点评:Great ride with Lava Horses. The route to the farm is well signed and it was easy to find. Our guide (I'm bad with names, but it was the young woman originally from Germany) greeted us, made us feel welcome and asked about our experience level so that she could match us with the right horses.
The scenery is incredible and the route takes you through a number of different landscapes (fields with sheep and cattle, distant mountains, birch forest, lava fields, etc.) It has to be one of the most scenic places on earth. We got a chance to make a couple of fairly steep climbs/descents and got the horses up to a Tolt (a gait unique to Icelandic horses) on many occasions. We didn't just get in a line and walk along a dusty path. There was some excitement to it - even a river crossing.
The tour was advertised to be two hours long, but we were on the route for almost 2 1/2 hours. Our guide was wonderful. She shared her knowledge of the area in an entertaining way and paid attention to make sure no one in our group was having difficulties with our horses. I also need to give a shout out to my horse Galsi. He was energetic, eager to run and liked to rub his head against me for attention when I wasn't on his back :) I have been on five trail rides and this is, by far, the best. If we ever make our way back to Husavik, I promise we take another ride with them.
翻译:和Lava Horses一起的骑行体验棒极了。前往牧场的路线指示清晰,很容易找到。我们的向导(我记不住名字,不过是那位来自德国的年轻女子)热情地迎接了我们,让我们倍感亲切,她还询问了我们的骑术水平,以便为我们挑选合适的马匹。
沿途的风景美不胜收,路线会带你穿越多种不同的地貌——有牛羊栖息的田野、远处的群山、白桦林以及熔岩地带等等。这里绝对是地球上风景最优美的地方之一。我们经历了几次相当陡峭的上坡与下坡,还多次让马儿展现出托尔特步(冰岛马特有的步态)。我们并非只是排成队列沿着尘土飞扬的小路行走而已,过程中还充满了刺激与乐趣——甚至还有涉水过河的环节。
原本宣传的游览时长为两小时,但实际上我们在路上走了近两个半小时。我们的向导非常出色。她以生动有趣的方式向我们介绍了这一地区的相关知识,还时刻留意着,确保我们团队中没有人在使用马匹时遇到困难。我还要特别提一下我的马儿加尔西——它精力充沛、渴望奔跑,每当我没骑在它背上时,它总喜欢用头蹭我以博取注意呢 :) 我总共参加过五次骑马游览,而这次绝对是最棒的一次。如果我们将来再次造访赫萨维克,我保证一定会再和他们一起骑马。
