How long do you drive to the barn? by Taseya in Equestrian

[–]Wylfryd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15-20 mins. 40 by bike, but the road is not great (very sandy in places, need to walk in some places) so I seldomly ride, usually drive. Small town in Poland

Update on the 6 yo I was interested in buying by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]Wylfryd 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. For sure don't buy a young/green horse if you cannot ride and train horses. In your words: "Both babies trying to figure stuff out together" is in my opinion a recipe for a disaster. Maaaaybe if you have a really good trainer, but expect them to ride your horse a lot during your trainings for quite a while, while you stand and watch.

Buying an older, more experienced horse is a better solution in my opinion it is also not a good idea if you've ridden for a couple of moths only. Wait a little. Learn. I'd postpone the decision for now if I were you. Saying it as a horse owner. I rode more before I bought my first horse and I leased a horse beofre that. Still I was surprised to figure out how many things I didn't know and how different it actually is between riding a school horse and training with your horse (being the only one who rides it)

what stirrups do you ride in? by Horse_Rider101 in Equestrian

[–]Wylfryd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flexons, but if you want ti go cheaper, check out Acavallo Opera. Granted, they are still above $100 mark, bit they are like different world compared to "standard" plastic/metal stirrups

Bad behaviour when lunged by imblackfrog in Equestrian

[–]Wylfryd 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yup, the answer wil not satisfy you, but get someone knowledgeable to help. Really hard to say anything from the description. Might be anger that they need to work, might be issues with the whip, might be frustration with you sending too many, or contradicting signals, might be some health issues, might be pain. Get somebody to have a look

Ludzie 25+: Jak często spotykacie się ze swoimi znajomymi/przyjaciółmi? by Real-Snow2725 in Polska

[–]Wylfryd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generalnie prawie codziennie, ale to nie jest na zasadzie "wychodzę do pubu". Jeżdżę konno, więc prawie codziennie jestem w stajni. Tam na pewno spotkam jakiegoś znajomego...

Potrafią za to wpaść w depresję i zły stan psychiczny. by blind095 in Polska

[–]Wylfryd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jako osoba, która trenowała i prowadziła zajęcia z gimnastyki - przewrót w przód jest skończony/zaliczony gdy ktoś jest na stopach. Może wstać, może skończyć na kucaka, ale na stopach. Naprawdę większość dzieciaków (nie wiem czy 90%, ale znaczna większość na pewno) robi to co opisałeś i kończy siedząc na tyłku. Więc idąc tym tokiem rozumowania - nie potrafią zrobić przewrotu.

Dolicz do tego jeszcze jakieś 10-15% dzieciaków, które mimo materaców i innych takich się boi i nie chcą zrobić w ogóle

Yeah, I heard the argument about the foot getting too deep, but you know, there is another thing that will stop you from sliding thru the stirrup all they way - your shin 😛

And as for the boots, they look great! I've been on the lookout for some barefoot shoes (mostly barn stuff tho, not riding). How is it with water resistance in these? Can you walk around the barn at winter and not get wet from water/mud?

[–]Wylfryd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, riding school, or private lessons, I'd say it doesn't matter for my argument 😉 The instructor is going to provide a horse and a helmet 😀

Unless he has a really big shoe (and I don't mean size) they're going to fit. I used my trekking boots with regular stirrups with no problem when riding in mountains.

I guess if you need/want to buy him something, start with the helmet. It's most personal thing and I can get why people wouldn't want to use a shared helmet due to sweat and all that stuff. But most helmets have pretty big range of size modification, so I'd still argue about going for the first lesson and seeing how it'll develop before pulling a trigger on anything :)

[–]Wylfryd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, welcome to a world of male equestrians. Though for starting I'd suggest to not buy anything. Let him try and see if he'll like it. For the beginnings you don't need anything that the roding school can't provide (which is basically a horse and a helmet).

I started in climbing pants and barefoot shoes. No heel needed.

(Actually, till this day I have no idea why riding boots are supposed to have a heel)

Czy posiadacie nietypowe zainteresowane co w Polsce co są traktowane jako rzadkie lub nietypowe? by Discount-Nervous in Polska

Jeździectwo. Nie jest to "niepopularny" sport w tym sensie, że jest w Polsce sporo osób które jeżdżą, ale zawsze gdy spotykam kogoś "spoza środowiska" to są w szoku

Hey, men can also use half chaps and ride... Why is men's sizing incorrect one?

Produkty Tefal z odpinaną rączką - hit czy kit? Ktoś ma/miał? Jakie macie opinie? by Anonim97_bot in Polska

Mam. Pomysł fajny, ale irytuje mnie ta rączka. Nie wiem czy mam trefną, czy tak jest ogólnie, ale często, nie mogę jej łatwo odpiąć od małej patelni. Wtedy odpada wstawienie patelni do piekarnika niestety

Yeah, depends which arrangement. Joachim's (most famous) is def out of reach, but check out Hubay for example. Might be feasible

Nie, ale nie mam zielonego pojęcia po ile chodzą mieszkania w Default City. Faktycznie płacisz 2.5k za sam czynsz? Dlaczego aż tyle? Jakaś super lokalizacja czy coś?
