点评:One of THE best trail rides I've ever been on. Let me tell you why...
As the father of an Equestrian, I have spent a LOT of time at stables. I can't tell you the technical side of things, but I CAN tell you when stables are clean, horses are well taken care of and equipment is new-ish and up to date. Fort McDowell Adventures checked off all those boxes for me. A good start. The next thing that struck me was- though young, the staff was super professional and clearly passionate about working with the horses and trail riding tourists. I wish I could remember every team members names, but I can't. Hailey, Taylor and the rest of Troy's crew made my family's ride fun, but also safe. Crossing a river might not sound like much, but it was an exciting experience that we'll all remember for a lifetime. The setting for the ride is awesome. The desert, the mountains, the river and the brush really come alive on horseback. One thing that did strike me was how several riders ignored the recommendation of wearing jeans/long pants and good shoes. I'd imagine they were feeling it the next day. This trail ride was not hard, but the country we rode is was not easy. Be prepared, and enjoy the ride.
翻译:这是我经历过的最棒的越野骑行之一。让我来告诉你为什么……
作为一名马术爱好者的父亲,我花了很多时间在马厩里。我无法告诉你技术层面的东西,但我可以告诉你马厩是否干净,马匹是否得到妥善照顾,以及设备是否是新的和最新的。麦克道尔堡探险公司满足了我的所有要求。这是一个好的开始。接下来让我印象深刻的是——虽然员工都很年轻,但他们非常专业,显然对与马匹和越野骑行游客一起工作充满热情。我希望我能记住每个团队成员的名字,但我做不到。Hailey、Taylor 和 Troy 的其他队员让我一家的骑行既有趣又安全。过河听起来可能没什么,但这是一次令人兴奋的经历,我们将终生难忘。骑行的环境非常棒。沙漠、山脉、河流和灌木丛在马背上栩栩如生。让我印象深刻的是,好几个骑手竟然无视穿牛仔裤/长裤和好鞋的建议。我猜他们第二天肯定也会有同样的感受。这次的山路骑行并不难,但我们骑行的地区却不容易。做好准备,享受骑行吧。
