young horse) race. Many world-famous racehorses participated in this kind of competition when they were young.
The Yayuan Jockey Club has also arranged for horse racing to participate, not for performance reasons, but to allow the horses to familiarize themselves with the environment and atmosphere of the venue as soon as possible and to warm up in advance for participating in official competitions in the future.
The club currently has five racing horses, two three-year-olds and three two-year-olds. Among them are two thoroughbreds from Britten, two Arabians, and an American used for sprint racing.
Quarter horse.
The club also purchased two championship-level stallions at a high price, namely a 16-year-old Arabian horse and a 14-year-old Akhal Tekin horse.
The Akhalte Golden Horse is what Chinese people often call the "horse of blood". It is extremely rare and is known as the national treasure of Turkmenistan. It is impossible to buy it by just stacking money.
Fortunately, Turkmenistan is still one of the republics of Russia, and Sun Dahai was able to get it through the great help of the Alexander family.
Sun Dahai also spent a lot of money on this. The nominal transfer price of this retired horse, which has won several international championships, is US$10 million, but the cost of management inside and outside must be taken into account.
More than fifteen hundred and five dollars.
However, Zhu Shuang and several horse racing consultants he invited strongly supported Sun Dahai's approach.
Zhu Shuang once said: "Not counting the excellent offspring it left for our club, just talking about using it for breeding, it will take at most five or six years to make a return."
Zhu Shuang was of course joking. A stallion of this level cannot be bred by just anyone for a little money. Its first priority is to produce good enough offspring for the club. This is where its value lies.
Those Arabian horses were all bought by Maniel through connections. Most of his uncles, uncles and brothers like horse racing, and each family has many excellent stallions and foals.
But the problem is that none of those big dog owners are short of money. Without Maniel's connection, Yayuan Jockey Club might not be able to buy even a single horse hair.
It is said that Abdullah personally helped Maniel buy the championship-winning stallion.
This is one of the reasons why Sun Dahai took the initiative to hand over the control of the new project in Dubai to him. If you can repay favors, it is best to repay them as soon as possible.
The two competition horses (colts) from Britten were bought by Zhu Shuang.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club has a close relationship with the Britten Jockey Club. With the relationship between Zhu Shuang and the Hong Kong Jockey Club, it is very difficult to buy a championship-level stallion from the Britten through the channels of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, but you have to buy the offspring of a championship-level stallion.
, but it’s not a big problem, and it’s not like I won’t pay.
As for the remaining quarter horse, that's another story.
Yayuan Jockey Club is registered with the American Jockey Club, so it cannot turn a blind eye to the Quarter Horse that the American Jockey Club strongly recommends.
Anyway, the price of a Quarter Horse is not too expensive. The offspring of a champion less than one year old only costs US$500,000. Moreover, the Quarter Horse performs well in short-distance and ultra-short-distance racing, so Zhu Shuang is
If the club buys one, it can be regarded as a protection fee paid to the American Jockey Club.
The club not only has these horses, Zhu Shuang also imported two pairs of purebred Shetland horses from the Netherlands, which are specially prepared for children and teenagers.
Not long ago, Garrison Ranch acquired the ranch next door. The owner of that ranch has been in the riding horse business for many years. Many of the riding horses used by the cowboys hired by Garrison Ranch were purchased from him.
.
The ranch raised a total of more than 30 quarter horses and American pinto horses of average quality, large and small.
After the owner sold the ranch, he only took away his two favorite horses and resold the remaining horses to the club. The club had exactly this need, so Zhu Shuang happily took over without having to buy additional horses.
Yayuan Racing Club has the task of cooperating with the resort to receive tourists, and Liv also plans to cooperate with the club to carry out free riding activities for tourists in the future.
By then, we can’t use real racehorses or championship-level stallions for tourists to ride as ordinary riding horses!
Yayuan Horse Racing Club has three main businesses: The first is to participate in various formal horse racing competitions, which not only makes the club famous, but also earns some bonuses and sponsorships.
The second job is to complete the club's own business. For example, recruiting members, arranging riding training and internal activities, raising and managing horses on behalf of members, etc.
The third job is to cooperate with Jiayu International Travel Agency to arrange various horse-related activities for tourists. This part of the work is mainly undertaken by the racecourse and managed by the club.
