With the holidays now officially upon us…
…it’s a time to reflect on how much we love our horses, despite the havoc they wreak on our lives on a regular basis. Because no matter how much destruction, how much heartache, how much complete and total financial devastation they bring to our existence, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
If it’s any comfort, when it comes to #EventerProblems, remember that you’re never alone. Here’s yet another batch of reader-submitted struggles.
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, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42.

Remember kids, when your coach makes you jump 4’3″ lines without stirrups, it’s because you sometimes don’t get to have them on course (and also maybe because you jump ahead a little…and maybe because he just hates you too). #eventing #najyrc #xc #equestrian #eventerproblems A photo posted by Diane Portwood (@diane.portwood) on

29 degrees + knit gloves + double-lock brushing boots = a facepalm moment in the barn at 5:30 a.m. #eventerproblems #didntthinkthisthrough — Erica Spradling (@Erica_Larson) November 20, 2015
That moment when you have a lesson that was so good…it hurts to walk down stairs the next day. #eventerproblems
