点评:This is a fantastic outfit. The people, the horses, and then the countryside and location. The food, the company, I could wax lyrical for days. I had the time of my life, along with a family group from South Australia (three generations of horse girls, riding together: beautiful) and two young women from QLD, and me a solo rider who’d decided to still go when my own daughter was unable to come.
Everyone was warm and welcoming. Shelly the owner (and Paul her husband) put their horses first, and the trail leaders also have the horses’ well-being front of mind, along with the safety of riders.
We were all well-matched to our horse. Everyone had some experience, but the staff are very supportive and keep a close eye on everyone to make sure they are enjoying. The horses are great, I fell in love with my mare a solid and foot-sure Quarter horse with the sweetest nature but also some go in her for the runs. I loved how we were able to spend time with the horses, brushing, helping get them ready and post-ride care. I literally wept saying goodbye and on the third day had a real moment thinking: this is what I need more of in my life.
The landscape is STUNNING and varied. The accommodation basic but totally adequate. The three-day ride we didn’t camp out but returned to ‘base’ to sleep. The meals are good — hearty and plentiful with cooked bacon and eggs each morning and a roast one night. Blazing fires both inside and out to keep you warm.
The thing I remember is the peace, the joy, the laughter. I wasn’t back in Melbourne before I was plotting my return, and messaging all my horse girlfriends about the experience.
A+ experience
Thanks Shelly, Paul and the team especially Molly, Lisa and Ryan
翻译:这是一家很棒的公司。人、马、乡村和地点。食物、陪伴,我可以连续几天抒发我的情感。我度过了一生中最美好的时光,与我一起的还有来自南澳大利亚的一个家庭团体(三代骑马女孩一起骑马:很美)和两位来自昆士兰州的年轻女性,还有我这个决定在我女儿无法前来时继续前行的单独骑手。
每个人都很热情好客。主人 Shelly(和她的丈夫 Paul)把马放在第一位,领队也把马匹的健康和骑手的安全放在首位。
我们都和我们的马很相配。每个人都有一些经验,但工作人员非常支持,密切关注每个人,确保他们玩得开心。马很棒,我爱上了我的母马,它是一匹结实、步履稳健的四分之一英里赛马,性情非常温顺,但也有一些人喜欢它跑步。我喜欢我们能花时间和马在一起,给它们刷毛,帮助它们做好准备,以及骑行后的护理。我真的哭着说再见,第三天我突然想到:这就是我生命中需要更多的东西。
风景令人惊叹,多种多样。住宿条件简单但完全够用。三天的骑行我们没有露营,而是回到“基地”睡觉。饭菜很好——丰盛丰盛,每天早上都有煮熟的培根和鸡蛋,晚上还有烤肉。室内室外都有熊熊的火,让你感到温暖。
我记得的是平静、快乐和欢笑。我还没回到墨尔本,我就计划着回来,并给我所有的马女朋友们发信息,告诉他们这次经历。
A+ 体验
感谢 Shelly、Paul 和团队,尤其是 Molly、Lisa 和 Ryan
