点评:I love Eldhestar. This is my second time riding with them. In 2022 I did Mountains and Meadows with a friend who was a beginner, and I was a nervous low intermediate (but it was amazing). This time I chose 3B Soft Riverbanks with my 16 year old daughter. We are strong intermediate riders who ride weekly in an arena, but don’t have much experience hacking. This was a great way to start! We rode a lot of tolt and quite a bit of canter as well. The horses were fantastic- quick and responsive to our cues, while remaining strong and steady. If you are not a regular rider and comfortable at all gaits, this isn’t the ride for you (go for Mountains and Meadows). But if you’re like us, riding regularly in lessons and looking to get experience outdoors, it’s perfect. Our guide was also a great teacher and she corrected my leg position (back!), which helped my horse be more comfortable and responsive. Once I understood how the Icelandic seat felt, it became natural and the tolt was like the wind. I am happy because I not only enjoyed the ride and scenery, but I improved my own riding as well.
翻译:我爱Eldhestar。这是我第二次和他们一起骑马。2022年,我和一位初学者朋友一起参加了山地草地骑马赛,当时我处于中级水平,有点紧张(但感觉很棒)。这次我和16岁的女儿选择了3B Soft Riverbanks。我们是实力雄厚的中级骑手,每周都会在竞技场骑马,但骑马经验不多。这是一个很好的开始!我们练习了很多托特(tolt)和慢跑(canter)。马儿们非常棒——速度很快,对我们的提示反应灵敏,同时保持着强壮和稳健。如果你不是经常骑马的人,并且对所有步态都很适应,那么这不适合你(选择山地草地骑马赛)。但如果你像我们一样,经常上课,并希望积累户外经验,那么这里非常适合你。我们的向导也是一位很棒的老师,她纠正了我的腿部姿势(向后!),这让我的马儿感觉更舒服,反应也更灵敏。了解了冰岛座垫的感受后,一切都变得自然流畅,骑行感觉就像风一样。我很高兴,因为我不仅享受了骑行和风景,还提升了自己的骑行水平。
