点评:Myself and my partner had a wonderful midday visit to the farm (we visited as we were on holiday and I love animals). I’ve read some reviews and I’m honestly surprised people are saying they only saw a few horses, we saw 12 horses (6 inside the barn) and spent 2 hours here. We fed the horses and the goats.
The staff were friendly and informative. I saw one review saying the pigs skin looked bad, but the lady explained that the pig whose skin was sore was due to an allergy to straw they were sorting. You could tell how much they love the animals.
I also saw reviews saying you needed binoculars to see the horses in the fields... All the horses outside we saw were far away too when we first got to the 3 separate fields, but just take a minute or two calling them over (clicking tongue etc) and speak to them in a kind and happy voice. I guarantee you’ll have a better chance of them coming over to say hi/have some food too.
Animals pick up on the way we feel and I honestly believe if you go feeling happy and open minded you’ll have a lovely couple of hours. Plus the heavy horses need all the support in order to stop the decline and help their survival, I don’t think £7.50 is a bad price for that.
We fell in love with Scott (32 years young) in the far field who was loving the attention and fuss even after we ran out of food. I would honestly visit again, even all the way from Derby.
翻译:我和伴侣在中午参观了农场,度过了一个美好的时光(我们去的时候正好在度假,而且我很喜欢动物)。我看过一些评论,说实话,我很惊讶人们说他们只看到了几匹马,而我们却看到了12匹马(其中6匹在马厩里),并且在这里待了两个小时。我们喂了马和山羊。
工作人员很友好,也很乐于助人。我看到一条评论说猪的皮肤看起来很糟糕,但那位女士解释说,那只皮肤疼痛的猪是因为他们正在分拣稻草过敏。由此可见,他们有多爱这些动物。
我还看到一些评论说,需要用双筒望远镜才能看到田野里的马……我们刚到三个独立的田野时,看到的所有外面的马都离得很远,但只要花一两分钟把它们叫过来(比如说咂舌之类的),用亲切快乐的声音和它们说话。我保证,它们过来打招呼/吃东西的几率会更大。
动物们能体会我们的感受,我真心相信,如果你心情愉快、心胸开阔地去的话,你一定会度过一段美好的时光。而且,这些体型庞大的马匹需要各种支持才能阻止它们的数量下降,帮助它们生存下去,我觉得7.50英镑的价格还算合理。
我们爱上了远处田野里的斯科特(32岁),即使我们吃饱了,他仍然喜欢我们关注和照顾。说实话,我还会再来,哪怕是从德比一路过来。
