For starters i want it to be clear that im doing this review simply from an observant point of view of someone who’s ridden horses for 8 years in various horse disciplines. And dont get me wrong, I’m no master rider but the way they treat their horses here simply disgusted me.
To start id like to paint you the picture. In december, i booked a ride at this place in hopes it would be a fun experience for my two accompanying friends who’d never gone on a trail ride before. However it quickly became very clear to me they didnt have a hand on managing their horses around. We were a large group, 7 people and a single instructor, who may i add, didnt take a ridding hat. After i got on i was immediately given a wip for the horse i was ridding, no questions asked. We then were first led to the ridding arena where we got in line and prepared for the trail ride, and then followed the instructor out. There were very few explanations given keeping in mind at least 4 of the people were inexperienced, only told us to give the horses some wiping if they didnt walk or lowered their heads to eat/ stopped. After a while, me and two younger girls who were also give the “green light” to canter our horses, simply by being asked if we had experience, went on forward and try to canter a bit. Immediately i realised that the wip i was holding and didnt even try to use at all, was scaring the horse so much she was running to the opposite side of where i was holding it, not allowing me to canter or even trot forward (maybe from being wiped so many times before). I reached out to the instructor and gave him the wip, and she did settle after that. We went back and forward with cantering for a little and joining back on the group after. However at some point when we were cantering back to the group, the mare i was ridding started to bolt and that scared the horse in front of mine who ended up bucking the young rider off. The instructor came to the girl as soon as he saw it and dismounted to check on her. I immediately offered to dismount and help hold any of the 2 loose horses, and he told me to grab onto the one he was ridding otherwise she’d leave and be “uncatchable”. The girl ended up un-injured but disoriented, however she got back on her horse later on with the instructor leading her by foot cuz his mare and the one i was holding started to quarrel and broke from my hold.
He ended up shooing the loose mare away claiming she’d go back by herself, however kept on calling her names and treatening to send her off to slaughter if she wasnt of use or didnt behave again. We got back (somehwhat) safely after all of that and the loose horse did make it back too, but the lack of professionalism absolutely astonished and utterly disappointing at the people responsible for this place.
TLDR: Lack of professionalism and responsibility to the extreme. Some horses show apparent signs of being wiped regularly so much so that they’re scared of it. The ride was a total 1h 10mins when sold as 1h 30mins and didnt even pass by the sand or dunes as they’re not allowed anymore. Overall, not worth the 40€ per person, the atmosphere was awful. The one thing i can say was at least decent was the view and the weather, hence the 1 star, cuz otherwise if i could id give a 0 star review. Never coming back here.

首先,我想澄清的是,我只是从一个在各种马术领域骑了 8 年马的人的观察角度来做这篇评论。别误会我的意思,我不是骑手大师,但他们对待马匹的方式让我感到恶心。
首先我想给你画一幅图画。十二月,我在这个地方预订了一次骑行,希望这对我的两个同行朋友来说是一次有趣的体验,他们以前从未参加过越野骑行。然而,我很快就清楚地意识到,他们没有能力管理他们的马匹。我们是一大群人,有 7 个人,只有一位教练,我可以补充一下,他没有戴帽子。当我上车后,我立即得到了我正在骑的马的擦拭,没有问任何问题。然后我们首先被带到骑马场,在那里排队并准备越野骑行,然后跟随教练出去。考虑到至少有四个人没有经验,几乎没有给出任何解释,只告诉我们如果马不走或低头吃/停下来给马擦擦。过了一会儿,我和两个年轻的女孩也给我们的马慢跑开了“绿灯”,只是被问到我们是否有经验,就继续前进并尝试慢跑一下。我立即意识到我拿着的wip甚至根本没有尝试使用,把马吓坏了,她跑到我拿着它的另一侧,不允许我慢跑甚至向前小跑(也许是从之前被擦过很多次了)。我联系了教练并给了他wip,之后她确实安定下来了。我们来回慢跑了一会儿,然后又回到了队伍中。然而,当我们慢跑回队伍时,我骑的母马开始狂奔,这吓坏了我前面的马,最终把年轻的骑手撞倒了。指导员见状,立即下马查看。我立即提出要下马并帮助抓住两匹松散的马中的任何一匹,他告诉我抓住他正在骑的一匹,否则她就会离开并“抓不到”。女孩最终没有受伤,但迷失了方向,但后来她又回到了马背上,教练用脚牵着她,因为他的母马和我抱着的那匹马开始争吵并挣脱了我的控制。
他最终把那匹松散的母马赶走了,声称她会自己回去,但他不断地喊着她的名字,如果她没有用处或不再表现得好,他就会把她送去屠宰。在这一切之后,我们(某种程度上)安全地回来了,那匹脱缰的马也确实回来了,但缺乏专业精神绝对让负责这个地方的人感到惊讶和彻底失望。
TLDR:极度缺乏专业精神和责任感。有些马表现出明显的经常被擦拭的迹象,以至于它们害怕它。当以 1 小时 30 分钟出售时,骑行总共需要 1 小时 10 分钟,甚至没有经过沙子或沙丘,因为它们不再被允许了。总的来说,不值得每人40欧元,气氛很糟糕。我能说的一件事至少是体面的是景色和天气,因此是 1 星,因为否则如果我可以给出 0 星评论。永远不会回到这里。
