Incredible! Horses, views, routes, guides, foods, ocean — this week has it all!
Quinta da Terca的点评
点评:I went on a week-long (7 nights, 8 days, 6 days of riding) holiday with 3 full-day rides and 3 half-day rides. I have been riding for 30 years and these are some of the most incredible rides I’ve been on. The horses are very well cared for (many are rescues who have been given new life) and are incredibly fit athletes. They are sturdy, reliable, and well-trained while still having plenty of energy for long gallops. They are accustomed to things that would spook most horses and take it all in stride. The scenery, especially on the all-day rides (one from south shore to north shore, one in countryside in the middle of the island with amazing, windswept ocean views (my favorite!), and one to sete cidades to see the lakes), was breathtaking. There are plenty of opportunities to trot, canter, and full-speed gallop, and the guides are mindful of safety throughout. Rides are on even in inclement weather, so rain gear is a must. Fortunately, even on a cold and rainy and windy week by island standards, we had sun for at least part of all but one ride. Accommodations are cozy and comfortable on-site at the farm with friendly and helpful staff. Three meals a day cooked by Christina are consistently delicious and nutritious. The farm is just a 15-minute walk from the beach, providing ample opportunity for sunrise and sunset walks. This experience exceeded my expectations in every way, and I hope to return some day! Highly recommend.
翻译:我度过了一个为期一周的假期(7 晚,8 天,6 天骑马),其中有 3 次全天骑马和 3 次半天骑马。我已经骑马 30 年了,这些是我经历过的最不可思议的骑马。这些马匹得到了很好的照顾(许多是被拯救的,被赋予了新的生命),并且都是非常健康的运动员。它们坚固、可靠、训练有素,同时仍然有足够的精力进行长距离疾驰。它们已经习惯了大多数马匹会受惊的东西,并且从容应对。风景,尤其是全天骑马(一次从南岸到北岸,一次在岛中部的乡村,可以欣赏到令人惊叹的海风吹拂的海景(我最喜欢的!),还有一次到 sete cidades 看湖泊),令人叹为观止。有很多机会可以小跑、慢跑和全速疾驰,导游全程都注意安全。即使在恶劣天气下,我们仍可以骑行,因此必须佩戴雨具。幸运的是,即使按照岛上的标准,这是一个寒冷、多雨且多风的一周,除了一次骑行外,我们至少有一部分时间都晒太阳。农场的住宿舒适温馨,工作人员友好而乐于助人。克里斯蒂娜每天烹制的三餐始终美味可口且营养丰富。农场距离海滩仅 15 分钟步行路程,提供充足的日出和日落散步机会。这次体验在各方面都超出了我的预期,我希望有一天能再来!强烈推荐。
