#EventerFailFriday: That Awkward Moment When…

Welcome to #EventerFailFriday, a support group for sharing your most strugglebus moments. From slightly sticky moments to full-on bombs, join us in celebrating the fact that every road to success is paved with a few potholes.

The theme of this week’s edition: That awkward moment when …

The best part about failing is, you learn immediately what NOT to do next time. Or, what to DO next time. Either way you look at, I learned a lot yesterday. For example, I learned that the time between leaving the saddle and hitting the ground off this mare is long enough to contemplate the meaning of life. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 #17.3maybe18hands – And that #allstridesmatter – And I still love my Ellie more than life itself. Hopped right back on and killed that line, the right way. 🤣🤣 life’s no fun if you can’t laugh at yourself! #failfriday #eventerfailfriday #ellie #elephant #learningcurve #hitthedirt #webothmademistakes #getrightbackon #bestmare #goodgirl #always #grateful

#eventerfailfriday for ya. We were both perfectly fine, thank you @hitairequestrianusa and @tipperary_equestrian for my vests and helmet and @woofwear for keeping Moose’s legs safe. I only ended up with a bruised elbow, Moose was perfectly fine, not even stiff the next day, and my mom ran to check on the horse first 😂. I feel safe posting it now since moose went to maydaze and had no problem jumping out of the water 😎 #eventersofinstagram #failfriday #appanoose #alabamamoose #nopainnogain #whoopsie #crashandburn
