点评:This was our fourth time horseback riding in France. It stood out for a number of positive reasons. We chose the three hour “balade baignade à Santa Ghjulia.”
Clear instructions are provided before arriving regarding what to bring and what the experience will look like. The staff are very responsive by email and phone.
The day of, the staff struck a good balance of providing enough instruction and guidance, and also just letting the riders get a feel for the experience on their own.
Staff were watching all of the horses carefully to monitor their behavior and to assist with advice on how to handle them, and if needed, to call out to the horses directly if they were not following directions. (They clearly have a relationship with each horse, because the horses listen to them even at a distance.)
But all of the horses were very gentle and docile. We never felt unsafe on them at any point. The trail is a rocky, narrow one through a forest though, with some ups and downs, so it does require some basic strength and stability to stay balanced on the horse. (Bring closed toe shoes and long pants over your swim trunks, to avoid scratches from tree branches and boulders.)
What also differentiated this from other riding experiences was the beach/water portion. Magical. It is a different challenge to ride without a saddle, but also allows for an amazing sense of companionship with the animal.
Sarah was our guide, and was wonderful in her approachability, attentiveness, and her care in assisting each and every person every step of the way. She provided clear explanations in French and English.
We will absolutely be back next time we visit the area.

在抵达之前,我们会提供有关携带物品和体验的明确说明。工作人员通过电子邮件和电话非常敏感。
当天,工作人员在提供足够的指导和指导的同时,也让骑手自己感受体验,取得了很好的平衡。
工作人员正在仔细观察所有的马匹,以监控它们的行为,并协助提供如何处理它们的建议,如果需要,如果马匹不遵循指示,则可以直接呼叫它们。 (它们显然与每匹马都有关系,因为即使在远处,马也会听它们的声音。)
但所有的马都非常温顺、温顺。我们在任何时候都从未对它们感到不安全。这条小路是一条穿过森林的岩石狭窄小路,有一些起伏,所以它确实需要一些基本的力量和稳定性才能在马上保持平衡。 (在泳裤外面穿上不露趾的鞋子和长裤,以免被树枝和巨石刮伤。)
与其他骑行体验的区别还在于海滩/水域部分。神奇。没有马鞍的骑行是一个不同的挑战,但也能带来与动物的奇妙陪伴感。
莎拉是我们的导游,她平易近人、细心,并且在每一步都为每个人提供帮助,她的关怀非常出色。她用法语和英语提供了清晰的解释。
下次我们访问该地区时我们绝对会回来。
