点评:The staff was friendly, which I appreciated. However, the trail itself is quite narrow, and even though we were told these were gentle horses, they frequently led us directly into tree branches and thorny pine trees.
About five minutes into the ride, my 11-year-old was steered into a tree branch. Shortly after, my own horse walked me straight into a large pine tree branch that nearly knocked me off. These weren’t small bushes—these were full branches. Even when I tried to guide the horse away, it continued pushing through the trees.
When I brought it up, the trainer mentioned that the horses are “like big kids” and will do as they please. That response didn’t provide much reassurance, especially with children involved.
We ended what was supposed to be an hour-long ride after just 20 minutes because the experience felt unsafe and anxiety-inducing. I’m sharing this so other parents are aware—this didn’t feel like an isolated issue, and I would strongly suggest using caution when considering this activity with kids.
翻译:工作人员很友好,这一点我很欣赏。不过,路线本身相当狭窄,虽然我们事先被告知那些马都很温顺,但它们还是频繁地把我们带向树枝和带刺的松树。
骑行大约五分钟后,我11岁的孩子骑的马撞上了树枝。没过多久,我骑的马也径直走向一根粗大的松树枝,差点把我甩下来。那些可不是什么小灌木丛,而是粗壮的树枝。即便我试图引导马儿避开,也无济于事。它继续穿过树林前进。
当我把这个问题提出来时,驯马师说这些马“就像大孩子一样”,会随心所欲地行动。这样的回答并没能让我安心多少,尤其是考虑到还有孩子在场。
原本计划进行一小时的骑马活动,但由于整个过程让人感到不安全且充满焦虑,我们仅在20分钟后就结束了。我分享这段经历是想让其他家长有所警觉——这似乎并非个例。我强烈建议,在考虑带孩子进行这项活动时务必谨慎。
