点评:Three great days spent at Talland to oil the creaky joints and knock some of the rust off before I went home to climb back aboard my rather 'enthusiastic' mare after a long time out. 3 x lunge lessons and 6 x lessons later I set off with renewed confidence and a polished mojo. Priceless.
There are many things to praise (lovely welcome by Pammy H., super-friendly staff, fab cafe, lovely horses). Standouts were the respect and affection given by all to the little guy (Timmy) who assesses the newbies: everyone and every animal treated with equal care and consideration; students encouraged to question rather than accept priciples without understanding; absolute cast-iron resolution to duty and patience shown by Pippa (fresh back from a medical procedure!); and generosity by the office staff when I muffed up my timings at the end. All so inspirational.
Next time I would choose accommodation rather than my horsebox so I would have a car to tour the beautiful surroundings. Staying on site did, however, mean I was there to watch lots of sessions, all very educational.
Fabulous experience.
翻译:在塔兰度过了美好的三天,给吱吱作响的关节上油,去除一些锈迹,然后回家,骑上我那匹“热情”的母马,这是很久没骑了。3 次弓步课和 6 次课后,我带着新的信心和精湛的技艺出发了。无价之宝。
有很多值得称赞的地方(Pammy H. 的热情欢迎、超级友好的员工、很棒的咖啡馆、可爱的马)。最突出的是大家对评估新手的小家伙(Timmy)的尊重和喜爱:每个人和每只动物都得到同样的关心和考虑;鼓励学生质疑而不是不理解就接受原则;Pippa(刚从医疗程序中回来!)表现出绝对坚定的决心和耐心;当我最后搞砸了时间时,办公室工作人员的慷慨。一切都很鼓舞人心。
下次我会选择住宿而不是我的马车,这样我就可以开车游览美丽的周围环境。不过,留在现场意味着我可以在那里观看很多会议,这些会议都非常有教育意义。
很棒的经历。
