点评:I've ridden four or five times with Highlands Unbridled and returned in January for a week's working holiday on their yard in Royal Deeside, which - thanks both to the stunning snowy weather and to Dominique's leadership - turned out to be a real trip of a lifetime. As a working holiday, we got a great balance of tasks around the yard (mucking out, feeding and watering the horses and so on) with rides in the local area. It was a brilliant opportunity to spend more hands-on time on horse care and hands-on tasks, which I really appreciated as I don't often get to do this at my local yard - highly recommend for anyone in a similar situation! I mainly rode Brodie with one ride on Catkin, and as always the horses were just lovely - well cared for and pretty much bombproof.
I was lucky enough to visit during a bout of snowy, cold weather, and Dominique did an amazing job ensuring our safety on the paths (navigating icy roads and drifts sometimes up to the horses bellies!) while making sure we had plenty of opportunities to canter where it was safe to do so and to generally enjoy the winter wonderland. I was quite unsure of myself as I'd never ridden in these conditions, so I particularly appreciated her patience! Accommodation was in the cottage on Murley Steading, sharing a room with another (lovely and friendly) rider.
I can't recommend Highlands Unbridled enough - Dominique is a skillful and knowledgable guide who cares deeply about the horses, and every trip I've taken with them has improved my riding and given me the chance to see another beautiful corner of Scotland. Highly recommend!
翻译:我曾四五次与 Highlands Unbridled 一起骑马,并于一月份回到皇家迪赛德的马场,在那里度过了一个星期的工作假期。由于天气晴朗,多米尼克的领导,这次旅行成为了我一生难忘的旅程。作为工作假期,我们在马场周围(清理马粪、喂马、给马饮水等)的工作和当地骑马之间取得了很好的平衡。这是一个绝佳的机会,可以花更多的时间亲自照顾马匹,亲自完成工作,我非常感激,因为我在当地的马场很少有机会这样做——强烈推荐给任何处于类似情况的人!我主要骑的是 Brodie,还有一次骑的是 Catkin,和往常一样,马匹非常可爱——照顾得很好,几乎坚不可摧。
我很幸运,在寒冷多雪的天气里来到这里,Dominique 出色地确保了我们在路上的安全(有时在结冰的道路上和积雪中穿行!),同时确保我们有足够的机会在安全的地方慢跑,并享受冬季仙境。我对自己很没有信心,因为我从来没有在这种情况下骑过马,所以我特别感谢她的耐心!住宿是在 Murley Steading 的小屋里,和另一个(可爱又友好的)骑手共用一个房间。
我强烈推荐 Highlands Unbridled - Dominique 是一位技术娴熟、知识渊博的导游,非常关心马匹,我和他们一起进行的每一次旅行都提高了我的骑术,让我有机会看到苏格兰另一个美丽的角落。强烈推荐!
