点评:My Husband and I had 24 hours in the area and as I absolutely love animals, I dragged his poor, long suffering self to meet some lovely Dexter cows and the smallest breed of sheep in the world.
John was great - very friendly and approachable and went over all health and safety with us before meeting the cows. There was no pressure to go into their field if you didn't want to - however everyone in the group decided they wanted to.
We got to feed them, brush them and yes, cuddle them. They're mini in cow standard, but still have a lot of "junk in their trunk" so you'd do well to remember Johns wise words of now getting caught in a cow sandwich or allowing them to stand on your feet.
Whenever choosing an experience with animals, I'm always concerned as to whether they're being exploited for money. Thankfully this is 100% not the case with any of the animals - the cows were really happy to see us and stay with us - if they didn't want to be near us, they had a whole field to walk away - they weren't forced to do anything and looked in incredible condition.
Sheep trekking with Natalie was also absolutely brilliant. We had a lovely, non rushed time and poor Natalie was asked as many sheep questions as poor John was asked cow questions - she answered every single one and it's obvious that the sheep love walking - you didn't have to pull them, encourage them, they just happily had lead put on them and wandered around with us.
John and Natalie obviously have a love and respect for all their animals. We had a wonderful time and would recommend the experiences to anyone.
翻译:我和丈夫在该地区呆了 24 小时,因为我非常喜欢动物,所以我拖着他那可怜的、长期受苦的身躯去见了一些可爱的德克斯特奶牛和世界上最小的绵羊品种。
约翰很棒——非常友好、平易近人,在见到奶牛之前,他向我们介绍了所有的健康和安全问题。如果你不想进去,也没有人强迫你进去——然而,团队中的每个人都决定要进去。
我们给它们喂食、梳理它们,当然,还要拥抱它们。它们在奶牛的标准中是迷你的,但仍然有很多“鼻子里的垃圾”,所以你最好记住约翰的明智之言,不要被夹在牛三明治里,也不要让它们站在你的脚上。
每当选择与动物相处的经历时,我总是担心它们是否会被剥削来赚钱。值得庆幸的是,这些动物绝对不会这样 - 奶牛们真的很高兴见到我们并和我们呆在一起 - 如果它们不想靠近我们,它们可以走开一整片田地 - 它们没有被迫做任何事情,而且看起来状态非常好。
和 Natalie 一起遛羊也非常棒。我们度过了一段愉快而轻松的时光,可怜的 Natalie 被问到的羊问题和可怜的 John 被问到的牛问题一样多 - 她回答了每一个问题,很明显,羊喜欢散步 - 你不必拉它们,也不必鼓励它们,它们只是高兴地被拴在它们身上,和我们一起四处游荡。
John 和 Natalie 显然对他们所有的动物都充满爱和尊重。我们度过了一段美好的时光,并会向任何人推荐这种体验。
