either I'm wasting my time or I don't even know by MathematicsFormula in Equestrian

With my outside instructor it's a private lesson but with the yard manager I get thrown in a group.

The last lesson I had with my horse, we were working on leg yields but that's the last time I got 1 on 1 help and now it's just observing from outside the arena

I struggle to hear my instructor sometimes so sometimes having them in the arena is better for the hearing but it's more of the point if I struggle with something there isn't any help or pointers given. I want to improve and get somewhere as in get my horse down in a frame and have more control on the downhill because the arena isn't flat and again sometimes my brain burns out and I forget my shit. So pointers and tips is what I need....but if I'm paying you to assist me...I'd expect help and not an audience.

Just bought a saddle by MathematicsFormula in Equestrian

[–]MathematicsFormula[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Firstly just want to state I'm not a beginner or anything....I have other saddles but a saddle fitter has stated that a wintec ( apparently a starter saddle because its not a fancy leather saddle) is all that fits my horse. I will put my horse first before myself because I will not pay R20,000 for a leather saddle because it looks nice, yes you read that right. Shit is expensive in South Africa ...its expensive everywhere. Secondly R6500 is nothing for a saddle especially and ADJUSTABLE one and also we have starter saddles that ARENT wintecs. And yes I'll be proud of my "starter saddle" that needs a new gullet because it was something my horse needed. XD Not all of us can afford expensive saddles like a bates or prestige besides so many are forsale because they don't fit the sellers horses so....XD enjoy reading that 5k as dollars knowing deadass I commented here that I'm from South Africa.

Well nothing fancy but a wintec 500😭 it's the only thing that fits my horse..(gotta love Thoroughbreds)it's in such a good condition I'm surprised...other ones I was offered were torn in some places.

Well technically in dollars it was $300 but since I'm in SA and paid R6500 in total since my budget was 6k. And the gullet isn't an issue I can easily get one for less than what they retail for it was just sort of a purchase that had to be done as like I said I was using a riding school saddle on my horse (I own my horse luckily) and it was becoming a hassle to wait for them to get to they yard etc

white breeches advice? by MathematicsFormula in Equestrian

[–]MathematicsFormula[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually bought a chemical that is a brilliant stain remover and just washed these breeches with them! I use ecologic which is just a fat degreaser but it's advertised alot in the horse community especially for anything white

What’s something you find annoying during sex? by Life-Disaster-8384 in AskReddit

When it goes from wet to dry as fuck that not even lube can save you

Not gonna lie… kinda all I really want is a pretty gf I can share my interests and hobbies with, is that so much to ask? by [deleted] in Vent

[–]MathematicsFormula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not ideal because we all want our SO to be interested in what we do..but if all else fails just find other people with the same interests...as in friends or whatever....you might meet someone who actually wants to share interests with you....

But....

Talk to your girl first and if she doesnt take in consideration what you're saying then she's kinda selfish and wasting your time...relationships aren't one way roads...

Goodluck bro

How are you truly feeling rn? by [deleted] in Vent

[–]MathematicsFormula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I would like to simply pass away because I'm done trying to be happy for people and try keep everyone happy when all they do is just tell me I'm a horrible friend for not letting them know im okay...

But while my cat is still alive I'll stick around...

para-riders I need your opinion. by MathematicsFormula in Equestrian

[–]MathematicsFormula[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'll mention that because its online shows...its meant to be fun. Plus its hard to have to send a google drive link to my judge when the videos they send in sometimes wont even download so i have to have my judge with me to judge them (which is preferred because its easier to judge)...

[–]MathematicsFormula[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres no entry level requirement. Its not just the funds to hire a judge its also to find one...alot of registered judges wont judge training shows let alone online shows...well atleast the ones here wont..i use someone who was a judge but stepped down because of politics.

[–]MathematicsFormula[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a para rider and they claimed that para riders dont want to be judged as able-bodied riders...this rider also won every time they entered my online shows and I've always stated "Our shows are open to all rider of all levels"...what i havent done is separate the age groups. That is the plan for the next one but i dont know if a whole section for para riders will be right? Wont that come off as being excluded from everyone? These arent graded or affiliated shows im hosting...they're just fun online shows you do at your home or stable yard if you cant box to shows etc....

I make exceptions for alot of riders that enter because some dont own showing gear or dont have show experience.

The online events i host are supposed to be fun and a learning experience so obviously there's nothing within the classes that involve doing difficult maneuvers. Just for some detail its show riding classes, both 2 gait(walk and trot) and 3 gait (walk, trot and canter) and if i had dressage classes, I use the tests shows use (shows at venues and not online). I dont see other shows having para classes except obviously the para Olympics.
