Want some #EventerProblems? I’ve got one for you: When you get home from covering the American Eventing Championships at midnight, stay up another couple hours finishing your last event report, and then, just when you’re about to head for bed, you remember that you haven’t checked on #EventerProblems submissions in almost a week.
So you check, and there are so many of them piled up that you know you won’t sleep well unless you start sifting through them, and then suddenly it’s 3:30 a.m. and you’re doubled over on the kitchen table, laughing hysterically and feeling less alone.
We’re all mad here, my friends. Here are 30 more reader-submitted #EventerProblems:
If you missed them: Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29
