点评:I’ve been coming to ARA for over a decade now. This last weekend would’ve been my fourth visit. I stumbled upon them while taking a class at New Mexico Tech and loved it so much that I have since brought back my husband, a friend, and recently my daughter.
Dacodah, Jill, and the whole crew at ARA make you feel at home. Like you’re family. The horses are top-notch and amazingly surefooted and confident, even when the rider is not. The staff are wonderfully kind and knowledgeable and patiently teach everything from horsemanship to knot tying.
This is far from a boring nose to tail trail ride. As experienced riders it can be challenging to find a place that allows you to go faster than a walk. This past weekend we probably went the fastest we ever have gone on horses… Full gallop on Arabians is amazing! Over the course of three days we did five separate rides! Beyond the flat out gallops we also had lots of challenging canters on varied terrain, splashed in the river, night rides, plus technical climbs and descents in the canyon and were rewarded with beautiful vistas. They truly have something for everyone…from someone who has never been on a horse before to the experienced rider. You will have the time of your life at ARA. We flew all the way out from Florida just to come ride here for the weekend. Another amazing experience. Thank you Jill and Dacodah!
翻译:我来ARA已经十多年了。上周末本来是我第四次来。当初我在新墨西哥理工学院上课的时候偶然发现了这里,一下子就爱上了这里,之后我又带了我的丈夫、朋友,最近还带了我的女儿来。
Dacodah、Jill和ARA的全体员工都让你感觉像在家里一样,就像家人一样。这里的马匹品质一流,步伐稳健自信,即使骑手不太自信,它们也毫不怯场。工作人员热情友好,知识渊博,耐心细致地教授从骑术到绳结打法等各种知识。
这可不是那种枯燥乏味的单程骑行。对于经验丰富的骑手来说,找到一个可以骑得比步行快的地方并不容易。上周末,我们骑马的速度可能是我们有史以来最快的……骑着阿拉伯马全速奔跑的感觉真是太棒了!三天之内,我们一共骑了五次!除了酣畅淋漓的驰骋,我们还体验了许多在各种地形上充满挑战的慢跑,在河里嬉戏,享受夜骑,以及峡谷中技术性十足的攀爬和下坡,最终饱览了壮丽的景色。这里真正做到了老少咸宜……无论你是骑马新手还是经验丰富的骑手,都能找到适合自己的项目。在ARA,你一定会度过一段难忘的时光。我们特地从佛罗里达飞过来,就是为了在这里度过一个周末的骑马之旅。又是一次令人难忘的体验。谢谢Jill和Dacodah!
