Is it too early for #failfriday? Last year Trooper and I had a bit of a miscommunication to jump 8 of our stadium course. I think our faces say it all. #eventerproblems #eventersofinstagram #ottb #oops #nostirrups #stadiumjumping #eventing

Day 5: #trust 🙌 when things go tits skyward, you’re left with trust in your horse to try and get his legs out and stand up, and your horses trust in you to carry on, let it go and take on the next fence. Good boy Timmy here did both of those things. Somehow. #horsetober #equestrianphotography #fail #survivalskills #britisheventing #eventerproblems #toughlife #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #equestrian #countrylife #eventersofinstagram #eventhorseproject

Hind end power….. can you tell he's got working Western blood lines? 🙈 stud man was a little unsure about it but I wasn't upset as it was his first BN and we had very few XC schools and conditions weren't ideal that day,… he cleared it the 2nd time though!🛫 So excited for his future 💖😍 #blackstallion #morganhorse #sportmorgan #eventerproblems #ponypower #ohshit #sitback #morgansofinstagram #morganeventer #muscles fit #flex #squats #millbrookhorsetrials 📷photo used with permission by Brant Gamma Photogrpahy

From Amanda Sims:

From Sarah Cowan and her OTTB Track It Up in the Training division at Dan Hobyn Horse Trial: “I saw the long spot and my horse went for the short distance … oops lol. Save brought to you by my horse who stayed straight, Kerrits Griptek FullSeats, and the determination to not end on a letter!!!!!!! (Especially over one of the easiest jumps on course!”

Go Eventing.
