点评:We had a miscommunication about our booking but once the riding company realized we were at the stable, they called immediately and came out to ride. Begga was genuinely nice and apologetic on arrival. Unfortunately this meant standing in the rain for a half hour prior to the ride, which put us a bit out of sorts. This quickly changed!
First of all, Begga is a true horsewoman and taught us so much about the Icelandic horse especially the Tolt gait that these horses are known for. Begga gave us a thorough lesson before we even sat the horse. We learned about equine communication and the unique gait of this breed.
When I got on my mount, Twister, I was a little intimidated as I hadn’t ridden in a year and the rein management was different than my last ride. However, Begga and her husband have good instruction and off we went.
Secondly, the rainy weather cleared, and we set out over the lava fields on the lovely horse trails. The scenery was unique and impressive, the horses were sweet and compliant. Most remarkably we sat the Tolt almost the entire ride. It’s a very comfortable gait and we learned an entire new way to ride.
Finally, as we Tolted along, the sun came out and a full rainbow spread over our group.
What a day! What a ride!
翻译:我们在预订时沟通不畅,但当骑马公司意识到我们在马厩时,他们立即打电话并出来骑马。贝加(Begga)在抵达时真的很友善并且表示歉意。不幸的是,这意味着在骑行前要在雨中站立半小时,这让我们有点不舒服。这很快就改变了!
首先,贝加是一位真正的骑手,她教会了我们很多关于冰岛马的知识,尤其是这些马闻名的托尔特步态。在我们骑马之前,贝加就给我们上了彻底的一课。我们了解了马的交流和该品种独特的步态。
当我骑上我的坐骑 Twister 时,我有点害怕,因为我已经一年没有骑了,而且缰绳的管理与我上次骑的不同。然而,贝加和她的丈夫得到了很好的指导,我们就出发了。
其次,雨天晴了,我们在熔岩原上美丽的马道上出发。风景独特,令人印象深刻,马匹温顺而温顺。最值得注意的是,我们几乎整个旅程都坐在Tolt上。这是一种非常舒适的步态,我们学会了一种全新的骑行方式。
最后,当我们一路前行时,太阳出来了,一道完整的彩虹铺满了我们的队伍。
多么美好的一天啊!多么美妙的旅程啊!
