点评:Disappointed is the first word which comes to mind. On arrival at the meeting place for our all day horse ride, we were not greeted by staff. No welcome or hello, no introductions. After signing our waivers and paying an additional $10 to hire dirty old boots, we were given a run down on the safety of the horses by the very grumpy owner, who’s name I found out later was Justin. Justin made it quite clear that his only concern was his horses and not his paying customers well-being.
Our lunch bags were plonked on a nearby table for us to assume they were ours.After seeing the small lunch provided we went back to our rooms for more snacks for a full day of riding. Once out on our ride, we spent the first half an hour sitting on our horses listening to the history of the property. This could’ve been included in our non existent welcome! The ride was slow, boring, with only two small opportunities for a trot or canter, definitely not the type of ride an experienced rider would enjoy. Some of the terrain was very challenging for the horses including a long stretch of hill climbing. As I had travelled almost a full day to get to this ride, I was very disappointed.
Unfortunately, one of my friends fell off during this ride and Justin looked annoyed rather than concerned and did not get off his horse to assist. His only other staff member on the ride assisted.
The one positive during this experience was the young girl, Chantelle who assisted us mounting the horses, she was lovely and very helpful. I will not be returning.
翻译:失望是我首先想到的词。当我们到达全天骑马的集合地点时,工作人员没有迎接我们。没有欢迎或问候,没有介绍。在我们签署了免责声明并额外支付了 10 美元租用脏旧靴子后,脾气暴躁的主人向我们介绍了马匹的安全情况,我后来才知道他的名字叫贾斯汀。贾斯汀明确表示,他唯一关心的是他的马匹,而不是付费客户的福祉。
我们的午餐袋被扔在附近的桌子上,让我们以为是我们的。看到提供的小午餐后,我们回到房间吃更多的零食,准备一整天的骑马。骑马上路后,我们花了半个小时坐在马背上听庄园的历史。这本来可以算在我们不存在的欢迎仪式中!骑行很慢,很无聊,只有两次小跑或慢跑的机会,绝对不是经验丰富的骑手会喜欢的骑行类型。有些地形对马匹来说非常具有挑战性,包括一段很长的爬山路。由于我花了几乎一整天的时间才到达这里,所以我非常失望。
不幸的是,我的一个朋友在这次骑行中摔倒了,贾斯汀看起来很生气而不是担心,并没有下马去帮忙。他唯一的另一名工作人员在骑行中提供了帮助。
这次经历中唯一积极的一点是帮助我们骑上马的年轻女孩 Chantelle,她很可爱,非常乐于助人。我不会再来了。
