点评:We booked a 2 day learn to ride bespoke tour and were not quite sure what to expect. We arrived and were warmly greeted by our guide. We changed, packed our saddle bags and had a lovely cup of tea with our guide while we discussed what we wanted to get out of the trek.
We then headed out and met our horses, I was luckily paired with Whiskey who is a lovely patient girl but loves to stop and eat at any opportunity! My Mum was paired with Mercury who was very chilled and plodded along as his own pace.
We had a quick basic lesson on how to tack the horses up, we were given a demo and then off we went to tack up ourselves, it was very hands on which we enjoyed as we were learning new things instantly.
Once we tacked up, before we knew it we were on the horses and off we went! We spent a little while getting used to the horses but within a very short time we were trotting and then within a couple of hours we were doing short canters through the Welsh Hills!
The trek is very varied, marshes, roads, common land, it is very varied but the horses are so used to the tracks, they are very steady and unphased. We did encounter some wild ponies which was interesting!
We stopped for lunch in the Hills on both days, which was beautiful and made a change from the busy London that we are used to. Our guide was perfect for us, I think she understood us and what we wanted to get out of the trail, challenging us but also keeping us safe! She gently pushed us to canter and trot for longer periods, slowly building our confidence and still making it fun!
The trip is full on in terms of looking after the horse, you groom, tack, tie up, feed, catch and then remove the tack etc at the end of each day. It is very hands on but very enjoyable and interesting if you are willing to learn!
Included within the trip is a 1 night stay at a lovely, local B&B, 2 course evening meal, breakfast in the morning and packed lunches on both days. We were well fed and so were our horses as we were given extra treats for our horses in our packed lunches! Our horses loved their apples, carrots and Polo's! The trip is very well organised and went without a hitch, our luggage was delivered from Freerein HQ to the B&B and then back again without our input or worry.
The trip exceeded our expectations and I would recommend to anyone that fancies something a little different!
翻译:我们预订了为期 2 天的学习骑行定制之旅,但不太确定会发生什么。我们到达并受到导游的热烈欢迎。我们换好衣服,收拾好马鞍包,和导游一起喝了一杯可爱的茶,同时讨论了我们想从这次徒步旅行中得到什么。
然后我们出发去见了我们的马,幸运的是我和威士忌配对,她是一个可爱耐心的女孩,但喜欢抓住任何机会停下来吃饭!我妈妈和墨丘利搭档,他非常冷淡,按照自己的节奏缓慢前行。
我们上了一堂关于如何拴马的快速基础课程,我们得到了一个演示,然后我们就开始自己拴马了,这是我们非常喜欢的动手操作,因为我们立即学到了新东西。
我们一上船,不知不觉就已经上马了,出发了!我们花了一点时间来适应马匹,但在很短的时间内我们就开始小跑了,然后在几个小时内我们就在威尔士山上进行了短距离慢跑!
跋涉的路程多种多样,沼泽、道路、公共土地,多种多样,但马匹已经习惯了轨道,它们非常稳定且不分阶段。我们确实遇到了一些野生小马,这很有趣!
这两天我们都在山上停下来吃午饭,那里很美丽,与我们习惯的繁忙的伦敦有所不同。我们的导游非常适合我们,我认为她了解我们以及我们想要从这条小道中得到什么,挑战我们但也保证我们的安全!她轻轻地推动我们慢跑和小跑更长的时间,慢慢地建立我们的信心,而且仍然很有趣!
这次旅行的内容很丰富,包括照顾马、梳理马匹、拴马、拴马、喂马、抓马、然后在每天结束时取下马钉等等。如果您愿意学习,它非常实用,但非常有趣且有趣!
旅行包括在当地一家可爱的 B&B 住宿 1 晚、两道菜的晚餐、早上的早餐以及两天的外带午餐。我们吃得很好,我们的马也吃得很好,因为我们在外带午餐中为我们的马提供了额外的零食!我们的马很喜欢苹果、胡萝卜和波罗的!这次旅行组织得很好,顺利进行,我们的行李从 Freerein 总部运送到 B&B,然后又返回,没有我们的输入或担心。
这次旅行超出了我们的预期,我会推荐给任何想要一些不同的东西的人!
