#EventerProblems Vol. 121: All Aboard the Strugglebus

Have you taken a ride on the strugglebus lately? You’re not alone! That crapshow on wheels is full of smelly, stressed-out eventers just like me and you, and there’s always room for more.

Here’s your latest batch of #EventerProblems. Enjoy!

The jump judge at fence 5 really stinks. #eventerproblems #seenonmycoursewalk #smallwoodlandmammalsofinstagram

Me in the grocery store after a competition day. The breeches used to be white. I used to own matching socks. Yes, that's a piece of hay. Not pictured: the stench wafting off me after 12 hours of horsing in 95% humidity #eventerproblems #GottaEatTho

I only get my hair cut every six months at best and I don't have the heart to tell the stylist that his hard work only lasts as long as it takes me to get back to the barn. At least l look civilized for a few minutes #eventerproblems
