点评:Just finished a 10 day riding trip across the north coast of Ireland.
First leg of the journey we rode with Donal and staff at BEI, then finished our trip at Castle Leslie. Because of the sincere warmth and friendliness of the Irish people,every moment was a joy, but our time spent in Ballycastle and riding with Bespoke was by far the highlight.
No words can aptly describe just how magical it was..... the Best!
From the first, we were met with genuine warmth. This is a family run business and they make you feel like friends rather than tourists.
Their horses are beautiful, strong, sturdy, kind, and good at their jobs. They take care of their riders whether it's galloping along the beach, climbing up and down grassy dunes or exploring a nearby forest. Every horse is healthy, and clearly enjoy their work.
During our rides we would often stop at a specific landmark, and listen as Donal told us stories of the history of this beautiful land -- his land - his family's land. He speaks with love and pride.
We had breaks in between rides, one day it was an Irish Tea served in a lovely, airy cabin overlooking the farms and fields of five counties. Another day we enjoyed a hot lunch at a local Cafe, laughing and swapping stories, and getting to know each other. The staff are all friendly, helpful and engaging and Love their horses. It's all family to them.
Every day was special. I can't wait to go back.
Thank You, BEI for this experience.
翻译:刚刚结束了为期10天的爱尔兰北海岸骑行之旅。
旅程的第一站,我们与Donal以及BEI的工作人员一起骑行,最后在莱斯利城堡结束了我们的旅程。爱尔兰人民真诚热情、热情友好,让我们的每一刻都充满喜悦,而我们在巴利卡斯尔与Bespoke一起骑行的时光更是锦上添花。
任何语言都无法形容它有多么神奇……太棒了!
从一开始,我们就感受到了真诚的温暖。这是一家家族企业,他们让你感觉像朋友而不是游客。
他们的马匹漂亮、强壮、结实、友善,而且工作出色。无论是沿着海滩奔跑,在草丛沙丘上攀爬,还是在附近的森林中探索,他们都无微不至地照顾着骑手。每匹马都很健康,而且显然很享受它们的工作。
在骑行过程中,我们经常会在特定的地标停留,聆听Donal讲述这片美丽土地的历史——他的土地——他家族的土地。他说话时充满爱意和自豪。
我们在骑行间隙休息。有一天,我们在一间舒适通风的小屋里享用了爱尔兰茶,小屋俯瞰着五个郡的农场和田野。另一天,我们在当地一家咖啡馆享用了热腾腾的午餐,欢声笑语,分享故事,互相了解。工作人员都很友好、乐于助人、热情好客,并且热爱他们的马匹。对他们来说,马就像家人一样。
每天都很特别。我迫不及待地想再去一次。
感谢BEI提供的这次体验。
