#EventerFailFriday: Can I Get an Extra Side of Failsauce, Please?

You guys have been hard at work on the fails this week, great job! Thank you for bringing a joyful little cringe into our lives on an otherwise humdrum Friday homestretch. Remember: The road to success is paved with fail, which means every last one of you (and many of us reading this, if we’re doing it right) are full-speed ahead.

This is my EPIC #failfriday😂🐎 from last weekend. Poor Ricky. Why is it so hard to let go of the reins when you fall?? I wish I had an after photo. I looked absolutely wrecked. It was amazing. I'm so grateful for such an amazing little pony. We'll figure it out for next time 😂😂😂. 📸 Xpress Foto #epicfail #wetundies #sandeverywhereitshouldntbe #crashtestedmyairvest #pointtwo #eventerproblems #eventerfailfriday #horselife🐴 #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #equestrianlife #crosscountry #jumping #MrShenanigans #hhfeventing

Unfortunately for me, What started out as a fabulous outing at Otter Creek ended rather soggily 😂😂😂. We had a fantastic dressage test that gave us a 32.7 and placed us tied for 2nd on Friday. Saturday he warmed up like a champ and jumped the first 3rd of the course in great style. The water was very busy resulting in spookiness and lack of respect for my leg. Further miscommunication at the water to water fence lead to an unceremonious baptizing and a dirt christened white breeches. 🙃🙃🙃 Also I had to test my air vest sometime! However I am still utterly thrilled with my boy. He was so good the rest of the weekend and I could have ridden smarter to make sure he really understood the question at hand. Lesson learned! #runfree #builtinlifevest #crosscountry #jumpallthethings #butnotfromastandstillRicky #badidea #eventerproblems #eventersofinstagram #horselife #horseshowproblems #equestrian #equestrianlife #barnlife #hhfeventing #MrShenanigans 📷Xpress Foto Design

I can’t wait for fall, but I expect some cool weather crazies like briar displayed in this photo shoot 😂
