点评:We booked a half day riding session with Galope Austral and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
I’ve done many different trail rides over the years and have often been left feeling disappointed… riding in a strict line, on an unresponsive horse, staring at the horse in front of you for the entire ride because you’re not allowed to break position. It makes you realise how little you actually learn on your typical horse riding trails. Galope Austral was a completely different experience in the best possible way.
Our hosts, Charlotte and Enrique were warm, engaging and genuinely two wonderful people. They were incredibly attentive throughout the ride. They would check our riding and make sure both we, and the horses were safe and comfortable. They gave thoughtful guidance on things like how we were holding the reins and how to adjust our position when riding up or down hills. As a result, we actually learnt and improved our (limited) horse riding skills through out the journey.
The horses were beautifully trained, patient and clearly very well cared for. You could tell the horses welfare was a genuine priority.
And then there were the views…
Patagonia in itself is like stepping into a painting. But experiencing those landscapes from horseback, with the sun on your face, crossing streams, breathing the fresh air and while being immersed in the scenery… it was easily one of our favourite days in Patagonia.
If you have a day available and are looking to do something different from hiking while still being in nature, I would highly recommend booking with Galope Austral. Charlotte and Enrique provide a personalised, professional and a genuine Patagonian horse riding experience.
An unforgettable day and one of our favourite experiences while being in Patagonia!
翻译:我们预订了Galope Austral提供的半天骑马体验,结果体验棒极了,超乎预期。
这些年来我参加过许多不同的越野骑马活动,但常常感到失望……骑马时必须排成整齐的队列,马儿也完全不听使唤;由于不许打乱队形,整个行程中只能盯着前面的马看。这样的经历让我意识到:在一般的骑马活动中,我们实际上学到的东西少之又少。Galope Austral给我们带来了一次截然不同的体验——而且是以最美好的方式。
我们的向导夏洛特和恩里克热情友善、平易近人,确实是两个非常棒的人。在整个骑行过程中,他们都极其细心周到。他们会检查我们的骑姿,确保我们和马匹都安全舒适。对于诸如如何握缰绳,以及在上坡或下坡时该如何调整姿势等问题,他们也给出了细致入微的指导。正因如此……实际上,在整个旅程中我们不断学习并提升了自己(原本就有限的)骑马技能。
这些马匹训练有素、极有耐心,显然也得到了精心的照料。从各方面都能看出,马匹的福祉确实是被放在首位的。
还有那些绝美的风景……
巴塔哥尼亚本身就像是一幅画卷。而当你骑马穿行其中,阳光洒在脸上,越过潺潺溪流时,那种体验更是无与伦比。呼吸着清新的空气,沉浸在优美的自然景色中……这绝对是我们在巴塔哥尼亚最喜欢的日子之一。
如果你有一天空闲时间,又想体验一些与徒步不同的活动,同时还能亲近大自然,我强烈推荐你预订Galope Austral的服务。Charlotte和Enrique能为你带来个性化、专业且充满巴塔哥尼亚特色的骑马体验。
这是难忘的一天,也是我们在巴塔哥尼亚最喜欢的体验之一!
