点评:My daughter and I did the Winter Trail Ride, guided by Kiara. Weather in the Sierras can be unpredictable any time of year, but especially during Winter. Surprisingly, while there was snow on the ground in most places, it wasn't several feet deep; there were areas of bare ground. But it was scenic, as always. The mountaintops in the distance were all snow-covered. I think the only season in which we haven't visited and ridden is the autumn; that's supposed to be spectacular, but I can vouch that Winter, early Spring and early Summer are prime time too.
We'd met Kiara briefly on a previous visit, but had never ridden with her. She knew the area extremely well and has a lot of interesting stories to tell about her time spent there. Her knowledge of all things equestrian is encyclopedic: you and the horses will be in good hands with her as your guide. My teen daughter isn't the most verbose person, but Kiara was able to draw her out and made her feel comfortable. It was another very nice visit to Piping Rock; we will be back. Thanks Kiara and Lisa.
翻译:我和女儿参加了 Kiara 的冬季骑行。内华达山脉的天气一年四季都变幻莫测,尤其是在冬季。令人惊讶的是,虽然大多数地方的地面上都有积雪,但积雪厚度不到几英尺;有些地方是裸露的地面。但风景一如既往地优美。远处的山顶全被白雪覆盖。我想我们唯一没有去过和骑过马的季节是秋天;秋天应该很美,但我可以保证冬季、初春和初夏也是黄金时间。
我们在之前的一次访问中曾与 Kiara 短暂见过面,但从未和她一起骑过马。她非常了解这个地区,有很多关于她在那里度过的时光的有趣故事可以讲。她对所有马术知识的了解是百科全书式的:有她做你的向导,你和马都会得到很好的照顾。我十几岁的女儿不是最健谈的人,但 Kiara 能够引导她说话,让她感到舒服。这是又一次非常愉快的 Piping Rock 之旅;我们会再来的。谢谢 Kiara 和 Lisa。
