#EventerSolutions: Buncha Geniuses Up in Here

Where there are #EventerProblems there are #EventerSolutions, as we horsefolks tend to be a pretty crafty, resourceful and frugal (read: broke) bunch. In this spinoff series we spotlight some of your most inventive problem-solving masterpieces. Be sure to tag your photos with the hashtag #EventerSolutions on social for inclusion in future editions!

You guys are so clever. Here’s your latest batch of DIY barn hacks.

Life pro tip: use feminine pads on the inside of standing wraps or boots if your horse has a small injury on the leg! It keeps the wound clean, keeps medicine off your wrap/boot, won't rip off a scab like a paper towel would, and keeps dirt from getting in the boot if they're working! Plus, the sticky side keeps it in place on the wrap/boot. #eventerproblems #eventersolutions #eventingnation #horsehack #equestrianproblems #equestriansolutions

#barnhack Make finding the right bit quick and easy by hanging them! I used a small PVC pipe, threaded a rope through and tied both ends together at the top to hang. Each bit is on a shower curtain ring from the Dollar Tree! Super cheap, fast, AND easy project to keep your tack room organized! Plus…. its another opportunity to show off those barn colors! 👌😍🐴🎉 #protip #organization #tackroom #diyproject #equestrian #eventersolutions #soeasy #perfectsolution #bits #collection #soclean #matchymatchy #efficiency #lonestarfarmwi #mothsequestrian

When it’s your last horse to bring in and someone didn’t leave their halter at the pasture, you improvise with whatever you have… 🤷🏼‍♀️🐎 #IronHorse #IronHorseRidingAcademy #EventerProblems #EventerSolutions #WhateverItTakes #ThankfullyNotADraft #TooFarBackToTheBarn #GoodMannersAreImportant #HopeMyPantsStayUp

#EventerProblems turning into #EventerSolutions – when you can’t find the dog leashes, use the chain lead ropes instead
