点评:Overall disappointing experience. We were a large group who wanted to try somewhere different as we usually go to Brendon Manor Stables (who never fail to provide an amazing experience). We felt we were battling the horses the whole time with them constantly putting their heads down to eat grass and refusing to move - even when kicking them with as much force as physically possible! I have experience riding and found these horses to be very stubborn - almost essential to have a whip in order to get these horses going.
Grass reins would also be a good idea for routes with so much vegetation. Older lady who welcomed us into the yard, helping us with helmets, seemed to be quite rude and abrupt - talking down to us all. She also brought up a controversial topic which the group felt was inappropriate. Young girl who rode out with us was really good, can’t fault her - although could have benefited from another instructor being present for those at the back of the ride with horses who were refusing to move. One of my mates reins snapped during the ride and the girl who rode out with us said this was normal as the reins get dry. If this is regular occurrence perhaps a spare set of reins would be an idea, especially with inexperienced, nervous riders.
To top it off, after the ride a couple of us went to the cafe for some food but was made to feel like a burden for doing so - as they were wanting to shut the kitchen 30-60mins later. Unfortunately we shan’t be going back there and will not be recommending Exmoor riding school stables to anyone.
At Brendon manor stables you receive a warm reception, have a laugh with the instructor on the ride and they take care of you - never once have we felt unsafe. We also have many photos taken whilst on the ride which is nice to look back on.
翻译:总体而言,体验令人失望。我们人数众多,想尝试不同的地方,因为我们通常去 Brendon Manor Stables(他们总能提供令人惊叹的体验)。我们感觉自己一直在与马匹搏斗,它们不断低下头吃草,拒绝移动 - 即使用尽全力踢它们!我有骑马的经验,发现这些马非常顽固 - 几乎必须有鞭子才能让这些马动起来。
对于植被如此丰富的路线,草缰绳也是一个好主意。欢迎我们进入院子并帮助我们戴头盔的老太太似乎很粗鲁和唐突 - 对我们所有人都说话很傲慢。她还提出了一个有争议的话题,小组认为不合适。和我们一起骑马的年轻女孩真的很好,她无可挑剔 - 虽然如果能有另一位教练在场,为那些拒绝移动的马匹提供帮助,那就更好了。我的一个朋友在骑马时缰绳断了,和我们一起骑马的女孩说这是正常的,因为缰绳会变干。如果这种情况经常发生,也许备用一套缰绳是个好主意,尤其是对于没有经验、紧张的骑手来说。
最糟糕的是,骑马结束后,我们几个人去咖啡馆吃了点东西,但感觉这样做很累人——因为他们打算在 30-60 分钟后关闭厨房。不幸的是,我们不会再去那里了,也不会向任何人推荐埃克斯穆尔骑术学校马厩。
在布伦登庄园马厩,你会受到热情的接待,在骑马时和教练一起开怀大笑,他们会照顾你——我们从来没有感到不安全。我们还在骑马时拍了很多照片,回想起来很不错。
