1.5hr Beach, Rice Fields and Village Ride Review
Kuda P Stables的点评
点评：Pros:
- Service was friendly and efficient (free hotel transfers, welcoming guides and drinks/snacks afterwards)
- Horses were in reasonable body condition
- Horses were well shod on front feet and all hoofs looked to be in good condition
Cons
- Very little control over pace on the beach
- Horses appeared to have rainscald (it has been very hot and wet in Bali for the last month)
- Horses seemed uncomfortable with their gear (tongues consistently hanging out) and quite stiff
Our experience:
Hubby (riding weekly for one year) and I (riding for 20 years) went for a ride this morning and had an okay experience. There was a sign at reception which stated no galloping, controlled trot or canter only which seemed very reasonable to me. We popped our gear in a locker, were given helmets and went out to meet the horses.
It was evident to me that both horses were suffering from some rain scald and both had some redness to the skin, some areas with hair missing and my horse had rubbed out a fair bit of his mane. Poor itchy ponies! Bali has been hot and very rainy of late so there is a smidgen of understanding there, but I couldn’t see that there was any treatment given for this before or after our ride.
Regardless, we started off and it was clear to me that my horse was uncomfortable with his bit (tongue sticking out constantly) however he was quite responsive to my gentle guidance to move over (off the leg and gentle rein aides). As others have mentioned, much of the ride is along roads on the way to the beach and was at a walk. During this time I felt a general sense of stiffness in my horse and we had a few minor slips along the hard road.
Once at the beach my guide asked for my phone to take photos and he held onto it for the rest of the beach time. We walked to the end of the beach, at which point we were asked if we would like to ‘run’ and were told this would be one at a time. Given the sign mentioned earlier, I thought this would be a controlled trot or canter.
The guide suggested I follow him and took off at a speedy canter, filming the whole time and this quickly escalated into a gallop. I was asking my horse to ease up a bit however it was clear he was trained to use the guides horse as a measure of speed. Having been on rides in South Asia before, this behaviour didn’t really surprise me and with my riding experience I didn’t have any problems riding at this pace. That said, I imagine the lack of communication about the speed, and just jumping straight into it would take many other riders by surprise. There are also a lot of stones, river mouths and rubbish to navigate on the beach so that added to my slight concern. When I whipped my head around I saw that hubby was actually right behind us and was thankfully managing his incredibly speedy ride (thank goodness for the lessons he’s been having!). He was a bit shocked by the pace but proud to have stayed on.
The rest of the ride was much the same, walking back to the end of the beach and then hooning along at a fairly uncontrollable rate. I suggested we just trot or slow canter down the beach, however this didn’t seem to be acknowledged. The ride back to the stables was mostly uneventful, and once back at the stables we were sat down with cold towels and refreshments.
Overall a good experience with some general concerns for the horses mental and physical welfare and the evident lack of control/training when on the beach.

翻译：优点：
- 服务友好高效（免费酒店接送、热情的导游和随后的饮料/小吃）
- 马匹的身体状况良好
- 马匹的前蹄钉得很好，所有蹄子看起来都状况良好
缺点
- 在海滩上几乎无法控制速度
- 马匹似乎患有雨水烫伤（过去一个月巴厘岛非常炎热潮湿）
- 马匹似乎对装备感到不舒服（舌头一直伸出来）并且相当僵硬
我们的体验：
我和老公（每周骑马一年）今天早上骑马，体验还不错。接待处有一个标志，上面写着禁止疾驰，只能控制小跑或慢跑，这对我来说似乎非常合理。我们将装备放入储物柜，戴上头盔，出去见马。
我发现两匹马都遭受了雨烫伤，皮肤有些发红，有些地方毛发脱落，我的马鬃毛也脱落了不少。可怜的小马！巴厘岛最近天气炎热，雨水很多，所以大家对此还是能理解的，但我看不出在骑马之前或之后是否有任何治疗。
不管怎样，我们出发了，我很清楚我的马对衔铁感到不舒服（舌头一直伸出来），但它对我温和的引导反应灵敏，让我挪动了一下（离开腿和温和的缰绳辅助）。正如其他人提到的，大部分骑行都是沿着通往海滩的道路进行，而且是散步。在这段时间里，我感觉我的马很僵硬，我们在坚硬的道路上滑倒了几次。
到达海滩后，我的导游要我的手机拍照，在海滩的剩余时间里，他一直拿着手机。我们走到海滩尽头，这时有人问我们是否想“跑步”，并告诉我们一次只能跑一匹马。根据前面提到的标志，我认为这会是受控的小跑或慢跑。
导游建议我跟着他，然后开始快速慢跑，全程拍摄，很快升级为疾驰。我要求我的马放慢一点速度，但很明显，它受过训练，会用导游的马来衡量速度。我以前在南亚骑过马，这种行为并没有让我感到惊讶，凭借我的骑马经验，我以这种速度骑行没有任何问题。话虽如此，我想缺乏关于速度的沟通，直接跳进去会让其他许多骑手措手不及。海滩上还有很多石头、河口和垃圾需要穿越，这让我有点担心。当我转过头时，我看到老公实际上就在我们身后，幸好他能控制住他那令人难以置信的快速骑行（感谢上帝让他学到了很多东西！）。他对速度有点震惊，但很自豪自己能坚持下来。
剩下的骑行路程大致相同，走回海滩尽头，然后以相当难以控制的速度向前疾驰。我建议我们沿着海滩慢跑或慢跑，但他似乎没有听从我的建议。回到马厩的路上基本没有发生什么事，回到马厩后，我们坐下来，享用冷毛巾和点心。
总体而言，这是一次不错的体验，但有些担心马匹的身心健康，而且在海滩上明显缺乏控制/训练。
