Equishop and TVP3: safe horse riding in the program Na KOŃcu Świata
In a world where horseback riding is becoming increasingly popular both as a sport and for recreation, emphasizing the importance of safety is crucial. That's why Equishop, in collaboration with TVP3 Katowice, produced an episode of the program "Na KOŃcu Świata" (At the End of the World), hosted by Zofia Skrok . This is the beginning of a series dedicated to promoting conscious and safe horsemanship, and the first episode demonstrated how a passion for horses can unite generations.
Horse riding and equestrianism – a passion that requires safety
Horse riding is an incredibly beautiful sport, but it requires responsibility and proper preparation. Many beginner horsemen focus on the excitement of their first training sessions, forgetting that safe horse riding begins with the right equipment. A riding helmet , a well-fitting saddle, a protective riding vest , and proper horse-handling habits are the foundation of a successful adventure in the saddle.
An episode about three generations of women
The first episode of the series " At the End of the World" x Equishop tells the story of three generations – grandmother, mother, and granddaughter. It is the granddaughter who begins her journey into the world of show jumping, and the family watches her first steps with trepidation. Are these concerns justified? The program shows that when safety is ensured – by choosing the right equipment and preparation – a young rider can train with confidence.
This episode proved that horseback riding can connect generations. It's not just a sport, but also a tradition, excitement, and shared experiences that bring entire families closer together.
Safe horse riding in practice – helmet and riding vest
The set paid special attention to practical aspects of safety. The role of elements such as the riding helmet , which protects against head injuries, and the riding vest , which provides back and torso support during training and competition, were emphasized. We demonstrated the activation of an explosive vest on set and explained the safety standards that riding helmets must meet before they can be sold on store shelves.
An explosive riding vest equipped with an airbag system is also becoming increasingly popular in Poland. In the event of a fall, it rapidly inflates, cushioning the impact and increasing the rider's protection. This is an example of how modern technology supports the development of safe horsemanship.

Experience on the set
Making the program was a unique experience. The TVP3 team and host Zofia Skrok from Galopem tv ensured that every element of the set—from outdoor shots, through interviews with riders, to demonstrations of equestrian equipment—reflected the truth about daily training. Working with horses and dynamic scenes required the flexibility and commitment of the entire team. This resulted in a material that combines education with an engaging television format.
How the right riding gear transforms your riding experience
The program reminds us that horse riding is not only a passion, but also a responsibility. Choosing the right equipment—from the saddle to the helmet and vest—can completely transform a rider's sense of safety in the saddle. It's details like these that ensure both young beginners and experienced riders can develop healthily and comfortably.
Plans for the future – education and development of equestrian culture
The collaboration between Equishop and TVP3 Katowice doesn't end with one episode. In subsequent installments, viewers will see materials dedicated to saddle fitting and competitions. The goal is to build a culture in which safe horse riding becomes standard in every stable.
