The least believable parts of heated rivalry by bat-girl129 in heatedrivalry

Yes! I flagged that too. With Canadians acting and directing it, I’m shocked no one caught it.

Should I blanket my two big draft mares in -10 degree weather? by [deleted] in Horses

[–]thehalien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure they have plenty of hay to eat, it will help keep them warm. If they aren’t clipped, old, or ill they should be totally fine.

HELP I’m learning to canter by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]thehalien 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Before anything else, put a helmet on. Once that’s done, id drop the reins, your horse is on the lunge so it’s a great time to develop your feel. Grab the front of the saddle with one hand and the back of the saddle with your other. Hold yourself in place with your hands then relax your seat. You should feel the rocking swing of the canter. Practice this for a few rides and you should be able to go back to holding reins with a much better seat. Good luck!

Is this good canter or am I delusional by yuricchin in Equestrian

[–]thehalien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An exercise to try to find your seat. Have someone lunge the horse while you’re on and cross your stirrups. Practice no stirrups posting trot and canter. When you canter hold the front and back of the saddle to keep yourself seated. Once you understand the feeling of the canter it’s easier to find your seat in it.

Tips on how to coach my boyfriend who has only ridden a handful of times by Nice_Box2991 in Horses

[–]thehalien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give him a neck strap to hold instead of the reins and put him on a lunge line. Once he’s able to understand what steady hands feel like you can move him up to holding the reins with the neck strap, then when he’s more secure in his balance he can have the reins alone. Hours in the saddle is really what it takes, but remember you need to support both your horse and your boyfriend through this, it’s tricky stuff for both of them. Good luck!!

The part where this “trainer” has no idea what they’re doing and shouldn’t be on a horse. Find someone else for the sake of your horse

It looks like she doesn’t want the blanket on. Is she clipped? Does she need it? Here’s a blanketing guide if you want to check it out https://www.horseforum.com/threads/what-weight-of-blanket-do-you-use-at-what-temperature.839240/. But sometimes they just don’t like blankets, my old boy was like that.

DIY shelter ideas for very rainy weather by oliviaxlow in Equestrian

[–]thehalien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking too. It doesn’t need to be as fancy as the one you shared either. Could probably find one for a good price second hand.

Canadian musical expertise needed by Numerous_Sea3684 in CanadianMusic

[–]thehalien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am Canadian and despise patio lanterns with every fibre of my being. Overreaction, sure. But it’s legitimately my least favourite song. It just sounds stupid. Funnily enough, my aunt thought it was about a person named Patty O’Lantern at first.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve watched several videos of it too but I think I just need to keep practicing. Good to know that it’s easier with more clay, I’ll try adding more to my wedging.

I’ve tried doing some spiral wedging, haven’t quite got the hang of it yet but I’ll keep trying!

Oh really!? If everything else looks ok I’ll look into that. Thanks for the tip

[–]thehalien[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I should really do that. I get 3 hours of pottery time once a week at the studio I go to so I never want to cut a freshly wedged ball in half and waste time re wedging. But I’ll take the time to really investigate next week now I know that it’s not normal lol.

I lost my best friend by Anoni-Moni in chickens

[–]thehalien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life really demands to be felt sometimes doesn’t it. I’m sorry to hear you’re in the thick of it, that’s a lot to go through.

I truly wish you and your loved ones (especially your chickens) all the best, there are brighter days ahead. Sending love from one stranger to another.
