点评:Incredibly poor experience with this company - my friend and I arrived for a 3 day self-guided tour and were given two horses who were aggressive to each other - we were told to keep them apart as they were lunging/kicking at each other in the stables before we’d even left. We were told one of the horses Gwen ‘hates all other horses’. We asked her to be swapped with a different horse and told it wasn’t possible, and that our horses would ‘calm down’ out on the ride. The opposite happened and what followed was three hours of dangerous riding with a number of narrow escapes on main roads as the horses repeatedly reversed into each other, kicked and reared. The advice to ‘keep them far apart’ was impossible as we had to speak to one another to navigate and open gates for each other. After a particularly terrifying experience where Gwen chased the other horse into a closed gate at the bottom of a lane and my friend almost fell off, we eventually called them and asked to be picked up as we were too scared to continue - only then were we told we were now able to swap horses - far too late as the experience has left neither of us ever wanting to ride again. What followed has been a dire customer service experience re compensating us for the experience - two months later they have accepted no responsibility, and we’ve received no refund - despite at one point being asked for our bank details. We’ve only received repeated offers of a complementary holiday - the last thing we want having lost all trust in the company, and now too afraid to ride again. Sure these self guided rides are fine if you’re an incredibly experienced rider very confident in dealing with challenging horses on busy roads, but otherwise would recommend avoiding - clearly no lessons have been learned from our experience. For reference my friend and I rode a lot as teenagers and are confident in walk/trot/canter but have only ridden every now and then as adults.
翻译:在这家公司的体验糟糕透顶——我和朋友来这里参加为期 3 天的自助游,他们给了我们两匹马,这两匹马互相攻击——我们被告知要让它们分开,因为在我们离开之前,它们就在马厩里互相冲撞/踢打。我们被告知其中一匹马格温“讨厌所有其他马”。我们要求给她换一匹马,但被告知这不可能,我们的马会在骑行中“冷静下来”。然而恰恰相反,接下来的三个小时是危险的骑行,在主干道上,马匹反复地倒车相撞、踢打和后腿站立,我们多次死里逃生。“让它们保持距离”的建议根本不可能实现,因为我们必须互相交谈来导航和为对方开门。格温追着另一匹马冲进小路尽头一扇紧闭的大门,我的朋友差点摔倒,那次经历太可怕了。我们最终打电话给他们,要求他们来接我们,因为我们太害怕了,不敢继续骑下去——直到那时他们才告诉我们现在可以换马了——但为时已晚,因为这次经历让我们俩都再也不想骑马了。接下来的客户服务体验非常糟糕,他们要求我们赔偿——两个月过去了,他们没有承担任何责任,我们也没有收到任何退款——尽管他们一度要求我们提供银行账户信息。我们只是反复收到免费假期的邀请——这是我们最不想要的,因为我们对这家公司失去了所有的信任,现在也不敢再骑马了。当然,如果你是一位经验丰富的骑手,并且非常有信心在繁忙的道路上应对具有挑战性的马匹,那么这些自助骑行活动是不错的选择,但除此之外,我建议你避免——显然,我们的经验并没有给我们带来任何教训。作为参考,我和我的朋友十几岁时经常骑马,对慢步/快步/慢跑都很有信心,但成年后只是偶尔骑一下。
